...captain and quarter back of the 1919 Harvard eleven and who has been scouting Michigan this fall, gave the squad a talk on the various Wolverine formations. There was no demonstration of these plays, but this afternoon will undoubtedly find the Crimson eleven's in a brief skeleton drill against the Ann Arbor team's attack...

Incidentally that was Myerson's first hard work since the Army game...
