...Harvard team work was excellent in every way and the Crimson malletmen found little opposition to their well-directed shots. L. S. Dillingham '34, last year's Freshman captain, repeated his stellar performance of Saturday against the Cavalry, being again the Teading scorer of the fray with 10 goals to his credit. Captain F. S. Nicholas '33 played a good defensive game at back and scored for times. W. F. Luton '33 was replaced by W. C. McGuckin '34, another member of last year's Freshman team, in the third chukker, and he in turn gave way to Crispin Cook...

As a result the two elevens will probably resort to several freak strategems in addition to the usual reperatoire of line bucks and forward passes.
