...yielding five interceptions (not all of them his fault, but five interceptions just the same). Thus, the running game figures to be vital in the Crimson plans. Fullback Jim Callinan has worked out this week and probably will play, but his battered shoulder may reduce the junior's utility. Halfback Paul Scheper is still out, so the pressure is on senior halfbacks Paul Connors, who has not yet had the long-awaited big game, this year, and Tom Beatrice, who has been most effective as a pass catcher...
...Halfback Paul Scheper is definitely out, as is tight end Linus O'Donnell, still battling the mumps. Fullback Jim Callinan, a crucial factor in coach Joe Restic's offensive plans, remains questionable with a bruised shoulder. Halfback Paul Connors has a slight leg pull but should play; linebacker Brad Stinn seems to have recovered sufficiently from his concussion suffered in last week's 20-12 victory over Cornell...

After Crimson halfback Tom Beatrice fumbled at midfield, Fusco put together a late first-quarter drive climaxing in a one-yd. touchdown plunge by Cornell Fullback Ben Tenuta...

Ninety-three yards later, Rocky had the third longest interception return in Harvard history, Harvard had a 7-0 lead, and Cornell had massive indigestion--no one, it seems, can feed off of this year's Harvard defense...
