The Tigers played possession ball, quick-kicking three times in the first half on second or third down, in order to push Harvard back into its own territory.

The Crimson managed a field goal by Tommy Wynne and a touchdown run by Hornblower to take a 9-0 lead into halftime.

In the second half, end John Cramer and the Harvard defense held Princeton to just one touchdown to cement the victory.

Harvard 31, Brown 7

After jumping out to a 17-0 halftime lead, the Crimson rolled past the Bruins, 31-7, for the eighth-consecutive time to improve Harvard's record to 8-0 overall, 6-0 Ivy League.

Emery opened the scoring for the Crimson at The Stadium by returning an inteception 54 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter.

Bolstered by a strong running attack, Harvard kept pushing around the Brown defense, despite an ankle injury to Hornblower in the third quarter.

Harvard 29, Yale 29

With Harvard's victory over Brown, the stage was set for The Game for The Title. Led by star QB Brian Dowling, the Elis started off quickly.

After marching his team downfield with a combination of quick passes and handoffs to All-Ivy running back Calvin Hill, who later played for the Dallas Cowboys, Dowling scampered in from the Harvard two-yd. line to open the scoring. Yale's Bob Bayless converted the extra point to make it 7-0.

Dowling also threw for a pair of TDs in the first half, one to Hill at the start of the second quarter, and another to Del Marting midway through the period. Marting caught a Dowling toss for the two-point conversion following his touchdown to put the Elis ahead, 22-0.

Meanwhile, the Harvard offense was sputtering. A strong Yale defense held the Crimson to only 18 yards rushing in the first half, and Lalich could not get his team to advance up the field.

Yovicsin sent Champi in for Lalich, and the back-up responded with a 15-yd. touchdown pass to right end Bruce Freeman '71 with time running down. A bad snap from center spoiled the conversion attempt, and Harvard went into the half down, 22-6.

But the second half belonged to the Crimson.

Freeman recovered a fumbled punt return on the Yale 25 early in the third period, and two plays later Crim busted over for the score. Richie Szaro '71 added the extra point to cut Yale's lead, 22-13.
