Chet Boulris led the Harvard football squad in rushing, number of passes caught, and yards gained in runbacks and interceptions, post-season statistics show. Boulris totaled 628 yards this season in 125 attempts for an average of five yards a carry. His nine pass receptions netted the Crimson another 70 yards, and he ran back nine kick-offs for 166 yards...
...even more talkative affair was the Columbia encounter. Much of the conversation in this game, however, was lost on the crowd, since the Lions fielded one of the most multilingual elevens ever seen here. The Crimson's Mudd started the byplay by remarking, "Those Columbia boys are pretty rough. They're from New York City."

Even the first tally was the cause for mild elation, since it was the first of the season for Sweeney, who certainly had one coming. Dick McIntosh led off the fourth-period scoring, followed two and one-half minutes later by Sam Rodd on a head-in. After Rodd's goal, the varsity bench went wild; the previously injured Marsh McCall...
