Powerful Crimson Offense Bombs Columbia, 57-0

Pineapple Milt Holt took the helm on the Crimson's next series. The junior southpaw drove the team 69 yards downfield in six plays and handed off to junior halfback Doug Quimby, who went in from four yards out. Tetirick kicked the extra point with just 27 seconds left in the half.

Tetirick, the second place kick-scoring leader in Harvard history with 89 points, made up for his two missed conversion attempts. With one second left in the half, he kicked a 47-yard line drive that hit the front of the crossbar, bounced up and over the post for the field goal.

Stoeckel and the first unit started the second half and in two minutes had put seven more points on the board.

50-Point Bulge

Columbia fumbled the kick-off and Harvard got the ball back on the Lion 12. Holt came back in and on third and seven tossed a short lob to junior halfback Steve Dart at the five. Dart took it in for the score. Tetirick's toe put Harvard on the half century mark, 50-0.

The record-tying score came with 11 minutes gone in the third quarter. Holt took the team 64 yards in 13 plays and sophomore halfback Burelle Duvauchelle followed his blockers off right tackle for the four-yard TD. Tetirick's final boot ended the day's scoring.

Restic used the fourth quarter to let the remainder of his 84-man squad get some playing experience. The Harvard substitutes fought the Columbia unit to a 0-0 fourth quarter tie.
