Yovicsin's biggest fear, however, is fullback Boyd Taylor, who carried the ball almost two-thirds of the time against Delaware and averaged. 4.1 yards per carry. He hits inside and outside on the tricky "belly" series off the T formation. Quarterback Walt King, who is dangerous on belly-koep runs, could also cause damage with passes. He completed seven of ten serials for 88 yards and a touchdown last week...
Harvard's first string backfield behind Halaby will include hard-hitting fullback Bill Grana, veteran left halfback Tom Boone, and agile Chuck Reed at right half, recently switched from fullback to replace the sidelined Hank Hatch. As expected, the starting line will be composed of captain Pete Hart and Bob Boyds at ends; Darwie Wile and Disk Diehl at tackles; Bill Swinford and Tom Gaston at guards; and Dave Nyhan at center. All but Grana, a sophomore, and Diehl, a junior, are seniors...

Chuck Reed, switched from fullback to halfback recently, will probably start at right half with Tom Boone at left. Hank Hatch, who sat our last week with a strep throat, will be running second team behind Reed this week...
