Freshmen Overcome Elis
Wingback Mike Madden caught a 46-yard pass from quarterback Bill Koehler to spark a fourth-quarter touchdown drive that brought the Harvard freshman football team a 14-7 come-from-behind victory yesterday over Yale in New Haven.
The pass-play, on third and 12 from the Harvard one-yard line was not originally intended to go to Madden, the son of former NFI Coach John Madden.
"I was supposed to clear a guy out, take a guy with me deep," Madden said, explaining that the pass was intended for a split end running a curl pattern. "All of them sucked up on that one guy. In that situation you just hope for the best."
George Sorbara capped the go-ahead drive with a three-yard touchdown run with 3:31 remaining in the game.
