PEABODY STARS IN 23-7 WIN; MORGAN O.K. FOR YALE GAME

Seldom does a lineman get credit for winning a football game--but the wreath for Saturday's crushing 23 to 7 win over Brown can be placed securely around the neck of Chub Peabody, who beyond a doubt satisfied his claim for All-America honors and a place beside the Hardwicks, Woods, and Ticknors among the Crimson football immortals.

In addition to Peabody's showing, the greatest of individual performances, the contest Saturday proved to be a team victory that hoisted the present Harvard eleven onto a level with the powerful 1931 team that ploughed through Army, Texas, Holy Cross, Dartmouth, and a trio of breathers, losing only to Yale 3 to 0 on a field goal by Albie Booth.

Coach Harlow hopes that loss to the Elis will not be symbolical, as he heads into the final week of football practice with a team pregnant with reserve strength and devoid of injuries.

Never before in recent grid history has a Crimson mentor gone into the week of the Yale game confronted with the situation now staring Dick Harlow square in the face. His team, according to Dr. Thorndike's report yesterday morning, is almost in perfect physical condition.

Jack Morgan's injured arm is perfectly all right, according to Dr. Thorndike's Sunday morning communique from Dillon and the rest of the team evidently survived the game with nothing more than "the routine bumps and bruises." When Morgan was led off the field after catching a high pass from Don McNicol, it was believed at first that his injury might be serious, but the doctors report that he will definitely be able to play against the Elis.

As a result of Saturday's rout, largely engineered by the reserves who kept the Bruins bottled in their own territory throughout most of the second half, Harlow has a man-sized problem on his hands--what the starting lineup will be against the Elis.

Until Saturday, Harlow had a close-knit starting team that had been practically the same for every game since Cornell. On the basis of their showing against Skip Stahley's squad, three men, Burgy Ayres, Greely Summers, and Jack Morgan, may unexpectedly be in for the opening whistle in the coming classic.

Burgy Ayres, who, according to Harlow, has been coming like a house afire during the past few weeks, subbed for Johnny Page at center and did so well that Harlow kept him in the game for 36 minutes. Page played only 19 minutes, although he started the game.

Auother dog-fight for the starting honors against the Elis is evident after Saturday at the tailback spot where Bill Wilson has been stationed for the last five games. Greely Summers did most against the Bruins, playing 32 minutes compared to Wilson's 25, and handling himself capably both on offense and defense.
