Halaby Looks Brilliant
In the second quarter, Halaby looked brilliant, running and passing off of rollouts and bellies, and keeping the defense honest by sneaking up the middle. The Crimson dominated play in this quarter, as it did most of the game, though the best it could score was three points. Ward kicked a field goal from the Lehigh three-yard line on fourth down after the team had moved 57 yards in 13 plays. Harvard 10, Lehigh 8, at the end of the first half.
Harvard gained the seemingly comfortable lead of nine points in the third quarter. At 8:04, Bill Grana bucked five yards over left guard for the touchdown on the 12th play of an 83-yard drive. Ward split the uprights to make the score 17-8.
Halaby racked up 109 yards on the ground Saturday--the highest individual one-game total at Harvard since his brother Sam ran for 145 yards against Brown in 1958. Ted averaged 5.2 yards per carry against Lehigh; he made three out of seven passes for 36 yards--a grand total of 145 yards for the game. That's only 33 yards less than the whole Lehigh team made all day.
Boone carried 10 times for 55 yards and an average of 5.5 yards per carry, and the outstanding sophomore fullback Grana ran 21 times for 109 yards and an average of 5.2.
As for the team: with better luck, certainly it will not be a cipher.
