...this difference in arenas that caused the Crimson to come a cropper last Saturday, and Major Sargent, coach of the pole team for the past three years, is confident that on the home floor the Harvard team will give a different account of itself. The lineup Saturday will probably pit Gay Dillingham, Winny White, and either Tommy Higginson or Jack Lewis against Alan Corey, Billy Chisholm, and Dava Wilhelm.

He is far and away the high scorer of his team and is chiefly responsible for its string of victories, marred only by the one defeat.
