Dunc Mauran, a stocky, driving full-back, was Harvard's only consistent ground-gainer and when he left the game in the third period with a bleeding mouth, the losers' only real offensive threat disappeared. Mauran was removed to Stillman and the extent of his injury could not be determined last night...
...watch in the Army backfield this afternoon are Jim Cain, Vic Pollock, an do course Arnold Galiffa. Cain is the Cadet's fastest runner and leading ground gainer, with an impressive 147 yards in three games. Top yards-pertly man is Pollock with an average of 8.4 in 15 tries.

Armed with a strong steel stand, he might have managed it with comparatively little trouble; but now he is on very weak ground, open to damaging accusations that he has given up on the fourth round and is going along with big business. Now, Murray was undoubtedly right from a long-range point of view when he dropped the wage demands and stuck merely to pensions; but his locals won't see it the same way as the public. To them, it could...
