"Unfortunately we were not able to keep the pace we had in the first quarter," Bianchi said. "What our offense is capable of doing is what we showed in the first quarter."

At halftime it still didn't look too bad for Harvard. The score was 28-14, Army, and the Crimson had been seeing its share of the football.

Then came the third quarter.

Nine plays, 67 yards, touchdown. Sixteen plays, 58 yards, touchdown.

Together, the two Army drives took nearly 11 minutes. Total possession time for the quarter: Army 12:29, Harvard 2:31.

No chance for an interception. The Cadets didn't bother to throw the ball. All they did was run, run, run. The Crimson's only hope was to hold Army at the line. But that was like trying to hold back a tank.

"[Army] had two long drives in the third quarter and we couldn't take the ball away from them," Harvard Coach Joe Restic said. "If we were going tohave a chance, we had to get back in then."

At the line of scrimmage, Harvard Captain GregGicewicz planted himself down so low that hisstomach nearly rubbed the astroturf. Down, up.Down, up. He was playing against the wishbone. Itfelt like punishment.

"[The Cadets are] so steady; they don't getflustered," Gicewicz said. "They're happy withfour yards a pop. That can wear you down."

The Crimson's offense, which collected only 94yards rushing, was limited by the absence ofinjured halfback Jim Reidy, the team's top rusher.Without Reidy, Perry was forced to throw.

He hit Bianchi with a 22-yd. touchdown pass3:07 into the fourth quarter to prove Harvardwasn't throwing in the towel. Bianchi then ran theball six yards for a fourth Crimson touchdownthree-and-a-half minutes later.

"We showed that we can move the ball prettyeffectively," Bianchi said. "That bodes well forthe future."
