CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Harvard took advantage of six Columbia turnovers to defeat the Lions 45-0 at Harvard Stadium.  

The Crimson returned two interceptions for touchdowns in the first quarter to take a 14-0 lead, and scored after a recovered fumble at the Columbia 1-yard line in the beginning of the second quarter to take a 21-0 lead.

Columbia's defense held the Crimson offense scoreless until the final minutes of the second quarter when Harvard used a long run and a 22-yard pass to score with 58 seconds remaining in the half to take a 28-0 lead.

Harvard had one long drive in the game, at the start of the third quarter.  The Crimson drove 75 yards on eight plays to take a 35-0 lead, but Harvard was unable to convert on two other turnovers deep in Columbia territory.
