CAMBRIDGE Mass. Sept. l6.--Head
Coach r. r. Fisher sees no cause for
worry over the football situation in the
Harvard camp. He admits there are
some positions on the team that appear
weak, but he Is leaving the solution OF
the situation to time and the Harvard
system OF coaching.
1--WE appear to have the material for
the making of representative Harvard
team" said Fisher to-day. Certainly
it looks as II we nave a good first string
forward lire. and in the backleld there
IS little to be desired. The situation at
end is not as bright as 1t should be and
to bring the necessary strengthening
material there a number of the players
will be shifted from other positions.
1--WE must dig up a heavy end, one
who car stand a lot OF hard work. We
must have alert. quick thinking wings.
We hope that at least two sets Will be
available when our plans are SUCCESS
fully worked out.
I'VE lack experienced substitute ma
terial for the rush line. There's the
rub. In Clark at center. Hubbard and
Grew at guards and Eastman and Kun
hardt at tackles the team seems to
have o smooth working, strong rush
developed. as very few of them have
had great deal OF experience.
''The spirit Is there as shown by the
first days attendance of 116 men. II
II the best record ever made here and
we certainly should get a team out cf
