TRIFLING MISTAKES FAIL TO DIM JOE FORECAST TRIUMPH

A fickle Tiger went wild and made a big killing on Saturday, the Army mule balked in more than mulish obstinacy, a Boston college back missed a crucial goal after touchdown, and three of Joe Forecast's predictions collapsed without a murmur. Such trifling disasters as these, however, hardly ruffled the calm surface of his self-satisfaction, for he had defied a legion of sport editors, the table of comparative scores and the whole city of Providence in picking Harvard to win, and by the margin of three points is his prediction justified.

Williams held Amherst to a surprisingly low score, on the basis of the forecast analysis, and the three complete upsets take some of the glory from the accurate Dartmouth-Chicago prognostication. Nothing, however, can dim the triumph of Joe Forecast's first attempt to guess a Harvard score. Harvard won, and Joe has saved his far-flung fame, his reputation, and his shirt.
