...return of Arnold Horween as head coach of the 1930 Harvard football team is no surprise to followers of Crimson gridiron fortunes. At the time of the Yale game it is rumored, Horween told the players with whom he had been working during the arduous 1929 campaign that he would come back for another season and even those less intimately connected with the mentor whole heartedly expected his return next fall. Mr. Bingham's announcement was received with thunderous applause by the Harvard players and will be equally well received by University undergraduates and graduates alike...
...Coach Horween's regime; Harvard elevens have been definitely committed to offensive football. The new system got under way slowly and has had its ups and downs which have brought showers of criticism on Coach Horween. The season just ended however; seems to have shown pretty conclusively that the Crimson is on the right track and another fall with the same coach in charge should find a definitely established system travelling along at top speed. Without doubt Coach Horween's decision must have been influenced by the wealth of more than promising material which will report to him next September...
...victories, 13 defeats and two ties; Harvard has scored 508 points to its opponents 322. The new regime started inauspiciously with only three victories out of eight starts. In 1927 the new ideas had taken hold as was shown by the record of four victories; 1928 saw the Crimson score five triumphs and one tie, while it suffered only two defeats. The same record was turned in this fall, but Harvard's schedule was one of the toughest in years. The same major opponents will be faced again in 1930, but Harvard rooters may look ahead with confidence...
...American candidate since the days of C. J. Hubbard '24 and his unanimous choice as captain of the 1930 eleven speaks volumes for the confidence which his teammates spokesmen for the entire undergraduate body have in his ability as a leader and a player. For two years the rangy Crimson center has proven a tower of offensive and defensive strength. His brilliant play this fall has won him the praises of coaches and experts who have watched him and his name has figured on all the "All" teams chosen so far. Ticknor's forte has been his sensational defensive work...
...only sport which claims Ticknor's services. At Milton he figured prominently in baseball, basketball and track as well earning nine letters. At Harvard however he has devoted his time solely to the gridiron and diamond. Last spring he covered the left field post on the Crimson nine and will once again be a candidate for this post...
