The Crimson came right back with the only sustained touchdown drive of the game, grinding out 79 yards in 16 running plays. After that, the offense failed to pick up a first down until Foster took off on his touchdown run.

Although Harvard's defense gave up 417 yards in total offense, it consistently came up with the big play. Rick Frisbee picked off a Princeton pass in the end zone in the first quarter, and Jack Neal came up with one of his two interceptions to halt a Princeton drive late in the first half.

Golden and Farneti both stopped Princeton threats with interceptions in the fourth quarter, and Spencer Driescharf set up the Crimson's first touchdown with a fumble-recovery at the Princeton 21.

Ten in Two

All together, Harvard's defense intercepted five passes and recovered three fumbles. The Orimson has picked off ten passes in the last two games.

One-aspect of Princeton's offense-was unstoppable. Relentlessly sweeping the Harvard ends, Princeton's Bjorklund, the nation's fifth leading rusher, set a Princeton season rushing record-with 187 yards in 28 carries.

Offensively, Harvard was hardly balanced, but the lopsided statistics are a little misleading. Foster is using more variation in his play calling now, and opposing defenses in the last two games have been unable to concentrate too heavily on any one facet of the Crimson's running game without being hurt. Sweeps, options, roll-outs, off-tackle, draw and dive plays all worked fairly effectively, at least most of the time.

And unlike other games earlier this season, no one running back had a spectacular day while the rest were buried. Foster used the option effectively, pitching out to both Harrison, and Teddy DeMars for good yardage while picking up 112 yards himself. Fullback Tom Miller also contributed to the running game, pounding out over 50 yards up the middle.

Foster's passing was not as miserable as the statistics made it look. While it must have been frustrating for Freeman, Pete Varney, and Bill Craven to watch passes sail over their heads, Foster was robbed of two touchdown passes.

Craven dropped one and stepped out of the end zone before gaining control of the other. The second near-touchdown came on a good call as Foster chose to go to the air after 12 straight running plays, throwing deep on a second and one at the Princeton 15.

Harvard's band escaped its censor last week and tickled the alumni people with its filthiest and best halftime show of the season.
