‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
The varsity football team's 14-0 upset of Cornell last Saturday was characterized by sharp blocking, a coordinated attack, and a savage defense, as these pictures show.
At top left, Crimson quarterback Ted Halaby (25) gets loose for his 55-yard touchdown run, thanks to a perfect block by halfback Chuck Reed (32). The helpless defender is Cornell quarterback Dave McKelvey, who was helpless, one way or another, most of the afternoon.
Halaby's scoring jaunt was the longest since his brother Sam ran 84 yards for a touchdown against Brown in 1958. Another historical note: the Crimson's win was its first over Cornell in the Stadium since 1916.
At top right, second-team quarterback Mike Bassett (23) hands off to halfback Bill Taylor (12). Other Crimson players identifiable are fullback Fred Bartl (30) and guard Ernie Zissis (69). Taylor was a pleasant surprise for coach John Yovicsin. Hurt early in September, he was not expected to play this fall. But he excelled Saturday, in his third day of contact work.
At bottom, Crimson guard Bill Swinford (61) nails McKelvey behind the line of scrimmage. Swinford was outstanding on both offense and defense Saturday, coming up with a flashy interception in the fourth period.
The Harvard Band finally produced something funny. After a comment on the establishment of a Radcliffe House system (get it?), the Band played "Never on Sunday."
