Yale led 29-13 with a little over three minutes left in the game. They fumbled deep in Harvard territory when any score by them would have made it a three possession game for Harvard to come back. Harvard scored 16 points in the final 42 seconds to tie the game. Headline in the Boston Globe the next day was "Harvard Wins The Game, 29-29". Calvin Hill was Yale's star tailback. Tommy Lee Jones was an All-Ivy OG for Harvard. If you're interested, find and watch the doc movie "Harvard Beats Yale 29-29" by Gerry Rafferty, made about 10 years ago on the 40th anniversary. It has great, funny and very candid interviews from players for both sides, and some interesting sidebars about George W. Bush, Al Gore (Tommy Lee's roommate at Harvard) and Meryl Streep. [/QUOTE]
