assistance. Chief Boston, the block
ing back, did as good down-the-
field job as even Knute Rockne
could have demanded.
Defensively Harvard also was
alert, sticking to the fundamental
principle Of following the bali. The
second touchdown was set up when
Green picked up the ball after a
punt had been blocked on Prince
toms 40 and ran to the vineyard line.
The third came when Struck ran Is
yards for the score after grabbing
a partially blocked punt. The final
one resulted in the last two min
utes of play when Macdonald ram

Harvard Has Given
Exceptionally Good
Account of Itself

EFINITELY that "a to 6 score
- that Harvard rolled up against
Princeton when the Crimson defeat
ed the Tigers for the first time since
1923, by the biggest margin the
Cambridge boys ever recorded over
their New Jersey rivals, gives some
indication as to the football trend
for the next season or two.
How can the man write such
things, you ask, when everybody
knows years have elapsed since the
nation permitted members of the
erstwhile gridiron trinity to set its
styles? Right you are, save that I
am not claiming that Harvard and
Yale, which have been operating on
similar lines all season, have any
exclusive formula.
Football has overlong been doc
t0red with quack n0strums. Wher-
ever alumni suffered from too many
defeats some long haired medicine
man was called in to prescribe a
touchdown restorative. Naturally
these panaceas, for all that they
were Ornamented with fine soothing
words, were as useless as the aver
age run of such things. Since they
merely titivated the patient pleas
urably for a while without getting
at the basic ailment, there in
variably was relapse.
That is where Harvard has benefit
ed by the presence of Doc Harlow,
a healer of the old school and a gen.
tleman who previously had made
the nation sit up and take notice of
patients at Penn State, Colgate,
Western Maryland and a few other
clinics. Using the same common
sense remedies which made John
Harvard such a robust football fell
low from 1908 to 1916, he has
achieved results which might even
have satisfied Percy Haughton.
Haughton, it may be recalled, was
no fancy don of a football coach
even though he may be listed as one
Of the five all-time greats. Aside
from the unbalanced line, with
which others were experimenting at
the time, it is difficult to associate
him with any contribution to the So
called science Of the game.
He taught his Hardwicks and Pen
nocks to block and tackle. Wendells
and Bradlees were taught how to
slant off the tackles, sweep around
the ends or smash through the CEN
ter.

said dryly.

Fine. Old-fashioned But he's
all right" Quentin answered and
lapsed into silence again.
Presently he began:
There's something l want to say
to you, Vic"
Victoria looked at him with bright
eyes.
It's probably something I've
never asked you to say" she said
evenly.
mo, you've never asked me to
say it. And it won't do any particu-
lar good for me to say it," the man
answered, his body bowed forward
now, his big hands locked between
his knees, his eyes on the fire. But
I'd like to say this, just the same.

the chair opposite his own. The
spring night was cold, and she had
put on for dinner an old brown vel
vet gown with deep, childish en-
broidered collar; her wave d
brushed mop, her round serious
eyes, and the f1at-heeled brown vel

stool all helped to give her the
aspect of a child.
You mean you wish you were
done with Serena?'
Il am done with her!" Quentin
muttered, not raising his head from
