Gus Grim, John Ballantyne, and Winston Carmichael ran for touchdowns in the fourth quarter against dead, luckless Lafayette.

The Leopards' deepest penetration was to the Harvard 42 in the first quarter. Starting quarterback Gerry Facciani moved his team nowhere on his first two tries, so Lafayette coach Harry Gamble called on Ed Baker, his sophomore passer. Two passes into Cobb's zone and two draw plays picked up 36 yards. But on third and 4, Crimson middle guard Stan Greenidge stormed in to throw Baker for a ten-yard loss, the key defensive play of the game.

Desperate Shape

On Lafayette,s next chance, Baker completed a pass into Harvard territory, but Yaniger fumbled, Williamson recovered, and the rest was all Harvard.

Lafayette was in desperate shape by the fourth quarter--the Leopards fumbled on live of their first nine plays in that period, but the final score attests to the Crimson's depth. Standouts among the reserves were hard-running halfback Tony Smith and linebacker Gerry Marino, who led his team with six tackles and added an interception.

Harvard's kicking, a question mark before the game, was strong. Placekicker Wynne was four-for-five on conversions and consistently reached the goal line with his kickoffs. Left-footed senior John Beaulieu added placements after Harvard's final two touchdowns.

Paul Saba averaged 41 yards on four punts and the Crimson's coverage was excellent, despite the new rule restraining interior linemen at the line of scrimmage.
