...expect to see a hard-hitting, fighting game of football. The main weakness of the Lehigh eleven, revealed in the five encounters it has played so far this season, is its inability to cope with a forward passing attack. The University forces have spend considerable time on their aerial offensive during this past week and it is more than likely that Harvard will use this opportunity to practice this department of the game, especially as the opposing forward wall is far from light...

...Harvard's problem will be to stabilize its offensive game and to match its defense against the Dartmouth aerial attack. The Green will attempt to run the ball but if the Harvard line holds it will resort to the passing game. In order for the Crimson to win it will have to show a vast improvement over the showing which if made against the Army tosses last Saturday...
