...having played against highly rated teams yet. Tonight will be the first game of the Northern trip, and whether it is on its way to a fourth championship or not may be seen from its showing against the Crimson. Cobb at forward and Dodderer at center are a pair of hard-playing veterans that will try the Harvard defense to the utmost.

This combination failed to function in the first period, while Baldwin and Slocum, the 1928 forward pair, ran riot through the Crimson defense.
