Harvard Will Stand Pat
Despite Loss to Purdue

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Oct. l. I'm
spite of the severe trouncing the
Harvard football team took from
Purdue, Coach Arnold Horween
stated today that no shake-up in the
lineup of the first eleven would take
place this week. According to pres
ent plans Horween expects to put his
men through two hard scrimmages
during the next three days in prepa-
ration for the Holy Cross game next
Saturday.
With one exception, the entire
Harvard squad came through the
Purdue tussel with nothing more sc.
rious than bruises. Arthur French,
fleet halfback, who won Harvard q
victory over Dartmouth last fall by
a 47-yard dash for a touchdown in
the closing seconds of tina game, may
have suffered internal injuries which
will keep him out of play for an in
definite period. The exact extent of
his injuries, which may, on the other
hand, lay him up for only day or
so, will not be known until he is
x-rayed and examined today.

Yale Shakeup Likely
Following Burning

NEW HAVEN, Conr.. Oct. L.
What is to be done to the Yale team,
following the defeat at the hands of
Georgia's well-drilled eleven, is open
to question today. but that some
radical changes will be made in the
lineup of the first team is taken for
granted.
Something went wrong at quarter
back against the Southern Bulldogs.
Yale had to use four men in the po-
sition, and still the selection of plays
was extremely bad at times. Hoben,
Switz, Bob Hall and loud, all the
quarterbacks on the first squad,
were sent into the game, but which
one will hold the position today in
practice has not been decided by the
coaches.
There were no injuries in Saturdays
hard-fought and exciting battle, and
consequently the entire squad will be
on hand for the first workout of the
week in preparation for the Brown
team, which lost to Penn

Golf hereabouts takes on an added

Just one stroke behind was Don Car

Advised that his title would not quail
