Bates comes here with little more than the hope of gaining a moral victory. When, the Pine Tree State eleven last played in the Stadium in 1919, they were downed by a 53 to 0 count. This year's team is now hard hit by injuries. Three first-string backfield players are out of commission owing to injuries incurred in last Saturday's clash with the Massachusetts Aggies, and until then Coach Dave Morley had hoped to give Harvard a good day's work...
