Capitain Gates was hurt in the M.I.T. game. Though veterans Dick Ames and Ted have been impressive, the attack has been inconsistent; the seven goals against M.I.T. were the most the Crimson a scored this season.

But Harvard has had excuses. The operation has been tough in the lacrosse- Baltimore area, the Crimson lost Baltimore University, to undefeated Maryland, and to Navy's defending national champions. In addition to the , inexperienced players in several positions have hindered the team.
