...backs to match the ones Harvard saw racing around at Palo Alto, a similar defensive flaw today could easily put the kibosh on the Crimson's hopes for its first victory of the season.

Today their first string fullback, who was ineligible for the Lord Jeff game, will be available and at the same time the Harvard line will not be at full strength...
