Harvard QB Larry Brown started off the game displaying his usual brinksmanship at the helm as he led the Crimson on an 85-yard drive that culminated in a 25-yd. Gary Bosnic field goal...
Halfback Wayne Moore got the drive started with an 18-yd, jaunt around right end which only foreshadowed what turned out to be by far the best day of his Harvard career (97 yards on the surprisingly low total of five carries). With the ball on Harvard's 35, Brown then hit tight end Paul Sablock all alone on a crossing pattern to bring the ball into Columbia territory...
Sophomore running back Paul Connors, who runs like a cross between a sewing machine ar-1 a machete, burst up the middle for a 17-yd. pickup, his longest of the day, putting Harvard at the Lions' 25-yard line.

Bosnic then came on to give Harvard a 3-0 first-quarter lead...
Columbia came back and the Lions were knocking on the door with five minutes to go in the first half until a Fred Cordova interception in the endzone snuffed a 60-yd, drive. Columbia finally did get on the scoreboard just before the end of the half on a well-orchestrated drive that saw tight ends Eric Blattman and Kevin Cook snag a pair of key receptions.
