Now that Harvard has developed a football team which can gain more yards rushing and make more first downs than the powerful Navy team, Crimson chances to earn the title of Big Three champion appear brighter than they have for many years.

Although Harvard may not be favored on paper in view of comparative scores, there is no reason to take a Blue victory for granted.
It seems that all the Harvard team needs is an even share of the breaks of the game in order to become a consistent winner. Five offensive thrusts carried the Crimson past the Middies' fifteen-yard line, in spite of the superb Navy pass defense, with a varied attack which can produce these results, Harvard's team should be granted an even chance to defeat the Elis. This is in itself a matter for rejoicing, and Coach Harlow deserves universal respect for successfully altering the future augured by the disastrous Army and Dartmouth weekends.
