Crimson Must Pay
Strict Attention
To Its Rush Line

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept 9Har-
ward starts preparation for another
football campaign next Tuesday after
noon on Soldiers Field. This is the
fourth year for Robert T. Fisher as
Harvard's head coach. More than 100
candidates are expected to report the
opening day, with others to come dur
ing the next week. Captain Charles
G. Buell. and Manager Edwin S. Web
ster have spent the last week in Cam
bridge making ready for the initial
session as well as the early season
program.
Harvard's rush line loses heavily
by graduation, while the backfield is
practically untouched. N. W. "Esky"
Clark at center and Charley Hubbard
at right guard, are the only regular
linemen who will return to college.
Of the twenty-four players who took
part in the Yale game, half that num-
Der are through as undergraduates.
The loss of Al Ladd, the crew captain,
first string substitute for Captain
Kane of last years eleven, and Dan
Holder, who occupied the same position
TO Clark in the Yale game, who are
on probation, leave only H. S. "Tubhy"
Grew. guard, and Joe Hartley, ends
as relics of the Crimson rushline in
it's annual battle with Yale.
Captain Buell. at quarterback, George
Owen, Roscoe Fits and Phil Coburn,
who started the melee against the
Blue, are all available this fall. Pitts
figured that being benedick might
cause him to drop out of college, but
has. decided to join Clark, the other
husband on the squad.
Vinton Chaplin and Winnie Churchill
who paQHa thai,. 1o+t ,he will
be ready for business again. Mitch
Gratwick, Fred Hovey, Don Angler,
Jewett Johnson and Arthur j. "Jackos
Conlor are the Crimson backs who
have left the gridiron for the bust
ness world.
Coach Fisher must deal with mex
perienced material for his rush line,
and there Int much weight in the
squad, although three or foEr of the
men are built heavy enough to meet
the Crimsor's needs in the line. At
center and on the wings real problems
are presented. Tackle, too, should
given the big mentor considerable
bother until the candidates there
gather the necessary experience
A list of the most promising candi-
dates is as follows.
