The JV football team toyed with Northeastern's JV for a quarter yesterday, then rolled over it for a 42-22 win. Rick Zimmerman's timely passing and repeated long gains by the backfield sparked the victory.

Northeastern scored first, as halfback Don Mills broke through three tackles from the five yard line to culminate a long drive. Harvard couldn't move the ball, but when Northeastern attempted to punt during their series of downs there was a bad snap from center. The ball was downed on the Husky 31-yard line.

Zimmerman called five straight runs that brought the ball to the 15 and then got his first completion and first touchdown of the afternoon with a bullet to halfback Gary Strandemo in the end zone.

Another Husky fumble, this one on their 20, gave Harvard a second period score. Strandemo rushed for five yards and Marshall Goldberg took it the final 15, Beaulieu kicked the point after.

But a beautiful 75-yard touchdown pass tied it up, and it took a 13-yard pass from Zimmerman to Chris Mortenson to give Harvard a 22-15 halftime edge.

In the second half Northeastern scored once, but two touchdown rans by Ron Kram and a single scoring effort by Dave Brick made it Harvard's afternoon.
