Quarterback Mike Ryan, the Big Red's usual second-quarter signal caller, opened up quickly with a 15-yd. keeper to the 28. On third and six from the 25, from Ryan-to-Brad-Decker fell through the receiver's frozen hands with Terry Trusty covering in the endzone...
Harvard suffered from footing problems on the slick Schoellkopf Astroturf, and a beautiful Lahti to Callinan screen on first and ten from the 20 died when Callinan slipped and fell. A key third and two at Harvard's 32 became disaster when the Crimson clipped and made it a third and seventeen. Lahti's toss for Horner went somewhere into downtown Ithaca, and Millard came in to kick...
...during the first half, three big gainers within six plays brought the Big Red to the Crimson doorstep. Two quick rushes put the ball in the endzone with Bob Muha going over from the two on a pitch-out to the right.

On the next play, Lahti took his time, stepped up and hit Horner on a turn-in at the 5 and the fleet-footed receiver waltzed into the endzone for the Crimson's first points. A Dave Cody kick finally gave Harvard 7, making the tally 34-7 at 5:29 in the fourth quarter...
