...quick flareout to fullback Jim Callinan, who caught six passes for 54 yards on the day, churned up 22 yards. Buckley then heaved a bullet to tight end Chuck Marshall for 13 yards over the middle, then repeated the connection two plays later for another 14 yards. Finally, with 11 seconds to go, the senior quarterback went to Callinan again for a 10-yd. scoring strike that left the visitors befuddled and in the unenviable position of trailing by three touchdowns at half-time...
...Crimson's first touchdown came after a 12-play, 60-yd. drive when halfback Tom Beatrice, who gained a career high 92 yds. on 23 carries, roamed untouched into the endzone. While Buckley's second-quarter aerial acrobatics garnered much of the attention, and the Crimson's running game proved the key link in Harvard's attack. Paul Connors, who fumbled twice in one third-quarter drive, losing the second after he had broken through for eight yds. to the William and Mary five, scampered for 68 yds. in 15 rushes.

First, Crimson quarterback Brian Buckley directed a 12-play, 60-yd. scoring drive late in the first quarter, highlighted by the ejection of a W and M defensive lineman for asking the referee to perform an impossible...
Seven minutes later, Harvard got going again. On first-and-ten at the Indian 29, Buckley went back to pass and saw his tight end, Bill McGlone, alone in what looked like a medium-sized golf green. Buckley's pass interrupted McGlone's solitude, and he strolled in for the second Harvard score...
