"How's things at Harvard" seems
to be the worry question this year.
The fact is everybody is figuring on
what the Crimson is going to do, as
the Crimson, from this distance and
from what was accomplished last
year, seems to have the brightest
prospects among the big college
teams. Harvard comes back this year
with almost the same strong aggre-
cation that won for her the cham
pionship last year. On that alone she
has much to bank, unless, of course,
the new material developed at the
other colleges pans out exceptionally
well. Even then Harvard will have
nothing to fear until she is shown
what is what. Percy Haughton, the
head coach, has been taking it so
easy with the boys that he evidently
intends to go along leisurely in or
der to bring his team up to the
big games at the close of the season
in tip-top shape. Unlike some of the
coaches who are anxious to show
early season form, Haughton believes
in taking his time and allowing the
men to round to when he needs them
most. However, the practise at Har-
ward has been so easy that Haugh-
ton speeded up a bit yesterday and
there was much life and activity all
around. The players seem to be
pretty well seasoned and they didn't
mind the first real hustle of the sea-
son at all.
