Harvard Gridders Paint Hanover Red

21-7 Win at Dartmouth Gives Crimson Share of First Place

Dartmouth had little trouble then moving the ball down the field

Senior halfback Lorenzo Chambers paved the way as he did all afternoon when the hosts decided to stay on the ground picking up 23 yards on the drive including the final two for the lying touchdown.

The score on the 14-play, 58-yard drive, which included two successful fourth down conversions and a Saltzgaber point-after, tied things at seven.

One unsuccessful series apiece then quickly closed out the first half, and then one unsuccessful series apiece quickly opened the second.

Dartmouth had a shot to open things up when Big Green defender Len fontes intercepted an errant White pass at the Dartmouth 35.

But the Host could manage just yards off the big break, before punting the ball back to Harvard.

And that Big Green failure to capitalize on the turnover--something that's plagued the folks in Hanover all season--doomed the Dartmouth squad.

Because on the next possession, Harvard drove 71 yards in nine plays to go on top for good. And the key was the one in the middle, which went for 38 yards.

After The Big Green had stopped the Crimson offence. Steinberg lofted s 40 yard punt that Dartmouth's Scott Truitt fumbled.

Harvard junior Ken Tarezy quickly scooped up the free ball at the 20 and the Harvard offense had, in a flash picked up 38 yard s.

From there, the Crimson needed just four plays to find the endzone Santiago's 15-yards bolt on fourth and one from the 15 put Harvard on top, 13-7, and Steinberg made it 14-7.

The visitors put it away for good the next time they got the ball, thanks in part to White's nifty play-calling and thanks a lot to Vignali's nifty running.

Harvard travelled 75 yards in 7 plays to go up by two touchdowns, with the score coming or a 33-yard Vighan run.
