Against Harvard Brown made one continuous advance of more than 60 yards and was finally held up by her own poor judgment, “Against Brown Harvard depended on sending Ralph Horween over the | line, while Yale relied on opening up | a hole for Braden. This makes the Harvard offense more certain of gains and, followed up by the off tackle dashes of her brilliant backs, rounds out a more dependable offense. In the open game, judging by her work against Brown, Harvard covers up the play better and varies the pass more skilfully than Yale. “Kempton, against Brown, gave thc play away, but showed pronounced ability to complete his pass with curacy and dexterity. In the kicking | game the Crimson teams are always | well grounded. Against Brown, the ! kicks were higher and better covered than was the case in the Brown-Yale game. Both teams use an unbalanced line. “On defense the Harvard harder to pierce, but the men are li- able to get confused, while the Yale secondary defense is more dependable “Summarizing the two teams, bath from a defensive and offensive stand- point, Harvard is smoother, more uni- form and better stematized.
