After an account of e writer state: sfaction from the Dartmouth game. ans unexpected. For many seasons natched, and this year, for the first aining and practice before Harvard, th Yale and Princeton, could set the foot »nal two weeks, it is believed, enabled further than Harvard. There is no reason for assuming that Harvard could have beaten Dart- outh under any circumstances, but, the game had been played when Dartmouth was at the point it had reached two weeks ago, or when Har- vard had advanced to the stage it hopes to reach in the next two weeks, the Crimson doubtless would have ade a better showing than it made st Saturday. Princeton has had this r much the same experience that ard has had. but no one thinks New Jersey eleven will be as k. when it plays Yale and Har- rd, as the scores of its early games ve seemed to indic This statement about what might have been is not intended as dispar- Dartmouth team; it one of the strongest elevens seen in the stadium in many a yvear, and it ubtless would have beaten Harvary under an conditions. These reflec- tions are designed rather to give what little comfort they may contain for Harvard supporters, who are likely to %0 through a rather depressing period during the next few weeks. Has Failed on Offense. For, after full weight has been given to the advantages which Harvard's | opponents may have had_this through two additional weeks of t ning, the striking fact remains that the Crimson eleven, in the games against Middlebury, Holy Cross and Dartmouth, has made a total of only x first downs in No other Harvard eleven within th emory of man has had such a poor z on the offense. s taken for granted, after the Holy Cross game, that Harvard's de fense was adequate for almost an: situation,. but the unavoidable .con- <lusion, with the Dartmouth game in mind, is that the failure of Holy to score, when it had a first | down on Harvard's 8-yard line at the | very beginning of the match a week ago last Saturday, was due to the weakness of the Holy Cross offense rather than to the strength of the | Harvard defense. | No one seems to. know | eleven is developing so slowly. Fisher and his associates are probably work- ing harder than any other group of Harvard coaches ever worked, and the candidates apparently are doing their best. The most common expla- nation of existing conditions is the one glven in these actual facts—that there are too many veterans on the team. Experience has shown, again and again, that men who feel sure of holding tHeir positions, although the: may think they are doing their best, do not play with desperation that spurs on a o.ndidate who is trying to be promoted from .cam B to team A, or who, having at last won a place on team A, realizes that he must fight every minute in order to keep- his position.
