Frazee Objects to
Tuesday Opening
Of American League

New York, Nov. IAN eleventh
iCur change in the American League
schedule for 1923 impends if Harry
r. Frazee, owner of the Boston Red
Sox can make good on a promised
Protest against the opening Of the
season with the Yanks at the new
Yankee stadium Tuesday, April II.
France, who departed last night for
boston. said he had been informed
unoffiGally Of the opening date and
if the report were true, he intended to
complain vigorously against starting
the season on a Tuesday.
Frazee pointed out that Tuesday
opening meant his team would have
to leave New York Friday night,
thus allowing some other club to en-
joy the weekend gate receipts.
Never before has the league opened
on Tuesday, he said. He is pleased
with the assignment of the Boston
team for the first game in the Yanks'
new home but would like to have the
opening day fixed later in the week
so that his team could remain mere
over Saturday.

Brown Bears Believe
Can Give Harvard One
Stiff Old Grid Battle

Providence. Nov. 17-Brown fin
ished it's work for the Harvard game
in the stadium tomorrow with sig
nal drill this afternoon and q re-
hearsal of the plan of attack under
the direction Of Head Coach Robin
son in Lyman gymnasium tonight.
The whole squad is in good shape and
or its toes for a stout fight with
any team that Coach Fisher puts on
the field.
From tackle to tackle, 1t is be-
lieved here, Brown can match the
best forwards Harvard can muster,
and still have something to spare.
Capt. Man Gulian of Newton, Mass.
is quite in class by himself at right
tackle. He stood out against SYRIA
cuse; and against Lehigh and Yale
he was superb. John Spellman is a
similar tower Of strength on the
other side of the line. while the CEN
ter trio, Barrett or McDermott,
Sprague and Adolph Eckstein. has
played brilliantly in every game this
fall.
The ends have improved under the
Aastic coaching Of Reggie Brown,
but they are not yet up to the stand
ard of the rest Of the line. Johnny
tombstone. a converted tackle, and
Jim Sheldon. making his first ap-
pearance in a big game, are most
likely to be Robinson's first selec-
tions, with Schmults, Sayward and
Reynolds in reserve. Sheldon has
| been coming fast in the past week
and has crowded out Schmults, at
least temporarily.
Duffy Myers will open the attack
at quarterback. Fred Sweet and Ho-
mer Faulkner will be the halves, with
Bob Adams at full. Eisenberg and
Paul Higgins will understudy My
! ers. while the choice for substitute
backs lies among Ira Swaney. Car
| ter, Ferry, Paasche, Pohlman and
Payer. Swaney. the highest man on
the squad, and Payer. the freshman
| fash. are sure to get into the game
College classes will suspend tomor-
row at 1915 and the whole under
! graduate body, together with 5000
| other loyal supporters from Provi-
dence and neighborhood will accom-
| pany the Bears to Cambridge.
