CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Oct 15.-There will

Harvard players will get more strenu-
Gus workouts than they did in the sta
dunn to-day. With every coach acting
as pep" producer, the varsity line, with
the substitute backs scrmmaging against
the sub forwards with the first string
backfield men, went at each other ham,
mer and tongs. The play was the hardl
est of the season and the battle waged
from one end Of The field to the other.
No scores were produced.
The varsity linemen carried the subs
back TO the twenty yard line twice.

a substitution, played against the scrubs.

all in and did not make much of p
