Struggles late in the season gave warning signs
A 9-1 season that ended up a disaster.
Despite winning their first nine games for the first time since 1960, the football team failed to achieve either of its preseason goals this year: winning an outright Ivy League championship and beating Harvard.

A very sad, embarassing outcome, and before a great crowd. I do not believe that the team was overconfident; more likely poorly prepared defensively, and the offense was literally putrid with a limping McLeod and a scatter-armed QB. Jack can't win the BIG ONES; never did at Amherst and following suit at Yale.

i would have bet the ranch on yale because i did not know extent of mccleod's injury. it is obvious to all that yale was overconfident if not cocky. they underestimated harvard and the seniors will have to live with this game the rest of their lives. mm peters brown '59
