...kick-off after Sullivan's score, Yale right halfback Ken Wolfe showed why he was chosen Ivy bask of the week last week and why he will be a definite thorn for Harvard on kick-off and past returns. Taking the ball on his own goal line, he faked a reverse to halfback Lou Muller and snaked his way 53 yards up the right side of the field to the Princeton...
...when Blanchard off tackle would have been the most likely call, Singleton put the ball is Blanchard's gut as the fullback smashed over right tackle. Just when everybody--including the Princeton defenders -- thought "there goes Blanchard," Singleton pulled the ball out, stepped back, and threw to his right halfback Wolfe, who had had no trouble sneaking down the right side of the field behind Kornrumpf.
