Harvard's running attack, which caused so much anxiety by its absence in the Bates game, got under way at full speed on the lush turf of the Stadium on Saturday afternoon and swept New Hampshire off its feet to the tune of a 34-0 shutout.
The fleet Crimson backs, Lane, Locke, Adzigian, and Pescosolido ran wild through the visitors' defense and restored cheer to the coach's heart by chalking up a total of 470 yards gained from the scrimmage. Passes figured only slightly in the game for Coach Casey was determined to check up on his groundwork. Five aerials were attempted and none completed. A spectacular spinner play put in its appearance, or rather, attracted unusual attention by reason of its effectiveness, and Harvard managed to rip open the Wildcats' line for long gains on this bit of deception.
All of the injured should be back at work this week, although it is not certain whether Schumann or Sherman will see much action. Healey, Kelly, and Moseley will be in there to fight for their old positions. It is unfortunate that Kelly will have to be broken in against such tackles and ends as Holy Cross will send into the Stadium. Crusader tackles are always tough, and with the newcomer pitted against Buzz Harvey, there should be feathers flying.
One of the most impressive performances of the Saturday tilt was the punting of Captain Dean.
The summary: Score--Harvard 34, New Hampshire 0. Touchdowns--Dean, Lane, Adzigian, Locke, Barrett. Points after touchdown--Wells, Dean, Nevin, Whitney Referee, E. J. O'Brien, Tufts; Umpire, A. R. Lake, Lafayette; linesman, F. W. Lewis, Salem; field judge, A. R. Ayer, Colby. Time, three 15-minute and one 9-minute periods.
