...picture, obviously, is not completely black. Yovicsin immediately took to scrambling players and positions, and has achieved four successful switches. Last year's top freshman ground gainer, Pete Varney, who has speed and good hands to go with his redoubtable frame (6'2", 245 lbs.) moves to end, where he will start. However, Varney's departure and Szaro's injury--a sprained ankle suffered only three days into the practice season--leave Harvard with only two outstanding halfbacks, Captain Vic Gatto and Ray Hornblower, where they once had four.

He has sure hands and good moves, and could be converted to end or flanker if absolutely necessary. Pete Varney averaged 7.2 yards a carry last fall.

Miller played his freshman year in the shadows of Szaro and Varney. But it was Miller, with his tough slants and dives, who got the yardage when it was needed most. Harvard has always been short of good fullbacks and next year either Miller or Varney could break into the lineup there...
