THE HARVARD ELEVEN.
PROCESS OF WEDDING OUT THE SQUAD TO
BEGIN TOMORROW.

Harvard's game with Williams Soldiers Field
Saturday afternoon fairly launched the Crimson
football team upon the season Of 1902 For ten
days the have been going through simple
formations and the most elementary detail work.
Now they ready to settle down to real business,
and from this time forth the coaches will carry on
their work with eye single to the development
of unified eleven.
To-day the first cut In the squad will be made,
giving it always does opportunity to
get a correct and closer view of the giants
who will represent the Crimson this year Taken
with the showing of the men in the game yester-
day. this cut practically window through which
the dim and hazy outlines Of eleven finally to
meet Yale can be discerned.
Dim and hazy? Yes. far the line is con-
cerned but regards the back field, Here
there is possibility of doubt. Marshall. Gray
don and Captain Herman all back from last
years championship eleven. and with only
place to fill from the big field of star candidates
Harvards back field is almost certain fact
Who will take Ristne's place at right half can
not of course, be told definitely at this season OF
the year. The selection of Leatherbee, however, to
sit with the first ten at the training table can al
most be taken as a significant fact, for 1t shows
that of all the back field candidates he is Captain
Kernan's present choice for the place. Leatherbee
captained his freshman eleven last year. and Is
powerful end runner and line 5ucker. He was the
of his nterscholastic league when he attended
Hopkinson, and he promises TO repeat his reputa-
ton in the collegiate world. Pushing him for hon
ors Sard. another star OF last years freshman
team, and Tenny. a big fellow who has shown up
promisingly so far. Knowles. Hodges and G. L.
Jones other prominent candidates for the place
In the line Harvard will have only two men
from last years team-Barnard. who played right
end, and Bowdftch. who earned place on the
An-American team by his splendid playing at right
end. This leaves four places 10 be filled. and the
coaches will have their hands full in selecting the
quartet.
For centre King at the present time seems to
be the most likely candidate not only on account of
his weight but because Of his aggresslveness. ac-
