Yovicsin pulled out O'Grady after that and tried Joe Roda, and later. Rex Blankenship. But it didn't make too much difference who was in here-26 Crimson passes netted only 72 yards, and the team didn't move significantly better with a new signal caller...

...Dartmouth may deserve a little better reputation than it received after the Brown game, and Harvard perhaps a little less. But the Crimson is not the same team it was when it faced the Bruins, and it would be a mistake to judge it on its early October form...

CORNELL-YALE: Cornell's coming off a pretty fair Saturday, but so is Yale. Both teams are better than anyone expected, and all of a sudden my heart sings. In a sentimental throwback to the marvelous years of Mantle and Maris, Yale is referring to Joe Massey and Don Martin as its M and M boys. Ingenious.

Tommy entered this stock car race, in which he had little chance, so that he might win and thus buy Laura a diamond ring. High aspirations, good try, and all that, but now Tommy's dead...

...curious game, their three backs bunching close behind the quarter-back and breaking through the centre of the rush line together. Their play was effective, rarely gaining for them less than three yards, and often five or eight. The reason the Harvard team could not stop these rushers better lay in the fact that all the men were very slow in getting through, and all tackled high. The offensive game of the Harvard team was the best that it has played this year. The running of the backs was strong and the blocking off of the men unusually good...
