TEAM SHOWS SMALL PROWESS AGAINST HANOVER ELEVEN

Outrushed, outpassed, and outplayed by the Indians, the Harvard Varsity football team left the Stadium last Saturday with a whole scalp only by providential intervention, and it starts in today with the most intensive week of practice that it has yet seen, in an effort to eradicate some of the many weaknesses which appeared during the 10-7 victory over Dartmouth.

Lacking the snap and jauntiness which the underdog Dartmouth team evinced, the Crimson eleven disappointed its followers by getting into the swing only once, and that just after Pescosolido's superb 93-yard touchdown runback. The Harvard squad was crippled, to be sure, in the second half, but that cannot serve as an excuse for the poor showing put on as a whole by Casey's players, even in the face of a Big Green team which refused to be beaten.

The loss on Saturday of three key men, Crickard, Hageman, and Hardy, had made Harvard supporters anxious for the coming games, but both Hageman and Hardy will be out for practice today, and Crickard's contusion of the thigh will at the most keep him out of the Brown game. Incidentally, Wells played through practically the whole Dartmouth game with a broken left hand. Dr. Thorndike stated last night, however, that the first-string quarterback will be in condition to practice this week.

Harvard's forward pass defense was its greatest weakness last Saturday, with Dartmouth completing 12 out of 17 throws. The Crimson kicking was also spotty, although Dean did get off one or two magnificent spirals.

Harvard's inability to fathom or stop the short underhand Dartmouth pass was another source of disappointment to Crimson supporters, for Fishman, Powers, and Hedges reeled off numerous gains on that play. Wells was so ruslied on his own passes and the receivers were so well covered that Harvard attempted but five passes and of that number completed only two .

The Crimson must now face its remaining games with much loss confidence than before, and, starting with Brown this coming weekend, will have a bitter battle for every game. The Bruins, according to all reports, practically played under wraps when making their 11-0 victory over Tufts last Saturday, and with one of their best teams in years are pointing straight for the coming battle with Harvard. Army, after its 20-0 walkover at the expense of Yale, should prove fully as tough an opponent as last year
