broken held dashes of Lourie, but in
the main both machines looked as if
'hey had been working only two or
three days. Callahan's passing soon
became erratic, passes were dropped
and the slump became general.
1t was not until Murrey and Lourie
worked out their great passing and
receiving combination in the third
quarter that the game settled down
INTO an old-fashioned Harvard Prince
ton contest. And it was not until the
last IL minutes of the game that
Harvard suddenly emerged from its
mental haze and began to discard the
hammer or mass play for the foil of
the open game. The pass from Muir
rey to Lourie was the most spectacu
lar play Of the day.

For the first time this season it was
meeting heavy, well-trained defens-
i've machine that knew how to break
through and tackle, and this made a
huge difference In the final result.
Owen was one of the main stars
upon defense, but even he could only

edly the interj lection of Buell. into the
program that brought the Crimson
through with a draw. If Harvard had
persisted in her earlier tactics she
wouldn't have scored upon Princeton
