Defense against aerial threats showed improvement over past performances this season. Art Fitzgerald, the halfback who scored three times against the Crimson last year, made his first appearance in heavy drill after a layoff of more than two weeks, following an aggravation of a pre-season injury in the Dartmouth game.
