Still Harvard pressed the tiring Quakers. McCluskey took the team down to the Penn 36 before Grant was cut down short of a first down on fourth and two.
With less than a minute left, Poe interceped a Wisniewski pass and returned it 22 yards to the Penn 37. McCluskey, raining passes in all directions, moved the team down to the 18 where, with two seconds left in the game, Jim Babcook came on to try a field goal. But the kick was short and wide to the right, and the Quakers escaped with their tie.
Razzle-Dazzle
The Penn touchdown was an unsavory combination of opportunism and Coach Bob Odell's razzle-dazzle. The Quakers punted after the first series of downs, and John Dockery muffed the catch at the Harvard 15 and had to recover the ball at the nine.
On the first play, halfback Sammy Robinson fumbled as he was hit and Penn's John Rodgers pounced on the ball at the five. But the Crimson defense stacked McGill up twice and fullback Whit Smith once to put Penn into a fourth down situation at the two.
Odell then sent Henderson in to line up a field goal, with Wisniewski holding. Wisniewski took the snap, stood up, and flipped the ball to Smith, who had peeled off along the right side and into the end zone. Henderson then kicked the point after to give Penn a 7-0 lead.
Later in the first period, Harvard took over on its own 47 and drove stendily downfield until Choquette cracked into the end zone from the three, and Dullea converted.
Leo suffered the pull on the last play of the third quarter, and entered Stillman Infirmary after the team returned to Cambridge.
Coach John Yovicsin said last night that although he hadn't spoken with Leo's doctor, he did not think the halfback would be ready to play against powerful Princeton.
