Princeton scored first on a 65-yard march led by the passing and running of single-wing tailback Richard Bracken. Harvard blocked a punt early in that series, but a roughing-the-kicker penalty was marked off. After that play, the Crimson defense simply fell apart...
Harvard had trouble handling certain aspects of the Tigers' single wing offense. Tailback Bracken was so effective on reverses and fake reverses that the entire Harvard line sometimes seemed to be moving in the wrong direction...
Surprisingly, before the season began, Princeton fans were not deliriously optimistic about their team's prospects for 1965. All-American fullback Cosmo Iacavazzi had graduated, as had star tailback Don McKay. But Princeton had gone unbeaten in 1964 more because of their excellent defense than the running of Iacavazzi and the passing of McKay. The Tigers had given up only eight touchdowns all season long, and most of their fine defensive line was returning. Guard Stas Maliszewski (215) had won All-American recognition in 1964, and guard Paul Savidge was All-East...
...everyone's amazement, the Tigers' strong point this season has been their offense, and the key to their offensive success has been tailback Ron Landeck. A defensive specialist for two years. Landeck this season has run for 613 yards, scored six touchdowns, and passed for 679 yards. He has thrown eleven touchdown passes--all in Ivy play--setting a new League record with three games...
With the material he has, Colman doesn't have to get too cute. Guard Stas Maliszewski is an All-America. Tailback Landeck turned down five Big Ten offers to come East to college. And any time the Tigers bog down within 40 yds. or so of pay dirt, they can always call on the services of Charlie Gogolak. Like his brother Pete, who boots field goals and extra points for the American Football League's champion Buffalo Bills, Charlie kicks the ball soccer-fashion, with his instep rather than his toe-and he already holds practically every college...
