...about Cambridge the sentiment seems to be that Harvard couldn't be as bad as it was against Army last year for two seasons in a row. There is hope in the college that has developed overnight, it seems, for the concensus of opinion after the Lehigh brush, was that Harvard must inevitably fall before the Army's vaunted attack. Advance season reports on the West Point team claimed that Gar Davidson was scheduled for some tough going if he wanted to whip the team into shape with only three returning regulars. He has done what seemed impossible...
...lineup for yesterday was the same as it has been all week with the exception that Rogers seems to have the edge on Francisco at left tackle.

The injury is healed now and he is set to go against West Point...
...scrimmage only lasted for 10 minutes and, since Casey worked out with individual assignments, no attention was paid to attempts at a score. Prouty and Litman looked good in this workout and showed promise that they would keep up the good work that they turned in during the Lehigh game. Prouty is a capable passer and a good field general and Litman is the hardest runner of the halfback competitors...

Again and again fast men like Allie Sherman, Pesky, and Adzigian were expected to do all the work in making first downs.

For the better part of one period...
Aside from that there is not a great deal to say about the running game, since Casey kept the reserves on the field most of the time. In the forward pass department the Crimson intercepted all four Lehigh passes...
