That, however, is but one of several possible backfield arrangements, because all of the boys are equally well at home in at least two different places. Bucker Bill Brown and quarter back Hank Vander Eb are two more good replacements so the Harvard backfield juggling this week is not a sign of weakness but one of the mystery. It does not seem possible that the continual pressure which these eight men will be able to maintain on a rather tired Eli eleven can be denied throughout 60 minutes of bruising football...

Charley Spreyer's kicking actually been Harvard's best offensive weapon to date, and his presence in the lineup is essential. In addition, with Macdonald sidelined or ready only for limited service, Spreyer is the nearest Crimson approach to a triple threat back.
