This week honors have gone to halfback Billy Taylor, hero of Saturday's 21-15 victory over Dartmouth, who scored two TD's, led the Crimson rushing attack with 74 yards in 15 attempts for a five yard average, and--probably most important--ran for three crucial first downs in the agonizing "whatever-you-do-don't-lose-the-ball" drive in the final six minutes after Dartmouth's second TD...

Warren took the ball over from the three, and O'Connor passed to him in the end zone for two points after. That made the score 20 to 7, at the end of the first half...
