...that has developed overnight, it seems, for the concensus of opinion after the Lehigh brush, was that Harvard must inevitably fall before the Army's vaunted attack. Advance season reports on the West Point team claimed that Gar Davidson was scheduled for some tough going if he wanted to whip the team into shape with only three returning regulars. He has done what seemed impossible, and has turned out a team that has flown in the face of the dopesters. And one of the most important factors in the Army's success is the performance of Jack Buckler...
