Blanchard and Singleton

If Yale is on offense, look out for Blanchard and Singleton. Fullback Blanchard runs the ball more than any other Yale player, and he, along with a rugged forward wall, has given the Bulldogs their reputation as a bread and butter "grind-it-out-up-the-middle" team. Singleton will probably start the game with the regular straight hand-offs to the 6'2" 203 pound fullback, who favors the stronger left side of the line over Pyle and Balme. When Blanchard isn't plugging away, Ted Hard, a 6' 190 pound junior, will do it for him. Both fullbacks run with a vengeance and eat away at the middle until the defense starts to stop them (which hasn't been very often).

If Blanchard and Hard find the going rough, Singleton will take the ball for himself. And he has a right to. In his last home game last week, the 6'1" 200 pound senior played his best game ever, and earned the distinction of Ivy back of the week. He ran the ball seven times for 83 yards and completed six out of seven passes for 119 yards and a grand total of 202 yards. He threw three touchdown passes and one extra-points pass, and ran for another TD for 26 points-not a bad one-man performance.

His roll-outs around either end keep the defense honest, also causing a lot of destruction. One of his TD passes last week was the result of a roll-out to the left. On two other plays, Singleton rolled out to the right and ran for 28 yards and 25 yards deep in Princeton territory to set up two of the Yale TD's.

In short, when Singleton rolls out around either end, hope that he doesn't run or pass.

Don't try to put yourself in the shoes of the Harvard defensive halfbacks, or you'll end up drinking your troubles away and miss most of the game. The defensive back will have to come up to the line of scrimmage quickly to help the linebackers stop Blanchard when he gets the ball. Some of the time, however, when it looks like Blanchard is getting the ball, he won't. Instead, it will be a pass, and the defensive backs will have to back-pedal fast to botch the play up. The play is the belly pass, with which Singleton threw two TD passes of 38 and 23 yards to Wolfe usually sets to the right, and while Singleton fakes the ball to Blanchard off right tackle, he sneaks down the right side of the field. These are the strong points of the Yale attack: the fullback up the middle, the roll-out around end, and the belly pass.

Occasionally Singleton calls his plays on a quick count, catching the defense off-guard (usually with Blanchard off guard). When held on downs, Singleton will punt. Last week he booted one time for 39 yards-the average distance for the 29 Yale punts this year. (The Crimson has punted 48 times for an average age of 35.5 yards). Two times week's game Will centered the to Singleton quite high, forcing quarterback to run. Once he saved by a Princeton off-side the other time he took off tackled 24 yards and a first latter.

If Harvard is forced to punt: hope that Wolfe doesn't get the He has a habit of returning like he does kick-offs.

When Yale is on defense, see enough of 6'3" 233-pound 6'1" 215-pound Balme; and 6'2" pound King. These three hulks joined by Will and Kay, and the sult is one of the toughest into lines in the East.

And when Harvard fades back pass, rushing just as hard as the interior linemen will be ends and Hutcherson, or their studies Ruly Carpenter and Lundstedt.

Second string quarterback Leckonby-one of the few lefty quarterbacks around-will probably as a defensive halfback for Single . He is tough, and he has a penchant for intercepting passes.

It is too bad that only people the East will be able to see the game as the NCAA regional television game of the week. Many people the Chicago area would be watching with special attention. Nine players on this year's roster come from area of New Trier High School including starters Singleton, Pyle, and Bursiek.

One Yale coach has a special reason for wanting Olivar to play the end team today. He is end coach Jacunski, whose twin sons Richard and Robert-sophomore be on the bench. The father, spends every week scouting Olivar, will want to see his sons varsity action for the first time.

Harvard players will be trying the damndest to deny Pa that pleasur
