...usual, but Harvard had Rocket Rod Foster at QB. Early in the first quarter. Foster dropped back, spotted a wide-open receiver, and threw the ball into the stands. Dartmouth won again, 49-14. My junior year, Joe Restic came down from the Canadian woods, and another quarterback, Jimmy Stoekel, broke the Harvard passing record with 20 completions, which says something about the last 99 years of Harvard football. But Dartmouth still won, on Ted Perry's last second field goal(" I did it for Dad," Perry told the Record American after the game...
...Jimmy Stoekel, a good short passer, lacks Crone's arm and speed, but he showed greater poise and steadiness in two of his three games last year. Dartmouth and Penn. In his last effort, against Princeton, he threw poorly, but his pass blocking was non-existent.

Getting good field position (an advantage UMass enjoyed more often than not) when Harvard's Jim Stoekel was forced to punt from his own 20 against a strong wind. Pennington proceeded to destroy Harvard's secondary...
...Jimmy Stoekel had replaced Crone at quarterback by this time, however, and he put Harvard back into the game with a 59 yard touchdown pass play. Tight-end Hagerty, who played an excellent game with three receptions after his first quarter fumble, caught Stoekel's pass near midfield, picked up a nice block by sophomore wide receiver Pat McInally, and raced all the way down the sideline...

On the first shot, Stoekel was sacked for a ruinous 15 yard loss after another sensational Wheeler run had put the Crimson in scoring range. The second time. Stoekel threw an interception after Wheeler, his intended receiver, had been bumped coming out of the backfield. And finally. Harvard's last gasp a 12 play, 69 yard, two-minute drill drive, died when Stoekel was hit from behind and fumbled...
