When Harvard scores on three out of six plays and gets all but the last called back; when sub backs seeing action for the first time this year try field goals from the 30-yard line; when a team that can score at will kicks from punt formation on second down more than once, even a football game begins to look more like a circus...
...wheel horse of the Army line is bashful, 225-lb. De Witt ("Tex") Coulter, who plays tackle on offense, switches to center to make long passes back on punt formation, and is one of the best close-up pass-defenders in the business.
