time on their plays and in signal drill.
Prior 10 the easy scrimmage against the
substitutes the regulars ran through all
their formations. being closely. watched
by the head coach.
Reggie Brown, who follows Yale's prog
ress each year for Harvard was on the
field and saw the plays which will be used
by Harvard next week against the New
Haven team The scrimmage against the
substitutes lasted half hour. the varsity
play being slow but careful and the players
not mixing il up very hard. There was
also lot of coaching for the individuals.
Two changes for Saturdays game against
Dartmouth were announced to-day. The
first is that O'Brien will play right end
again instead Of FELTON,. The latter is ali
right and his kicking is as good as 1t was
before he was hurt in the Brown game but
he will not he used against Dartmouth He
may he needed in Saturdays match. but
not so much as against Yale next week
Feltons work at end has been very fast
and he is speedier than before he was hurt
the layoff having put him up on his toes
His coming back to form is the first bit OF
real good fortune that Harvard has had
lately.
The other change concerns the backfeld
Reynolds will not play left halfback on
Saturday He is down little fine in con-
dition. while Campbell. who started the
Princeton game. is now ready 70 play
hard football again. Campbell will play
against Dartmouth and will do the kicking
should he be unable TO stay in the game
Pierce will so 10 left halfback and con-
tlnue the kicking just as he did at Prince
ton Neither Of these men is as good
punter as BlackalL
Both Gardner and Freedley were at quar-
terback to-day. but the general backfeld
work continued loose. Storer at right
tackle is very encouraging. and his play
against Dartmouth will be watched care
fully. Parmenter also is doing very well
at centre. Both Of these players although
not heavy, neither weighing more than l6
pounds. are strong and hard lighters. Inc
entire rush line, in fact, Is expected 10
make up in its aggressiveness against
Dartmouth what it lacks in varsity ex-
perience.
