 Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 2.-(UP)- Richard Cresson (Dick) Harlow, the bald bird-egg fancier, was hailed to- day as the Moses who has led Har- ward football out of the wilderness.
 This ivy clustered center of cul- ture went al out n its praise of Harlow after Harvard plastered Princeton, 34-6, Saturday for its first major victory in four years. It marked the first time the Crimson football forces had bowled over a big time opponent since Eddie Casey's 1883 eleven bashed Yale in the climax game of the season.
 There hasn't been so much opti- mism and genuine confidence here since the bonanza days of the Barry Wood era. No one in particular was surprised at Harvard's victory over Princeton. But the convincing fash ion in which the Crimson lanced the Bengals left even the most pessi- mistic followers delightfully."- bewil- dered.
 On the Upgrade
 It is diffcult to find anybody in this mans town who doesn't believe that Harlow's Harvard will bash Army Saturday and roar along the glory road to It's first Big Three title in decade by beating Yale, That Is what the overwhelming victory over Princeton has done.
 pNlta aAtAVa faAt has hAaVa t1AA springboard of Harvard gridiron hopes for two successive years now.
 When Harlow came here from Western Maryland in 1885, the Har- ward football situation was indeed desperate. His first year out, he had two strikes on him at the very start when one of his most capable backs Captain Bob Haley-was declared ineligible for violating the financial assistance rule.
 The result was that Harlow's first season here was just as barren of major victories as Casey's last sea- son. At the start of the 1896 sea- son, when 1t was felt that the Har- low system was in fairly good work ing order, Captain Elect Emile Dubiel, an end, was declared scho- lastically ineligible. Then came ter- rife beatings from Army and Dart mouth on successive week-ends and the Harvard cause seemed as desper- ate as ever.
 But the Crimson bounced right back the following Saturday to amaze the football world by dead- locking Princeton. Hopes rose to Q new high. Navy was lucky to cap- ture a one touchdown win and Yale squeaked by on the margin of a point after touchdown.
 Men of Harvard were satisfied that the great awakening had come. This conviction was strengthened when the Cantabs went to Baltimore @ fortnight ago and held Navy to @ Scoreless tie. But the following week, Dartmouth came along and punched out @ 20-2 victory.
 It seemed that the fate of Har- yard was att he cross roads again even though Harvard looked good in losing. Then came last weeks Princeton game. A defeat would have meant utter despair. A victory might provide the impetus for going through the remainder of the sea- son unbeaten.
 It is now history that Harlow's carefully planned mousetrap plays worked to perfection against 6 guilt ble Princeton linea nd opened the touchdown gates for the veteran Vernon struck and the sensational sophomore Torby Macdonald. These two boys have been the spearheads of Harvard's rejuvenated attack. But even the best offense can't op- crate without Q good line. That is where Harvard is fortunate. She has two fine ends in Bobby Green and Don Daughters, pair of star tackles in Alex Kevorkian and Ken Booth, two capable guards in Cap- tain Russ Allen and Joe Nee and a smart center in Cliff Wilson.
 The backf1eld includes q pair of ace passers in the persons of Art Oakes and AuStie Harding and resourceful quarterback in Chief Boston.
 All these boys have learned their football the hard way from one of the greatest and most patient teach- CTS in the game-Harlow. They've pulled Harvard football out of the limbo in such approved fashion that Saturday, for the first time since the Barry Wood-Albie Booth duel of 1881, a sell-out Is expected for the Army game.
 Harvard football has arrived. No wonder Harvard Is shouting halle- luJah Harlow!
