On third-and-11, Rose dropped to pass and found Morris in stride downfield. Morris took the ball to the Princeton 31-yard line.

Harvard got back into its double-tight end, double-wideout set and gave the ball back to Leiszler, who gained three yards up the middle.

On second-and-7, Rose found senior tight end Brendan Kramer at the Princeton 8-yard line.

On first-and-goal from the eight, Leiszler took the ball on a trap play--in which the left guard pulled and blocked the left defensive tackle--up the middle. Though he was met at the goal line by both Princeton safeties, he ran over both of them for the final score of the game with 3:18 remaining.

Princeton took the ball on its next possession and worked it down to the Harvard 13-yard line, mostly on the strength of five Splithoff completions. But, because of penalties and a timely sack by junior defensive end Phil Scherrer on fourth-and-11 from the Harvard 14-yard line, the Crimson recovered the ball on downs and Rose kneeled twice to run out the remainder of the clock.

In contrast to the Cornell game two weeks ago when Harvard could not protect a lead in part because it did not run the ball enough to take time off the clock, in this game the Crimson was able to pound the ball on the ground.

"Our offensive line really took the game into their hands," Leiszler said. "They opened such huge holes at the end that it made my job very easy."

Another reason that the Crimson enjoyed success in this game was that, for the first time this season, Harvard did not cough up any turnovers.
