"Beaten but unbowed" still stands as a pretty good ten cent description of Dick Harlow's inexperienced football team. For the fourth weekend out of the last five the Crimson eleven took the field on Saturday against definitely superior physical strength and gave the visitors all they could ask for in the way of close, hard football.

This time the guests were the highly-rated West Point Cadets. Lost any of the local followers suffer from Monday morning blues, Earl Blaik, former coach at Dartmouth, has put together a big, strong, well-balanced ball club.

Army Precise

As a matter of fact, the boys from the Hudson represented a typical Blaik-coached eleven, exhibiting with disconcerting precision the sound fundamental brand of football that has given the resourceful Mr. Blaik the reputation of being one of the game's best strategists.

Hammering Hank Mazur, heretofore the Army's chief striking force, wasn't given too much of an opportunity to display his All-American wares, but his potential ability kept the Crimson defense in a bad state of nerves all afternoon. Five years ago Hustling Henry matriculated at nearby Boston College and would have become one of the Heights' legendary Sugar Bowl seniors had he not received a call to West Point. More than a few tears were shed by the then-Eagle boss, Frank Leahy, over his departed star.

Flynn Absent

Offensively, the home eleven had less success than in any contest to date. Five good reasons for the apparent difficulty took the form of Army's rugged, hard-charging five-man line, which bottled up the Crimson ground attack all afternoon. A sixth was the absence (except for three plays) of Freshman Leo Flynn, whose shifty sidestepping provides the Harlow attack with a much-needed shot in the arm.

On the defense, orchids for its afternoon's work go to the right side of the Harvard forward wall, which was, as a group, getting a taste of something different, and not under the most favorable conditions. After watching the game from a right tackle slot for two years, right guard Russ Stannard picked up his new job in less than a week and contributed a large share in halting the Cadets during the final half.

Garland Improves

Bill Fisher and Steve Mallett together took over Stannards old job and justified Coach Harlow's confidence in their ability to fill the gap. Sophomore right end Pete Garland redeemed himself after a difficult opening performance against mighty Penn three weeks ago. At that time the 200 pound weight star got lost in the intricacies of a specially concocted Harlow defense during the early part of the ball game and didn't get things straightened out until the Quakers had salted the contest away.

Army's first-half stabs through the middle of the Crimson first line of defense can be chalked up mostly to the difficulty which guards Hibbard and Stannard and quarterback Waters--who was getting his first dose of intercollegiate football--had in adjusting to their new locations. Once the newness had worn off and a few variations were thrown into the straight five-man line used during most of the first half, the powerful Cadet ground attack was slowed down to an easy shuffle.
