"Do Up" Players Of che CAMBRIDGE Teaua'
In spite Of Coach Forbes's efforts TO prevent
'inslde' facts about the Harvard team from
reaching the outer world, IL 10 currently re-
ported that he has decided to play Percy
Haughton at full back. Those who saw Haugh-
ton play at West Point I'D in other games were
impressed with the fact that beyond an ability
70 punt fairly well he did not rank rs q first
class player. Coach Forbes admits, It 10 said.
that Haughton cannot catch q kicked ball and 10
not o good ground gamer. but he believes that
Harvard must have q full back who can return
McBride's punts, for Warren, who has been
playing full back for the Crimsons, Is o poor
kicker, although in other respects he Is greatly
superior to Haughton. Whether this change
will work we'll remains TO DO seen, but there
arc many graduates who do not regard it with
favor. As THE SUN pointed out some time
ego, Il has beon practically decided by Forbes
and the other coaches not TO play Frank Shaw

and all out of shape. From present indica.

quarter back instead of Cochrane. and Sawin
will play right half back In place Of Sullivan.
Tho other places will DO filed by Cabot, Swain,
Bouv6, Doucette, Donald. Moulton. and Dib-
tleo. These few changes at the last moment
are not thought to be injurious, as all of the
men have boon in constant training for the
places. The Yale eleven, however, was definite

report to the effect that the Yale players will
deliberately attempt to do up Cabot, Dibblee
and one or two other Harvard players when the
game begins on Saturday. How anybody can
put faith in such yarns is beyond comprchcn-
sion. With the unpleasant incidents in the
Harvard Yale game at Springfield in 1894 in
mind, It 10 absurd to insinuate that either team
would indulge In precisely the same tactics
which brought about the breach between the
colleges, 30 hard to heal up. There is the best

teams have gone, and the players arc taking
good care to keep the game out Of the mire.
