Little Nick Mellen was outweighed 60 lbs. by opposing guard Herring, but the latter spent all afternoon picking himself off the ground . . . Austie Harding's choice of plays was uncanny during the second half...
...usual Harvard will be outweighed, 2089 total pounds to 1989, a nice round 100 lbs. Every one of the opposing linemen are six feet tall or more, but tops in Bengal beef are 6 foot 5 inch left tackle Tierney (226 lbs.) and left guard Herring 6 foot 1 inch...
