Park is quite correct. The Crimson secondary has held up well against several good passing games this fall. It has yet to yield a touchdown on the bomb, and twice has returned interceptions for touchdowns. But Park's defensive backfield has yet to face a quarterback as dangerous as Princeton's Scott MacBean, and its success in stopping him will most likely be the determining factor in any Harvard victory this afternoon at the Stadium...

...Tigers have serapped their disturbingly-successful single wing system this fall. and installed a basic "T" formation with MacBean as quarterback. It took them almost a month to adjust to it sufficiently. and in the process, they lost to both Rutgers and Colgate, and had to rally to defend a Cornell squad that at the time had little more than tailback Ed Marinaro...

PENN-YALE: Some of us saw last Saturday what Penn can do. We also saw what it can't do, which is a good deal. Quarterback John Brown expects to realize today his life dream: scoring a touchdown.

His replacement was Roman Gabriel, then in his fourth year of spotty, second-string duty. The plays were sent in by the coach and "the boys didn't think too much of me in the huddle," Gabriel recalls. "I can't say that I blamed them. I had no idea how to read a defense." He soon became a speed reader. In the season's remaining month...

...first period was nearly over, and already the contest was potentially a Harvard rout. With John Brown, a former defensive back, at quarterback because of injuries and undependable substitutes. Penn could not hope to achieve offensive consistency against Harvard's impregnable defensive line. The only chance for Penn to score as much as it had to was to beat Harvard at field position, and poor punts were killing the Quakers...
