Both teams thus far have displayed complementary weaknesses defensively. Ever since Dubiel's ineligibility, Harvard has had to face a definite end problem. In recent games, Bob Green and Don Daughters have been turning in admirable performances, and have been ably supported by Gibby Winter and Win Jameson. This improvement, under the tutelage of Wes Fesler, has been swift and continuous, but none-the-less, the majority of ground gained on Harvard this fall has been around the flanks. Few plays have gathered much momentum through the center trio of Gaffney, Jones and Kessler. And anywhere from left to right...
Yale, on the other hand, has never had an end problem--not since Larry Kelley was a Sophomore. And his flank-mate, Carey, can hold up his own end with marked ability.

A friend of ours who recently had the pleasure of visiting her in New York spent most of her time being shown the glories of the lady writer's new Park Avenue penthouse, famous in the eyes of its present possessor as the former home of Ivar Krueger, the match king...
There's one thing about card stunts. They, at least, are easy to stop. But a different problem arises with a band. Some pretty important people did their best to turn off Harvard's band just before the start of the third period in the Navy game Saturday, but to no avail...
