A Casual study Of the records Of

II would seem from this, thep' that
Harvard could make goodeuse OF a

Lourie and Garrity in good health
and sound physical condition, the
Harvard line will be subjected to
most trying ordeal. 1t. is to Be
doubted at this time whether the
Harvard line, as now constituted,
will be able to turn back the full
fury of the Princeton attack which
was so notably successful last year:
Harvard's Luck Big Help. =
Princeton clearly outplayed Har-
ward last year, but Harvard got
l4-to-14 tie. Harvard's luck domi-
mated then, and until the Centre
game it had been prominent this
season. But while luck has AT
times determined the trend of vic
tory, no psychic force has ever
stopped Lourie in an open field or
withstood the impact Of one Of
