Rose, who doesn't have the strongest arm on the squad, is a very accurate passer, and it showed against Princeton as he completed 25-of-36 passes, a 69-percent completion percentage.

The 35 points scored by Rose and the high-powered Crimson offense were the most points scored by a Harvard team ever against Princeton.

In the first half, Harvard sophomore kicker Anders Blewitt missed a field goal from 36-yards out.

Princeton took over on downs and went 80 yards in nine plays for the game's first score with 6:01 to go in the first quarter. Splithoff tallied the touchdown on a five-yard quarterback draw play.

On the kickoff, Nwokocha returned the ball 62 yards to the Princeton 39-yard line. Seven plays later, Leiszler followed senior fullback Grady Smalling up the middle for a two-yard touchdown run to tie the score at 7-7 with 3:13 to go in the first.

After that score, the game turned into a defensive battle until late in the second quarter. With 5:23 to go in the half, Leiszler took the ball in for a score off the left side of the Crimson line behind Captain left tackle Mike Clare for a touchdown, putting Harvard up 14-7.

Princeton struck right back on the next drive. Atkinson returned the Harvard kickoff 58 yards to the Crimson 37. Six plays later, Splithoff dropped back to pass, evaded Laborsky, who had him lined up for a sack, and scrambled 20 yards for a touchdown to tie the score at 14-14.
