It was largely due to the two sets of forwards practically equal in ability, that Coach Bigelow was able to pilot the Harvard team through to straight victories over both Princeton and Yale last year.

They looked at shivering Mr. Kanevaros of Indiana and waited obediently until ropes were passed and they were all taken off. Pilot Dinsmore, now standing waist-deep, was the last.
