With less than a minute left in the first half, Connie Pensavalle, the Dartmouth aerial ace, clicked off two tosses to Larry Bartnick and Bob Aibrecht, who pulled down 40-yarder in the Harvard end zone. Dartmouth had wide-open chance to pull on even terms early in the third period of this 50th clash with Harvard, but, after Right Halfback Francis O’Brien moved the Indians from midfield to the 10, Harvard’s line stiffened and held for downs.
