TAMBRIDGE, MASS, Sept 90
I Upward of 100 men for the
Harvard varsity football team
are expected to present, themselves
TO Coach Percy d. Haughton on Sol
diers' Field tomorrow, when another
call for candidates for the 1918 eleven
is made. The men viii register, have
talk with Captain Storer and re-
ceive their instructions for the first
week Of practice.
Coach HaughtOn has kept in close
touch with the major portion of his
charges during the summer months,
advising them as to their work and
diet during the heated term. Asa re-
suit but few of the men will be much
out Of condition, while some of the
players have added few mach
needed pounds.
Starting Tuesday. there viii be two
practice sessions daily, one in the
morning and the other later in the
day. This schedule will last only one
week, as the university throws open
its gate officially on Monday, Sep

The Harvard problem this year APP
pears to be the same that has. con-
fronted the Crimson coaches during
the past half dozen years-the devel-
Opment of an efficient quarterback
With Gardner and Bradley. the two
men who faced Yale last November,
graduated, and with Lieutenant
Charley Days return as coach at
West Point, the Crimson authorities
have no mean job to turn out a man
capable of running such a high pow
cred football machine as the Haugh-
ton battering rams usually are.
Harry Gardner is pynpNtp1 IN ra-
turn and devote his time to develop
ing field general. His ability as a
coach is unknown. but he may prove
himself n real life saver in the critical
situation. Nal Logan, who proved
the worst kind Of a "fiivver" last fall
as a quarterback, will again go out
for the position. Eddie Nahan. cap
tain and halfback of the 1916 eleven,
will, because Of his lack of weight,
probably be tried out as quarterback
He should win the job handy down
his ability as a punter and place
kicker giving him big advantage
over his rivals.
The Harvard rush line. a distinctly
Haughton combination, should prove
at stalwaTt as it has in year past
DERRY Parmenter will be missing at
center. but viii return as line coach
stan PennOck and Walter Trum-
bull, guards, and Rex Hitchcock and
Captain Bob Storer, tackles, will
again be out for the places on the
team that won the 1912 champion
ship. Storer will probably yield his
Job at left tackle to Tudor Gardiner
who was forced to abandon football
temporarily by an injury received at
Princeton two years ago. The cap
tain, before Gardeners injury, was
working a center and a Is in this
position that he will probably be
found.
Harvards premier puntcr Sam
FELTON,, is lost at left end, while Frank
O'Brien remains in his position at
right end Lyman and Rollins, the
1912 ends, are both fast men.
The fastest backheld that ever
graced a Harvard gridiron loses one
of its members, Percy L. Wendell.
last seasons captain. If Charley
Brinkley and Tack Hardwick play
their game of 1912 during the pres
ent season Wendell's loss will not be
felt. F. J. Bradlee, Jr., is as capable
man as the eX-crimsOn leader and
would have probably taken away
Wendelrs position last fall but for
the fact thatethe RoXbury boy was
captain Of the eleven.

September 81. Maine at Cambridge;
October 4, Bates. at Cambridge;
October II, Williams at Cambridge;
