Of tne e,,iiI onposp the Crimson's varsity
@ ,,am in the Stadium tomorrow.
'TTh Tho Harvard coaches, however, are
,,.iinsd to figure that the buckeyes are
n"t likely to present front strong
nUo .n.Uougb TO endanger Bob FISHERS team
~ ony great degree. and It seems the
,olicy Of the Cambridge mentors to go
iSSsd with the game and take chances
Ian the experimental lineup on when
much work has been done this week.
pTSo S frst OF the season double header

.s,uyed Ivy TO provide the coaches with an
.,.slIent line on their material.
Tho games showed them that the
.1Llssothe "belly of football team"
n'Ts "a Rspt Waters always said--were not
y. men on whom to rely for the sea-
sons work
Lockwood Not Impressive
lockwood Is fast, but has not been
| h,nrsssiye, and Henry and Hobson, the
Essbmen tackles Of last year, while they
sysntually will be good, are not yet the
rsn on whom to rely for highest grade

Snllege J the elevens which will come to
Ssmbridge before Bob Fishers team
nIays lis annual match with the Tigers
down at Princeton. :,
Il looks as IL Lockwood will be held
ant With the others while Tierney, sub
M ssnter last year, gets thorough try
Inc ont at tackle where he formerly
nlsved, The big change, however, since
the coaches meeting following the Holy
Cross game has been the transfer of
| Cantain Kane, former left end, to tackle
an the same side Of the line.
Kane has played tackle before, but
Sas shifted to end because, In the closer
line, he played himself to the limit
sarly and was not due for full-game
service. This year, however, Kane Is
heavier and Is also stronger. He Is
NOT natural end rush, but so far this
season has done splendid offensive work
IN helping box the opposing tackle, and
be Is surely adept in keeping linemer
out Of the play.

| Macomber, who was the hero of the
Princeton game last fall, will be consid
cred the regular man for one of the
| ends-with Crocker. Macomber has
been bothered by a sore foot. but Is
now all right. Handling forward passes
has been his main asset, but with Soucy
and Leo Leary to coach him and with
seven weeks head. It should be possible
10 round him out ms most capable
varsity end rush and for every game
work as a regular.
Grew Shows Well
Grew. of the freshmen last fall, con
tnues to keep in the running for guart
with Brown. and it is going to be hare
for Brocker, one of the 1920 subs, t.
sertakp the first year varsity man. whC
Is one of the heaviest of the Crimson
forwards and naturally one of the mos
aggressive.
The placing of Roscoe Fits at enc
Is a new idea. Fits Is good on clos,
defense. and even IL he plays end, will
still be available for punting. Th,
shift has been made possible by th'
return Of Gchrke for play, Gehrke hav'
Ing remarkable possibilities for high ant
low punting.
All the shifts, which also INCLUDE
providing Gratwick a chance to worl
with the varsity backfield are beinl
made with the idea to have the bes
eleven football players on the first strin,
team by the time of the Yale game a
Cambridge on November 10.
There will be more shifts. but tn,
present combination of Crocker ant
Fits ends, Tierney and Kane tackles
Brown and Grew guards, Bradford cen
ter, Buell. quarter and Owen. Gehrk
and Chaplin for running backs looks al
together like the best that has beel
tried.
