CAMBRIDGE, oct. lin spite
OF tho fact that Harvard has no
Casey or Mahan this year, there IS
everY reason 10 prophecy at least
an average team. There Is wealth
OF excellent backfield material. OF
whom perhaps the most outstanding
star is George Owen, 80, good line
plunger and heady and speedy
open field runner. In addition Ros-
coe Fits and Winnie Churchill are
two of the fastest and most capable
OF the b6ckfleid men, those who
saw the games last season will re
member many "A stellar run by both
OF these players.N Mitchell Grat-
wick is the last bf this quartet OF
letter men upon whom much viii
depend throughout the season, and
is a dependable line plunger. Other
experienced men available are VIM
ton Chaplin and Francis Rouillard,
both Of whom are fairly fast and
reliable,
Two From Freshmen.
From Last years. frcsh r;iT1 team,
Erwin Gherke and Carl Pfaffman
are the most promising candidates.
particularly Gherke. who has some
kicking ability. Lou Gordon and
Percy Jenkins have also shown up
well in early practice and may be
expected to develop into valuable
members Of the backficld group.
Two quarterbacks who won let
ters last year are Buell. and john
son. Buell. Is undoubtedly first
string man because he not only is
a good field general but also has
unusual drop-kicking ahility--be
scored two in the game against Yale
at New Haven In 1920. johnson

last year and has the confidence
Of the team Conlon, the third Of
the first squad quarterbacks is not
as experienced as the other two,
and is also rather light but his
berth as third string quarter is
practically assured
The material for the llne Is not
as heavy in the aggregate M that
which was on hand last year. The
most outstanding players are Cant.
Keith Kane and Jack Crockcr, who
will take care OF the end positions,
Kane played az tackle last year and
II Is possible that he may get back
to his former position. Clark Ma
cofnber is third IL man who
plays at end and has shown IN well
winning pass In the game against
the Tigers last season. At tackle
Benoni Lockwood Is the most eN-
pcrienced. but With Kane at end
there are no letter men available.
Budd I.add junior, with Charles
Hubbard brother Of last year s

Art Hobson and Dan Holder make
up the quota for tackle. Of these all
hut Ladd were members OF the 1924
freshman eleven.
Two Good Guards.
Fiskc Brown and Wesley Brooke
"A Phi Beta Kappa man--are the
two mainstays Of tho guard posi-

game the previous season Grew and

eleven, and Solf. Junior have the
size but are short on experience, al

From this brief summary Il Is
