Successful Against Yale

Using the same play that proved so successful against Yale, Murray hit Casey with two quick passes that moved Harvard to the Oregon 23. A penalty put the Crimson ahead five more yards, and Casey carried to the 13.

Then Church, substituting for the injured starter Ralph Horween, ducked around the weak side for the final yards and six points. Arnie Horween yards the conversion that was to be the deciding point.

This time it was Oregon who struck back, tallying a field goal near the end of the half, set up by a Harvard penalty.

But in the third quarter, with Casey and Arnie Horween playing both ways, the fired-up Crimson defensive unit completely throttled the passless Webfoots on the ground. An, Oregon field goal attempt near the end of the quarter fell short.

Yet it was not until the final period that Harvard's defense put away the game. Unable to run on the Crimson, Oregon scratched out yardage, but finally had to try a drop kick to get on the scoreboard.

But Manerud's hurried boot was wide by a foot, and by twelve inches the Crimson squeaked through with its only post season bowl title in Harvard's football history
