HARVARD MATERIAL FOR NEXT SEASON
 LOOKS PROMISING

Cambridge, Dec 1-The chief problem of Harvard's 1916 football team is not the material but the coach. If Coach Haughton returns, he will have an abundance of good material to work with, said the Grim son yesterday, in summary of liar wards changes for next season. With 16 men from the squad graduating and only four regulars returning, there will be several new players on the eleven next fall. In all eight ':EI'' men return to college, but Harte, Bo1es, Dadmun and Gilman will be the only regulars from the 1915 team to fill their old positions; although Taylor was practically a regular, and of these Giana1 is the only man who versity training.
 The backf1eld will be the greatest problem. for the loss of Mahan, .WatA son and King will be greatly felt. w. F. Robinson, '1S, should prove competent in the quarterback posi- tion, as he has shown up exceedingly well as much as he has played this fall. ". J. Murray, IS; A. w. Gard ner, IS, and Murray Taylor, IS, frorl this years second team, will be de- pendab1e substitutes.
 Boles will return for one of the backfeld positions. The leading can dfdates for the other two positions
 
 IT,, IT; T. H. Enwright, IS, and T. C.. Thacher, IS, from the second team, and several backs of unusual promise from the 1919 eleven, H. c. Flower, E. l.. Casey, R. Bond and G. L. Batch elder. s
 and punter, although he lacks exper- fence. N1fnot is the nearest approach to Mahan in openfield work, and is strong and heavy. Wil1cox has been used at quarterback, but on account Eof his consistent weakness in han ding punts he will probably be tried at halfback. Enwright, captain of the 1918 freshman team, is power fuI man on both the offense and de- fense. Thacher was out of the game most of the past season, but he also played well on the 1918 team 8 Harte will return for the right end position, and. J. K. Desmond, who is lunc1assifled this year, and G. A. Cool 1 idge, Jr., TT, both experienced play CTS, will probably cover the other wing. Gilman, the most experienced man on the squad. will take his old position at. left tackle, . but he is the lon1y veteran tackle to return. G. C.. Gamer, TT, will be the leading candi- date for Parsons place on the oppo-' site side of the line, with w. Davis. l s18, and W. H. Wheeler, IS, who did not play this year, and B. Lancaster, s1S, or the second team close Qen1nO him. None of these men, however, l has had much experience.
 Taylor and Dadmun. both veterans \ from the past season, will be able to. take care of the guard positions, with D. Duncan. TT: P. Zach, ,19; w. Burr, ITS, and w. B. Snow, '1ss as strong substitutes. If Zach develops, as his work on the freshman eleven this fall 1 indicatedy he may be used as reg ular guard, and Taylor shifted to his old place at center. J. C. Harris, IT., I who won his fs.I1'' this year. and G. A.. Sagar, 1T, are also good centers. The l1919 team and this years second l squad will furnish a number of good substitutes for all the line positions.
 The forward line seems to be fairly we'll cared for.I To develop a back field equal to Capt. Mahan's will be somewhat more of a task. If the new. material produces strong running combination. a&punter who can rival Mahan is yet to be found. HorWeen, Esnwright.9 and Robinson is also an excellent drop-kicker; but none of them has the power. of the 1915 cap "a
