Crimson On Top
Harvard had dominated the first half in everything except scoring. For the first time since the Bucknell game, the Crimson put together long marches, the best of them an 89-yarder that accounted for the first touchdown. Never gaining more than nine yards in a play, quarterback John McCluskey, fullback Stan Yastrzemski, and Pat Conway, a half-back for the first time in his varsity career, chewed off the distance in four-yard plunges. They got immmeasurable help from a fourth-down penalty on Brown after the Bruins forced Harvard to kick. McCluskey set up the score with a nine-yard sweep and scored by himself, over right guard.
The big yardage came at right tackle, where Joe Jurek, end Frank Ulcickas and guard Chuck Reischel were opening huge holes in the Brown line. Yastrzemski, turning in the biggest game of his three-year career, took advantage of the huge holes to gain 39 yards in the half and 48 in the game, 10 less than McCluskey, the team leader.
Dunda Breaks Through
But now Dunda took over puncturing the Harvard pass defense as everyone had been afraid he would. From his own 42 he tossed 19 yards to Rich O'Toole, then, from the 38, sent his ends long and fired a shot pass to fullback John Kelly, cuting over the middle on a delay pattern. Yastrzemski, not exactly a Bob Hayes type, was guarding Kelly on the play and the Bruin back outlegged Yaz for a socre.
But neither Dunda nor junior Bob Hall could get the passing game going in the second half. Five times Brown quarter-backs found themselves flattened by the Harvard rush; only once did they move their team.
That one came when Dunda, from his own 49, threw to halfback Bill Carr on the right sideline, and Carr raced to the Harvard 30. But there Frank Ulcickas
