During the half we are led to believe there was a fight talk. Harlow decided to insert burly bucker Ben Smith to improve on the none too deceiving spinning fakes of Joe Gardella. Still Smith was not able to work any wonders for a little while, for Princeton had obviously scouted Harvard's spinners down to a fine point...
...darkness setting in, and all the glamor of the half-light and the white ball spurring them on, the top teams ran through a really jazzed-up signal drill.

On the "B" eleven Ray Jones, elevated since Bob Burnett's ankle injury, took over the wingback post...
...Bucker Ben Smith and the fast-coming Joe Gardella (who should see plenty of action especially to bolster the backfield defense) will try to keep the spinning offense at the kind of past when they were ripping through the Army line.

Harvard will count on an equal-weighted but superior starting forward wall, backed up by Cliff Wilson and Tim Russell, to stop the Green attack, and then will attempt to turn on the offensive steam. Each opponent has scored 20 points against the Harlowmen; today they will...
Captain Bob Green and right tackle Ken Booth, the two most reliable performers game in and game out, were again top-notchers for the total forces.
