Whitton has been forced to plug non-lettermen and sophomores into his defensive unit to make up for heavy graduation losses there. If Harvard's backs can get to the weak side often and early enough, they should be able to counter-balance Holy Cross threat through the middle. It is the unusual Crusader offensive system, partly patterned after Princeton's old single wing, that will give Holy Cross and early advantage...

...DARTMOUTH-NEW HAMPSHIRE: The Big Green never lost to the Wildcats, and chances are the streak will remain alive, despite the fact that UNH is psyched up for this one. UNH has looked good so far, but Dartmouth is improving fast in supposedly weak areas and should...

Robert Shaw will star in the hymnbook version of Elmer Gantry, Sinclair Lewis' novel about a corrupt evangelist.
