Harvard Hosts Yale in 87th Meeting

Jauron, a high school All-American from Swampscott High School, is the workhorse. He has carried 169 times this season for 885 yards; a big day today would make him the league's second 1000-yard rusher.

Martin is a shifty, powerful runner who makes it impossible for a defense to concentrate solely on Jauron. Bob Milligan, the wingback, sat out the Princeton game but is back at full speed.

Quarterback Massey is a good runner himself, and he may try the Crimson middle on a quarterback draw.

Harvard's defense is termed by Yale "the quickest in the Ivy League." That includes a Dartmouth team that decimated the Eli offense three weeks ago.

Linebacker-captain Gary Farneti and three other defensive regulars will be making their last starts for Harvard today, and as Farneti put it Thursday, "We'll be ready."

The defensive strength of the two teams is self-evident-the one which manages to generate even a little offense will probably win.

Crone will have to pass well against the Bulldogs' stingy secondary, or else he will be unable to spring the running game which hinges on fullback Tom Miller and halfback Ted DeMars.

The offensive line, which has come into its own in the past few weeks, is healthy but without experienced backup personnel.

The Crimson receiving corps-perhaps the league's finest-finally got its chance last week against Brown as Crone completed 14 of 18 passes for nearly 200 yards.

The kicking games of the two teams are similar: the Crimson's Richie Szaro and Yale's Harry Klebanoff are consistent and experienced place kickers, while Foster and Jim Nottingham are erratic, but sometimes brilliant, punters.

The emotional factor today is hard to predict, but it would seem to be as even as the teams themselves. The profusion of similarities is eerie, much as it was two years ago.
