With the third turnover of the half, Brown had to know it would have to pay soon. On second down, Buckley and Paul Connors made sure the Bruins...
Under heavy pressure at the Bruin 27, Buckley unloaded a delicate screen pass to Conoors, who set off down the right sideline. Shucking two tackles along the way, the halfback found paydirt with 4:51 to go, to seal the Crimson's 10-3 halftime lead...

Surprisingly, fullback Jim Callinan, outstanding in his 100-yd. rushing performance last week, carried the ball only three times for a total...
