Early in the first quarter, Harvard seemed to have stopped the Red at the Harvard 34 when a third-down pass fell incomplete. But the Crimson was whistled for pass interference, and Cornell was handed a first-and-10 on the 18. The Red couldn't advance further, but were now in field goal range and kicker Dave Quarles converted a 39-yarder for the first points of the game.

Later that period, Crimson linebacker Richard Mau came up with an interception deep in Cornell territory. But Harvard was ruled off-sides on the play, and the interception--which would have been only Harvard's fourth of the year--was negated.

With the game tied in the third period, Cornell was facing a third-and-23 from its own 23. QB Aaron Sumida's pass fell incomplete, but once again the Harvard backfield was called for pass interference, and the Red got an automatic first down.

Perhaps the most costly Harvard penalty of all came in the final minutes of play following the Crimson safety which drew Cornell to within two points. Harvard elected to kickoff on its free kick, and Bruce Jacob's first attempt sailed to the Cornell 30 and was returned only six yards.

But a Crimson kick-coverer was ruled off-sides on the play, and Jacob had to kick it again from the 15. This kick was considerably shorter, and after a longer return the Red started its crucial drive just across midfield at the Harvard 49. Three plays later, Dase's Hail Mary ruined the Crimson's day.

Receiver Recipient: Cornell wideout Hawkins, who caught two touchdown passes Saturday--including Dase's Hail Mary--was named Ivy League Player of the week.
