Accordingly, most of the armchair quarterbacks are wondering whether Crimson signal-caller Brian Buckley will click with a rehabilitated Ron Cuccia, whether Tommy Beatrice and Jim Callinan will tear through the Eli defensive front, whether coach Joe Restic will use his tight ends with the same success he has in recent weeks, and whether the big-play Harvard defense will provide the difference...
Calm and restrained, Buckley then led a 12-play, 80 yd. 5:15 drive that brought Harvard to within a touchdown. He ran eight straight running plays--three to Jim Acheson (Connors' replacement), two to Tom Beatrice and two to Jim Callinan--methodically moving the Crimson to the Penn 35. A screen pass to Acheson picked up 17 more and with 1:51 left in this cathartic quarter. Buckley hit Callinan in the right-hand corner of the endzone for a 13-yd. scoring strike...
...Crimson defense--playing its most bedraggled ball of the season--allowed a 29 yd. Penn field goal on the Quakers' next drive. Now down 17-7, Buckley took the gridders 76 yds. again in 12 plays. Callinan ran the ball three times for a total of 25 yds. on the march, Beatrice five times for 27. Connors put it over from the five with 4:23 to go in the half, and Harvard was down...

Two years ago, the Quakers went up 13-0 in the first quarter before Harvard came on to win 17-13... Two-hundred-fifty pound linemen don't scare them, but Callinan and center John Francis hate airplanes and suffered during the flight home...
