"We are much further along in training than anybody except perhaps Dartmouth." Gambril said Thursday. "If we don't have any illness problems we could make a month's progress over Chriatmas...
...This year's freshman team may be better than last," Gambril said yesterday, and while the point is debatable, several freshmen did have outstanding Harvard debuts.
