After two costly fumbles halted touchdown marches, the Big Green rallied in the final minutes to tie favored Holy Cross, 7-7, in the game at Hanover on October 20. The tying points were produced by Ron Fraser's sensational catch of a Mike Brown pass and Joe Palermo's conversion. Holy Cross scored near the end of the first half after recovering a Green fumble. Bobbles on both sides and tight defensive play made the game exciting despite the low score.
