Special Correspondence
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 1S.-What
probably will be Harvard's last hard
workout of the year was staged this
afternoon. Sparing the players from
roughing in the scrimmage plays. Head
Coach Fisher and his assistants sent
the first and second string players
along at fast clip in the final drive
for the Yale game.
The varsity and the first team Of
substitutes both were engaged against
the scrubr. No scoring was attempted,
hn. the drill continued on lines de-
s ned 10 improve team play and to
whip the varsity linemen and backs
into 81 frame of mind to size up what
ever attack Yale offers when Al Sharpe
brings his men TO Cambridge on Sat-
urday.
Fisher, who is more amused than
piqued at the stories that he has sent
out call for help from the older
coaches. is not letting up in his quest
players and coaches whose judgment
he respects. Before the days work
for the big team began Fisher took all
/ the varsity players up into the sta
dunn seats, and the men who will play
against Yale sat and watched stub
born clash between the two scrub teams,
which fought against each other with
Yale formations and plays.
X. Horween in Signal Drill
Harvard to-day had the satisfaction
of seeing two much-needed players
back on the field and in trim to start
playing again. Yesterday Ralph Hor-
wecn did some drop-kicking, but this
afternoon he went back to his place in
the backfield for part Of the varsity
signal drill
Horween's shoulder is still far fror,
right, but it has been stated by the
trainer that he will be available in the
Yale game. 1t is questionable whether
Ralph will be the man picked to start
in the backfield with Casey and
Humphrey, as the coaches seem to have
made up their minds that Arnold Hor-
ween viii be in the game when Har-
ward gets under way.
Ralph Horween was in the scrim-
mage for a time also, but care was
taken not TO bump him.
The Crimson's regular right end
Desnn onc, also put in an appearance in
molcskins. He has not done any work
ncn nlaving in the Princeton game
and still limps. He has not been alb tc
/ keep in condition since the Tiger match
and is not likely to get back into tho
shape he was in when he started
against the Jersey men. Desmond
reeded work at that time. but he go.
Il, ore than his share of it, and the re-
suit has been that he has been restng
! ever since, and not altogether because
Of his lanleness.
Phinney Again at Right End
Desn ond's substitute, Phinney. was
again in the varsity lineup this after
noon. Ph.nney was playing good foot
ball when he was hurt, more than 8
month ago, and while at first he was
slow in getting back into the swing Of
I things he has been making fine prog
ress recently. Phinnev has not Des-
monds aggressiveness, but he is a good
end and Harvard will not worry on his
account.
Havemeyer is another player who ap-
0arently is coming up TO the mar. as
the hour Tor the Yale game approaches
He has been drilling hard on forward
been progressing to the satisfaction OF
Dick Parmenter, who he's promised
Harvard three centers for the big
game.
Humphrey is certain to start in the
back field, with Casey and probabl y
A. Horween. He has had plenty OF
work on forward pass defense also.
The varsity lineup has not been an
nounced yet by Fisher and it will moi
ter line on Ralph Horween and Des.
mond. The other nine men on the
team are picked, and all OF them start
ed the game at Princeton. The new
corners will be either Fhinncy or A
Horween, or both.
