ready embla2oned his name in Har-
ward Yale records His two field
goals against Yale and the manner In
which he handled the big Crimson
team won him enough glory TO last
the average football player life

Arnold Horween, the Crimson cap
tain. starred in every game played
by Harvard this year as a ground
gamer. With Owen and Churchill
he plowed up the enemy lines for con-
sistent gains and he also had the
menace of the educated toe to COM

proved his versatility when he was
| taken from the center position and
switched to fullback. where he in
stantly made good. AS q line plunger
he Is one of the most consistent
ground gamers We have ever seen
and his work on defense is as nearly
perfect as 1t could be. The fact that
he is fast for a big fellow. keeps his
feet well. uses excellent judgment in
picking holes and kicks field goals
with power and accuracy gives him
the edge on other fullbacks.

He pointed out that friendly betting
