Not since 1916 has a Harvard team tasted defeat until this year, never has an eleven come so near to downfall as the game band of substitutes who, with the final whistle only a few seconds away, tied the powerful Penn State invaders. But the advantages of the heavy early season work have been great. Against Coach Fisher's men have come some of the best teams of the East. The Crimson has seen thrown against...
