line, accordingly to present plans.
This afternoon Coach Jack Gates

long signil grid. Tomorrow the team
will take things easy although there
will be long signil drill, its the final

when the Crimson aggregation meets
"Bo" McMillans Geneva College play
ers on Soldiers Field
The new western coaching staff, I'M
der the direction OF Arnold Horween,
has practiced the Harvard squad many
long hours in shaping the team that
will be sent onto the gridiron in an
attempt to push the Crimson's football
star back into the pigskin constella-
ton.
-Four scrimmages have been held
since practice started and each day
found the sessions cloaked in deepest
secrecy so that the would-be football
prophets had little to null over other
than the authorized reports.
The lineup is still in roubt, but from
center to tackles the team is above
average. The ends fall below normal
and the work of the backfeld cannot
be estimated, as positions there are
even more indefinite than those on the
line.

who single-handed saved the Crimson

ponds upon the results Of this test.
Should he and Turner fail, the team
would suffer a severe setback and
carry through the season under a dis
