...coach's second reason for not starting Bilodeau involves Bilodeau. "Every time we want to fill a position, we turn to this boy. He plays defensive halfback. He's on the punt team. He holds for kicks. When Poe was hurt we had him practicing at left halfback. So this is the problem we've had: if he becomes the quarterback, how much can we play him where he's been playing. We have to make some decision considering what's best for this boy and for Harvard football as a whole...
...drive started after Dockery returned a Roberts punt to the Harvard 45 and ran it out of bounds with 1:50 remaining. Bilodeau, looking very much like a professional quarterback, snapped off 10 plays in the next minute and 21 seconds to move Harvard to the Lions...

But Wally Grant, Bobby Leo, and John Dockery are as fine a trio of halfbacks as you'll find in the league.

Two plays after receiving a Tufts punt, Crimson quarterback Benjamin Smith flipped a short pass to halfback Don Sadoski on the Tufts 35-yard line. Sadoski shook off two tacklers and scampered down the sideline to paydirt...
