CRIMSON WARRIORS OUT.
Squad of Thirty Men Begin Spring
 Practice in Mud.

Cambridge, Mass, April 25-Har- wards spring football practice began in the mud and storm on Soldiers field yesterday, Field Coach Leo H. Leary being in charge of about thirty players, among whom Captain-elect Dadmun and c. Coolidge, one of the 1915 end rushers, were the only varsity letter veterans. The squad will be split into two teams at once, Dadmun being in charge of one and Coolidge of the other.
 A new plan of training this year will send the teams into real scrin- maging before the end of the first weeks work and the football drill will continue until warm weather comes. Yesterday the older timber was diveded to form a nucleus for each of the two teams that will work out the new plays and formations which the coaches already have se lected. Among the men on Dad nuns team will be Gardner, ouar- terback Thacher, halfback; Brown. end, and Day, center. On Collidge's team the foundation will be Sager, center; Duncan, guard; Desmond, tackle, and Taylor. quarterback.
 All of these players were out last year, Desmond being a former Le- high player, who is expected to make regular place on the varsity team next fall. Field Coach Leary will be assisted by some backfield and kick ing coaches a little later, while Strat- egy Man Reggie Brown will work with the squad as soon as the men begin regular football play.

The coaches have a month in which to prepare the crew for it's annual race against Cornell, but before the men settle down there are sure to be several shifts and changes in the first crew.
 This week will be devoted to ex- perimenting. The first and second crewsF have been so evenly matched that Coach Herrick is anxious to get the best eight men into the varsity shell and also to make such shVts as will trim }the boat better than it was trimmed at Princeton.
 Against the Tigers the bow four were seventeen pounds heavier than the four men aft. and it is thought that this arrangement handicapped the crew on Carnegie Lake. It prob ably will be several days before tho final arrangement is settled and not before Friday will the makeup be
