But on this toss of the second half, the noticeably limping White underthrew an open tight end Steve Abbott, connecting instead with Penn's Rosss Armstyrong. The two squads then traded punts, but with time winding down in the third quarter, the Quakers put the game out of reach.
White 3:35 left in the stanza, Penn's Mike O'Neil scooted in from the 2 yard line to cap a 12-play, 55-yard drive that put the hosts on top 24-7.
After that, Harvard folded and Penn took control with two efficient scoring drives.
The first score came six seconds into the final quarter, when Quaker Pal Buchler took an 18-yard scoring strike from McGeehan in the endzone.
Up 31-7, Penn continued to dominate and closed out the day's scoring with 8:10 left, as running back Steve Olekszyk capped an 11-play, 70-yard drive with a 7-yard jaunt up the middle.
THE NOTEBOOK--There are no tickets left for The 101st Game against Yale next weekend, which almost assuredly will be televised locally by Channel 2. Harvard now leads its series with Penn, 35-18-2. In the last several minutes, Restic used third-string senior quarterback Greg Kouvelas, who completed one of three tosses.
