November 22, 1971: Harvard, the underdog, cruises to a 28-2 halftime lead on the basis of an 8-of-12, 143-yard two-touchdown performance from Crone and the excellent running of halfback Teddy DeMars. The Crimson wins going away, 35-16. The defensive backfield intercepts four Yale aerials. Yale finishes its season at 4-5. There are tears in New Haven...
November 25, 1972: DeMars breaks away for an 86-yd. touchdown run in the first five minutes. Harvard jumps out to a 17-0 lead after only 18 minutes and is in command, 17-6, at halftime. Yale hasn't won in Harvard Stadium since 1960. But...Dick Jauron rushes for a total of 182 yards and two touchdowns, boosting the Bulldogs to a 28-17 come-from-behind win. It's Crone's first loss to a Yale team. Some Yalies steal the Harvard Band's big drum. The bands and cheerleaders of the respective sides clash at midfield...

Take cornerback Rocky Delgadillo, a junior who saw limited action last year. All he's done is intercept an Ivy League-leading seven passes (including one for 93 yds. and a touchdown in the 20-12 victory over Cornell).

...last, junior fullback Jim Callinan, (425 yds. for a 4.5 per carry average) has emerged as one of the League's premier backs: but that's one thing Yale already knows. As a sophomore, Cal emerged from obscurity in The Game to pick up 73 yds. rushing, a touchdown and player-of-the-game honors. Senior halfback Tom Beatrice, one of Harvard's most reliable performers for two years, joins Callinan in the backfield alone with senior Paul Connors or junior Jim Acheson. A highly-touted local recruit, Connors has been plagued by the fumble and Acheson has come...
...fans jamming Soldiers Field to capacity fall silent. Holt is about to run the option play--a sprint to the left side of the field which will offer him two alternatives. The first is to find an open receiver and try to throw him a touchdown pass. The second is to fake the pass and attempt to run into the end zone himself. The ball is snapped. Holt rolls to his left, pump-fakes toward the goalposts and keeps on running, meeting the Eli defense at the goal-line and pushing forward for the score. The Crimson wins a share...
