Fencik Thwarted
Highly-touted Eli star Gary Fencik only caught one pass all day--a twelve-yard nab in the waning moments of the game.
"Yale was not smart enough to throw away from Fencik," conerback Jon Judge said. "Billy Emper did one hell of a job on him."
Three Yale interceptions hurt the Crimson cause, often just as Harvard was mounting a drive. One of the interceptions squelched a Crimson campaign that saw Harvard go from its own 20 down to the Yale 30 yard line.
Mark Andrews nabbed two of the errant Harvard aerials. Judge stopped what appeared to be a certain Yale scoring drive as he intercepted a razzle-dazzle pass from halfback Gesicki on the Harvard five-yard line.
The game, which attracted almost 67,000 fans, the largest crowd to see an Eastern college game this year, was played under conditions resembling those the first Harvard-Yale game was played in: cold and cloudy.
