Freshman Gridders Cruise, 35-0

Freshman Football

The Crimson made Panfield give up that thought very quickly.

Harvard linebacker Greg Ubert picked off a Princeton aerial on the Tigers' opening drive, giving the offense possession at Princeton's 27 yard line.

Two plays later, with the conversion, the Crimson had a 28-0 lead. Quarterback David Kuhn threw a short out pass to tight end Don Gajewski, and Gajewski broke tackles down the sideline to complete a 25-yard touchdown play.

Princeton's continued inept play led to the final Harvard tally. Crimson adjuster Rod Comisar grabbed a Tiger fumble out of the air at the visitors' 20-yard line and fell to the 18.

After advancing only nine yards in three plays, Harvard's offense faced a fourth and one situation at the Princeton nine yard line. Disdaining the field goal, the Crimson attempted to run for the first down.

That looked like a bad decision when halfback Sean Carew fumbled the ball at the line of scrimmage. But credit Carew with an assist.

The ball rolled into the end zone, where offensive tackle Ron Cami pounced on it for a touchdown. "A touchdown by an offensive lineman--that's just something that doesn't happen," Cami said. "It was a lucky play. I just happened to be in the right place."

Coach Kubacki said he was "very pleased" with the Crimson's performance.
