Harvard 10, Cornell 0

Vic Gatto ran for 76 yards to earn the all-time Harvard rushing title and scored a touchdown against a strong Big Red defensive unit to give the Crimson a 10-0 shutout over Cornell at The Stadium.

Halfback Hornblower also netted 138 yards on the ground, while Lalich completed 11 of his 18 passes for 102 yards.

Harvard 22, Dartmouth 7

The Crimson combined a balanced offensive attack with a solid defense to establish itself as a legitimate Ivy League contender with a 22-7 win over Dartmouth at The Stadium.

A mighty Harvard defense--led by linebackers John Emery and Dale Neal--held the Big Green to 16 yards on the ground in the first half, while Crim and Gatto each ran for touchdowns to give the Crimson an early lead.

Lalich completed 11 of 19 passes for 119 yards, but Harvard's only passing TD came on a Gatto toss to Hornblower on the halfback option.

Harvard 28, Penn 6

By capitalizing on Penn mistakes in the first quarter, the Crimson earned a key win over the previously undefeated Quakers at The Stadium.

Harvard turned a pair of interceptions and a Penn fumble into 14 points early in the game. After Gatto returned a punt 70 yards for the third touchdown of the quarter, the Quakers never recovered.

Penn Coach Bob O'Dell called the Harvard defense "the quickest I've seen in my four years at Penn."
