...their defensive line-breaking in their own territory. Harvard played her centre loose on defence, and this helped a lot. Cornell's centre had better have played similarly; but he didn't. Cornell is unquestionably a better team than she showed herself to be Saturday. She received a dose of genuine football class on Saturday, and it unsettled her.
