...Restic had reason to smile. A week ago the Crimson was a serious Blue Cross case. Restic's troops were really hurting. After the Columbia win, Harvard had 14 major injuries to consider. Restic was faced with the prospect of having to practically rebuild the entire offensive line. At 60 Boylston St. there was talk of recruiting Dr. Kildare...
...Restic smiled when asked how Harvard had come out of Saturday's 33-15 win over Cornell. "We have no new injuries," he said yesterday afternoon. "And the people we had to play without last week should be back for Dartmouth...
...passer, lacks Crone's arm and speed, but he showed greater poise and steadiness in two of his three games last year. Dartmouth and Penn. In his last effort, against Princeton, he threw poorly, but his pass blocking was non-existent. Stoekel's talent limitations reduce the potential of Restic's system, but Crone appears incapable of realizing the system's potential with any regularity...
Harvard does have probably the best one-two punch running game in the League with DeMars and Wheeler. Unfortunately, Restic's system demands that its back catch as well as run, and neither back has shown great hands (especially Wheeler). Wheeler's speed more than compensates for the loss of Richie Gatto as a runner, but Harvard sorely misses Gatto, who led the team in receptions last year, as a receiver...

Cornell has a good passer and a good runner who should continue to score at least 20 points against the Crimson.
