The Harvard offense proved to Se effective, but the play on the whole vas ragged. The most notable feature Tas the evenness of Harvard’s second let of backs.

Nesmith play Ed in Hurley’s regular position These wo backs were able at almost every urn to reel off from four to six yards. Hills, who played full back, also proved a tower of strength.
