New-York tribune., 1921-11-17

tonight for the Harvard game on
that no change from the playing o
week was intended.
The coaches had hoped that Ted
Blair would fully recover from the in
iured shoulder which kept him on the
sidelines Saturday, but the member is
still a trife lame, and he will be with
held for only reserve duty in the
Cambridge Stadium. The compete re-
covery Of Nat Guernsey from the
slight sprain which he sustained in the
Princeton game has made it certain
that he can start line smashing against
the Crimson and play most Of the
GAM n Cambridge. Harry C. Ross,
who got into the matches last year
as both guard and center. will replace
hin or Cruikshank in the second half.
Most * the gains which Princeton
made w.re apparently between Ian
dis. centr and Cruikshank, left
guard. If harvard strikes ground
gaining rally at any spot which af-
fects the Yale center trio, Cross, who
weighs 221 pounds and is whale on
the defense, will be rushed into the
lineup for rescue duty.
Yale expects Harvard to aim its at
tack at the center of the line, and is
prepared for that emergency, not only
with the same trio which has played
together all the fall and developed a
consistent, compact defensive team
game, but with remarkable reserve
trio in the persons Of Al Norris, Cross
and Herbert Herr.
Started as Regulars
Norris started the season as regular
center, and but for liability to re-
peated injury would be found in the
pivot place to-day. Herr was the most
reliable guard of the Yale freshmen
serve last season. He was injured early
this fall and has returned to the line
up only fortnight ago.
The coaches decided after the
Princeton game that Justin Sturm had
easily won permanent occupancy of
right end Danny Deaver may not even
get an opportunity to replace him. be-
cause Sturm's endurance, as exhibited
in the Princeton game, is likely to
keep him in the lineup throughout
Saturdays bout.
The lineup as gridironed against
Princeton and selected for Harvard
ran through an hours signal rehearsal
to- day in the Bowl, with the exception
that Emerson Quaile replaced Jack
Diller at right tackle. The coaches
insist that Diller is in the best play
ing form, but was somewhat exhausted
after the Princeton game. and they
desired to rest him until he faces Har-
ward. If they succeed as we'll as they
did in the case Of Charlie O'Hearn,

tion, but who played the entire bout

cial attention to the second team, most
for a short time against Harvard.
Oed Substitute Kicker
The substitute backfeld will include
George Beckett. quarterback; Newell
Neidlinger. left halfback; Jack Speiden,
Ted Wight at fullback. In case sub
stitute drop kicker is needed, Oed will
be rushed from the sidelines. He has a
long record of field goal lifting both at
Dean Academy and with the Yale fresh
men. Neidlinger was, with Harry
Cross, the only reserve player to get
into the Princeton game. He practi.
cally saved Yale from a tie score by
falling on touchdown after RalnE
Gilroy had dropped "Snooks" Snively's
long forward pass in the last four min.

bruised at that time, and has moi
scrimmaged since then.
