...second half belonged to Kirkland. The second half belonged to Krikland. The Deacons had their own way until the final quarter, when they tallied on a six yard pass from star quarterback Bill Garety to end John Gray. Krikland threatened again, but a long punt by Bruce Downey pulled Dunster out of danger...
...injury, and Canadian football takes on an even more frantic pace because a team is allowed only three downs to gain ten yards. Passes come fast and frequently as quarterbacks shoot for the distance. The ball changes hands so often that kicking takes on an exaggerated importance. Downfield, a punt receiver is allowed no fair catches, gets only the dubious protection of a five-yard safety zone until the ball is caught. Long run-backs, as a result, are few and far between.

A holding penalty set the Crimson back to the 17, from where Ross just missed the point...
...teams battled on even terms during the second period; neither penetrated the other's 30-yard line. But early in the third quarter, guard Bruce Lundsfort blocked a punt by Crimson quarterback "Bing" Crosby on the Harvard 25. Lundsford recovered on the two, and quarterback Jim Valles went over on the next play. A passing attempt for the point failed...
