 Named at yesterdays weekly meeting, Harlow declined to take full credit for Harvard,s rapid im- provement in the pastt wo weeks. He said defensive assignments and formations, which have limited three strong opponents to 6 single touchdown, were worked out by the entire coaching staff on 8 game-to. game basis.
 Harlow attributed use of his crip. pied bunting ace, Loren MacKinney, in the second half of the Navy game to Back, ,eld Coach Al Mccoy who 'hounded me all through the game to put him in just to kick" Mac. Kinney delivered three pinch punts that kept Harvard out of danger.
