Pat Conway gave Harvard another chance to score by returning the kickoff to the Harvard 44. But the Crimson couldn't move and Jerry Mechling punted out of bounds at the Yale 19.

Guzzi Intercepts

McCarthy went back to the air, but with less success this time. His first pass, intended for Carter, went straight to Harvard halfback Paul Guzzi, who charged back to the Yale 34.

After one pass failed, McCluskey rolled out to his right, and raced 14 yards to the Yale 20. Grant got a first down at the seven, but an offensive penalty put Harvard back at the 12.

McCluskey sent Grant off-tackle to the right. Then he took it himself and charged around right end behind a huge wall of blockers. Yastrzesmki gave him the last block and he vaulted into the end zone for Harvard's second touchdown.

McCluskey liked the rollout so much he tried it again on the extra point, but this time Yale linemen closed in to stop him at the five. It was Harvard 12, Yale 7.

Punts and Fumbles

The Crimson couldn't stand the success, however. They forced Yale to punt; Carey fumbled the pass from center and then raced up the sideline for a gift first down. Again Yale was forced to punt. This time the kick was downed on the three, and on Harvard's first play, McCluskey fumbled the pass from center.

There were just 19 seconds left in the half when Yale's Chris Beutler recovered the ball at the Harvard seven. It took only six seconds for McCarthy to fade back and pass, notice a huge hole in the right side; and run seven yards for the score. Vance's perfect kick made it Yale 14, Harvard 12.

Both Harvard and Yale put together long drives during the third quarter, but neither could push over a score.

The Elis took the second-half kickoff and showed their best running form of the day. Cummings, Niglie, and McCarthy picked up big yardage around the Crimson's left side, where the limping Jurek was holding down the tackle position for Harvard.

Eli Drive Stalls

The Elis picked up four first downs, moving to Harvard's 17 on a draw play midway through the period. But there the drive stalled; three running plays netted only eight yards. On fourth down, McCarthy faded to pass, but Jim Driscoll hit him before he could do more than cock his arm, and John Hoffman smashed him down at the 13.

Harvard took over and Yastrzemski bowled through the middle for a 30-yard gain on the first play.
