Boulris, after picking up 87 yards in 22 carries against Dartmouth, has moved into fifth place among running backs with a total of 191 yards in 45 tries, an average of 4.3 yards per attempt. He is second to Cornell's Tom Skypeck, the Ivy "Back of the Week," in punting, with an average boot of 37.5 yards...
...Crimson, pass defense was the most glaring weakness in the Harvard ranks during last week's 21-14 loss at Cornell. The varsity backs simply don't seem to have the speed and experience needed to cover shifty receivers, and this fault, fatal against the Ithacans' Tom Skypeck, may again prove disastrous against lefthanded quarterback Bob Scheu of the Engineers...
Cornell took over again, but on the second play from scrimmage Skypeck, on a brilliant piece of backfield trickery carried for what looked like a long gain to the Harvard 20. As he was tackled, however, he fumbled, and Bert Messenbaugh recovered for the Crimson. Six plays later, Boulris fumbled a Ravenel handoff into the end zone, where tackle Eric Nelson recovered. Boulris was stopped on the one-yard line trying for the extra points and Cornell led, 15 to 14, at 0:44 of the fourth period...
...perhaps unfair, however, to say the Crimson's pass defense was glaringly weak. Skypeck's passes were so accurately thrown that very little could have been done to stop them...
There is little doubt that Skypeck was the difference in this battle. He was an excellent field general and personally accounted for 145 of Cornell's 310-yard total offense. If Cornell had played with an ordinary quarterback, the Crimson would probably have won; the way things turned out, the varsity was fortunate to hold on as well as it did.TOM SKYPECK (11) rushes into the end zone for Cornell's second touchdown, as CHET BOULRIS (40), LARRY REPSHER (14) and SAM HALABY (30) are caught going the wrong way. The play started from the Crimson five-yard line...
