ELEVEN SEEMED TO WORK MUCH BETTER IN GAME SATURDAY

Paradox though it may be, Harvard looked a good 50 per cent better while taking a 19-0 defeat from Princeton than it did a week ago during that tragic 10-0 whitewashing handed out by hard-driving Dartmouth. A week ago the situation looked hopeless; now there is some light ahead for the approaching Army game.

For over the weekend the Varsity proved definitely and for all time that it has two great virtues: it can fight for 60 minutes against the best teams in the country, and it can put up a defense that is very satisfactory in all departments, save perhaps that of forward passes, in which field Princeton tried 19 times and was successful on 11 occasions.

Spirit Good

Certainly Harvard's spirit, in the first category, was the outstanding feature of the day. No one gave the Crimson much chance of setting back Fritz Crisler's beautifully drilled and tremendously potent warriors, but that feat of holding the Tiger to 7-0 for three periods was a moral victory in itself. Spirit and fight have certainly returned to Cambridge. The amazing thing is that there was only one substitution in the Harvard line at center. The rest of the linemen played for 60 minutes and did a fine job, considering the opposition they were facing. Captain Herman Gundlach was again the outstanding Crimson man on the frontier. Shaun Kelly played a beautiful game at right end, making many really hard tackles. The Princeton sweep didn't gain much around his end.

Defense Has Possibilities

Defensively speaking Harvard has definite possibilities, and there doesn't seem to be any danger of the Cadets providing another 46-0 trackmeet on Saturday. But the trouble is, how is the Varsity ever going to score against a major opponent like the Army? On the past weekend Harvard had a net gain of 29 yards against the Tigers' 333. Princeton's distance was somewhat to be expected, but the Crimson will have to show something a lot better if they are going to provide a winning score. Freddy Moseley again displayed his talents, but for the rest, its up to Casey & Co. to build up an attack capable of giving Harvard a margin to work on.
