...crucial factor in this game was a last minute Bruin fumble at the Penn tenyard line, effectively busting a potential victory drive that had begun at the Brown...

They drove all the way down the field only to fumble on the tenyard line. I was played up as the hero of the game because of the last minute touchdown pass. Because we won the game my four interceptions were overlooked...

The sophomores soon settled down to work, and repeated rushes by Holden and Porter forced the ball to '87's tenyard line. Play was now fierce on both sides. '88 had the ball and passed it to the half-backs. Holden made four or five short but plucky rushes. Some times a dozen men would be piled up on top of him. Finally Porter secured the ball, and by a determined...
