Malley, T-quarterback, passed to two touchdowns, and gained over a hundred yards through the air and running, but he didn't half extend himself. He threw only a few passes in the second period because the freshman defense had just about folded and the Cross running plays were doing quite well enough...
...Deacons will be depending on quarterback Hol French and four other veterans of last fall's crack team to keep their single-wing attack moving. Coach "Tank" Langdale isn't overly worried about his "new line," and his team is two deep in every position. Half of last year's championship first-stringers have returned for this season...
...Smith once said, "Look at the record." And the record shows that the grandstand quarterback was wrong. Take his theory that Harvard should have used more end runs. Now look at the facts. Cornell has one of the fastest teams in the country. That means that backer-ups should be able to get to the flanks quickly to squelch end runs. On the Harvard side of the picture, the Crimson's one breakaway runner, Hal Moffie, was out of action. And two men who must throw crucial blocks on end-around plays, quarterback Bill Henry and running guard Howie Houston...

This was a magnificent example of the second guess in action, coming, as it did, hard on the heels of the Cornell touchdown scored by intercepting a Noonan pass to the right flank. What the second-guesser forgot was the Harvard Managed to gain twice as much yardage through the air as on the ground (187 to 91).
