MACKINNEY'S LEG INJURY MINOR ONE; BEST FORWARD WALL IN MANY YEARS

CHANGE FROM 'T' FORMATION WINS

most exclusively last year, Evidently Dartmouth's mentor, De Ormand McLaughry, had failed to warn his Indian eleven about what to do in this emergency, for the defenses didn't shift accordingly.

This failure to shift defenses gave the Crimson a decisive advantage in that blocks on the secondary might be thrown from a better angle.

On the first play of the final period Sophomore Bill Wilson took the ball and, with the single wing clicking to perfection, crashed down from the 13-yard stripe to the three, where the Dartmouth backs finally nailed him.

The next play was almost identical with Lee carrying over the other tackle and squeaking his way across for the glory points. The tribute to coaching and quarterbacking in all of this shifting of offenses is that it caught the Indians completely off guard.

If the Harvard backs had kept the "T," the Big Green defenses would have been prepared and the touchdown drive might have been squelched like the all too many attempts which preceded it.

Although the appearance of Bill Wilson, the speedy Sophomore tailback who started a Varsity game for the first time Saturday, came as a surprise to most of the spectators, it was far from unexpected to the sports writers who had witnessed practices all week in which Captain "Morpheus" Lee was running from his old wingback post.
