...wave of "breaks," the Junior Varsity football team rode to a close 6-0 win over a light Dartmouth team on Soldiers Field yesterday. The Crimson team showed a marked superiority throughout the game but failed to follow up any scoring opportunities after they capitalized on some early mistakes by the Green...
With their backs up against their own goal line after a punt by the Indians early in the first period, the Crimson team kicked to mid-field. The Green team made a mere five yards through the stone wall Harvard defense, and elected to kick on the fourth down. The kicker was rushed, and he lifted the ball high in the air only to have it fall on the line of scrimmage. A back roll put it five yards behind the line when a Crimson man jumped...

It's why you sweated and studied and dreamed. It is the dust and monotony of a practice field. It is the soggy, moldy smell of the locker room. And remember, that ball is coming down now. Ahead are eleven men in Green who will try to stop one man, but ten men in Crimson will help that one man. They are your friends. You've seen them...
