...fourth quarter dash broke up a frustrating afternoon of defensive football marked by aggressive lines and a fierce wind that stopped punts and hindered passing. Harvard maintained a narrow offensive superiority throughout the game, but had to rely on Swinford's interception and a 30-yard scoring dash by halfback John Shipman late in the fourth quarter to emerge on top of the scoring column...
Before the field goal, the two teams exchanged punts and pass interceptions, with a four-yard Crimson kick into the wind not aiding its cause. Three 15-yard penalties against Harvard during the second period kept play down at the wind-ward end of the field.

Says George Cvijonovich, scientific leader of the group: "It was really a mixture of astonishment and aesthetics, because the landing was aesthetic at the same time that...
...also huffily rebuffed Producer-Director Billy Wilder's smallest advice ("You'll make me forget how I'm going to do this scene"). A mild man, Wilder survived by treating Monroe like a fine Swiss watch: "Only it doesn't start ticking when you just wind. You have to shake it a little-not just any old way-but just so." ¶ Producer Darryl Zanuck, fervent avuncular friend of Left Bank Singer Juliette ("the wild one") Greco, rode into battle for his protégée.
