Harvard Men Busy.
This has been a busy week on Sol
diers' Field where Head Coach
Wrightlington is trying TO pick a team
from one of the largest squads which
has ever reported a Harvard. Forty
two men reported for work.
Only three varsity players put i'm
an appearance. They were Capt. Hur-
lbNs ltibg anu MOlllBpintfN. Asctil
Marshall, the former quarterback. and
Andy Marshall, guard. acted as assist
ant coaches. Tt looks now as if the
quarterback position will be hard 10
fill. "Scotty" McMasters has returned
from his native heath and took charge
of the physical condition of the squad.
The most notable of the new men
to report are Fisher Newsmith,
Junior, who was one Of the promising
candidates for halfback last year, and
who played for the greater part of the
year on the second team. and Hugh
Herman, who played second base ON
the baseball team last spring. Ker-
nan is out for quarterback. and from
his work ought 10 be a strong candl-
date for the position.
Columbia is one of the big six which
already has begun to play ball. She
showed good form IN her game with
Union. and Coach Morley is confident
he viii have team which viii make
any in the country show cause before
they are beaten. Particular interest
attaches TO Columbia this year from
the fact that she is to play Michigan.
