| CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Sept. 13.-Har.
wards football squad Is hard at work
under Bob Fisher, the new head coach
Fisher, who captained the eleven In
1911, has hard task ahead. There has
been no varsity football at Cambridge
for three years and only a scattering OF
seasoned or experienced material ID
available. The squad of backs shapes
| up well, however, and the head coach
believes that the timber for the rush
line will measure up we'll In size and
| can be developed into a strong eleven in
| the long eleven weeks season that Is
ahead.
! For coaches Fisher has surrounded
himself with former players of the
Haughton school of football. all of his
! assistants having played on Harvard
teams since Fisher himself was a var
| sity man..
| For his rushline Fisher will have
wallle Trumbull, lineman and acting
captain when Brickley's team played
against Yale in 1914 Derrick Parmen-
ter, former centre rush Bill Snow, guard
In 1905 and who would have been Har-
wards captain two years ago, and
/ Charley Coolidge, one Of the best end
rushers Harvard has had. Dick Wig
ellsworth, quarter in 1910; Harry Gard

| great eleven of 1915, will be the back
field coaches, and Sam Felton, Harvard s
punter Of Coach Fishers time. will be
In charge of the kicking department.
Tack" Hardwick, Harvard's famous
end and halfback, also will be on the
staff.
| Old Coaches Helping.
| The Harvard coach also has enlisted
| the advisory services Of several OF the
older coaches. who, although they will
appear on the field very seldom, are
strong behind Fisher as he picks up the
work to put the Cambridge football sys-
tenn on pre-war basis. This work will
have to start at the very beginning, as
every bit of the material must be sized
up and past playing experience will not
be taken at a very high value.
Harvard is fortunate, however. in
having a handful of players who were
with the varsity team back in 1916, and
two also were members of the 1915
squad. These two men are Ralph Hor-
ween, heavy backfield man and a first
class punter and Billy Murray, who has
had two years of varsity quarterback
play and with Horween took part in
| Harvard's last game against Yale at
New Haven.
| Eddie Casey, a fast halfback and who
was fast following in the footsteps of
| Ed Mahan, was a regular in 1916. He
also is in the squad of halfbacks this
year as are Phinney, an end rush, and
Babe" FELTON,, brother of Sam FELTON,,
who also is expected to be a punting as
| set
The backfield men who have been out
| for two~weeks have shaped up well for
size. and among them probably will be
| found the markings for middle lineman
or two and possibly some ends. Stan
ley Burnham, who played three years
| ago, is promising. but it is very doubtful
whether George Batchelder, who looked
good in 1915, will be available He in
jured his knee last spring when rowing,
and although he is a splendid physical
| type for end or back. the coaches will
not bank on having him at least at pres
| ent.
Among the quarterbacks is Arthur
| Conlon, who made a fine showing at
| Exeter and was quarter on last falls
s. A. T. C. outfit that "Pooch" Donovan
coached at Cambridge. Ben Zimmerman
of the same team and who has the MAX
ing of good kicker. is out again and
already the coaches have their eyes on a
well knit back. Arthur Hamilton, who
looks like coming line breaker
A back who looked good several years
ago as a freshman is Dick Humphrey
and another is, Arnold Horween. captain
Of the informal team of two seasons ago.
