New York, Nov.--Rlchard Cres- son Harlow proudly says no team was ever closer to his heart than the 304i Harvard varsity.
 Tt had team guts," emphasizes Dick Harlow.
 Harvard climbed of the floor aft. Br two disheartening early defeats :. kept getting up to be just about the finest combination in the East At the final gun.
 Oddly enough, the Crimson got there without a capable tailback.
 Ask any coach which position he would prefer filled to order and he'll tell you the tailback spot.
 One of the strongest lines in his- tory wept Harvard to the heights.
 Because, lacking a competent tail- back, the Johnnies' strong side of- fefise wasn't what 1t might have been, tlRe enemy under-shifted bol- stering its weak side ct the expense of the other.
 This was precisely opposite the type of defense Michigan faced a year ago, when the lack of @ Grade 4 wingback permitted the opposi- lion to overshift greatly on the strong side. A first class wingback would have given the Wolverines a threat on reverses to the weak side. Opponents would have had to set ID normal defenses, and that would have increased Tom Harmon's run ping threat tremendously.
 That's why I know Harmon was an amazing back" stresses Coach Harlow. "He ran all over the place anyway"
 Harlow will talk of nEdicott Pea body II for years, insists he never saw 6 guard who could crack a Sacker-up like Chub of Groton, who ypent the night before the ale game aa the hospital and played with two severe charley horses.
 Harlow considers the 306-pound Vernon Miller the most remarkable athlete he ever coached.
 Miller, of whom they once made Asan because of his bulk, played end, tackle and guard in one game.
 Harlow, like all coaches, has his men weigh before and after work outs and games. It enables him to keep track of their physical condi- ton and is a disciplinary measure.
 "A boy neglecting to weigh for Che chart is likely to be lax about something else" he pints out.
 Early in practice, Miller asked the

New York, Nov. 2e- -(UP)-Autumn is the lovely season of the year when the leaves turn red and gold, college football players start caSi- ing their pay cheeks and the Cleve- land Indians get q new manager.
 Once more all those things have happened. Yesterday the word came out of Cleveland that Roger Peckinpaugh had been booted up- stairs into vice presidency, leav- ing the position of manager poem again. Opponent knoweth not whether Peckinpaugh got 8 new nesk along with his new job, but if 50 he Is going to be plenty busy for Q month cleaning out the old one. Those empty aspirin boxes are tough to get rid of.
 As you know, the Indians start almost every season with 8 great mechanical ball team, boastIng the best pitcher in the game, and still manage to lose the pennant. Some- times they lose 1t early and some- times they wait until September, but they always lose 1t. Oscar Witt, who had whirl at managing them, is 8 good baseball man. So Is Peck inpaugh. The trouble is that they were struggling by themselves to do a job that really calls for a board of three. How can one man direct the team on the field, supervise trades and patrol the front office to keep the players from running there each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday?
 Four Managers
 Since Lou Boudreau, 24-year-oid regular shortstop for two and a half seasons, has been given the job, although nobody has asked me to do so, l shall now suggest that a board of directors be named to help 1 run the Indians in i942. There is no rule that one man has to be 3n charge, and think how much fun we would have in the autumn when the Indians got rid of four mana gers instead of one.
 Here are my choices:
 l. Uncle Don.
 3. Lana Turner.
 3. Joe Louis.
 At first blush, it would seem that this would lead to Q conflict of authority. Not at all. Each mem Der of the board would have a definite function. Uncle Don, for instance, would do his own work while the players were in the dressing room-strictly an inspira- tional Job. The players would gather around a radio and Uncle Don would say:
 Well, kiddies, how are you this afternoon? Uncle Don has been very, very busy since yesterday get- ting the prizes ready. But I didn't forget single one of you, because you know what I told you at the start of the season-every days your birthday on the Cleveland In- dians. Yes. sir. that's what said and that's what I mean. Now If each one of you will go to his lock- CT right now and look way, way back in the right hand corner you will find a big red apple wrapped up in a five dollar bill. And here's a secret, kiddies. If you beat those bad old Chicago White Sox today, Uncle Don will have something fog

Forte Chosen

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 2e.- Handsome Don Forte of New. ton, pass.catchIng end elected captain Of the l042 Harvard football eleven, believes 1t will be . pretty good team"
 Forte, who made virtually impossible snstches of tOuch- down passes against Army and Yale, was g rather surprising choice over fullback Don Mo NlcOl in yesterdays cleo. tiCn. He succeeds Fran Lee and ends 8 three-yeaF leadership of backfield players. The last pre-. vi0us end named wes Bobby Green in 1898.
 It was believed that FOrte's courage in returning to score against Yale after having two teeth knocked out and l4 stitches taken in a mouth wound was responsible for his election.

Star ShOrtstOp ''EiOpes tt
 Finish in First Division" . --WithOut Teller
BY CHARLES MCMAHON CUnited Press staff Correspondent

BX CHAkkkEB MCMAHON Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.
 Cleveland, November %. = lUP -- The most unenviahle Job in hast ball feli to 2A-yearsold shortstc Lou Doudreau, today with his se lection as player-manager of t1 Cleveland Indians.
 Boudreau, with only two and { half seasons of major league exper- fence, became the youngest man eyer chosen for such Q post when he was named to succeed Roger Peckinpaugh, who was made a vice. president in the Indiana crganisa~ ton,
 .Lou's appointment robbed Joe Cronifi, Boston Red Box manager, of the major leagues youthful manager" title. Cronin was named manager of the Washington Sena. tors in 1929 when he was % years old Co depose stanley (Buckyl Harris, who was 27 when he was named manager Of the Senators in 1924.
 Boudreaus two-year appointment although somewhat of . surprise because of his youth and compara. tive iSlexperience, may be the an. swer to the internal difficulties that have beset tho tribe. He Is noted for having perfect Aisehall Fin. stincw afleid and for Keeping aloof from all of the eff-field dissension prevalent among the players.
 He came to Cleveland in August, 1889, with second baseman Ray Mack from Buffalo of the Inter. national League and hes been in the Indians' infield ever since. His appointment came after club presis dent, Ava Bradley, promoted Peck lnpaugh manager during the past dismal season, to the "front office" to handle the Tribes farm affairs. That post had been vacated by the resignation Of Q. Q. slapnicka at the end of lest season.
 Big Job
 Dcudreau'e task will be difficult Rated preseason favorites after finishing second to Detroit by 8 single game in i0A0, the Indians collapsed during the last season and finished ill fourth place, tied witk the Tigers, 29 games behind the pennant-winning New York Xan. kees.
 Although faced with the pgactic, ally impossible job of replacing BoA, Teller, the Indians' pitching see who 10 due for Army induction soinr' time in January, Houdreau sal dh hoped to "have the club finish iL the first division next season."
 T hope to mould a greater de. gree of good fellowship, aggressive ness and good spirit" he said. I'm going to stay close to the fellow and I don't anticipate any troubD with discipline"
 The Indians made baseball hls tory when they staged . group re volt -- not participated in by al the players against Manager Oscar Witt in io4O.
 Confident
 T can't say whether by dutlef as manager wtll affect my play Ing" said Boudreau, who is marie and has Q three-year-old daughte "Only time will tell that. But don't think there will be any trouble on that score"
 Boudreau said he would attend the minor league meetings at Jack. sonvilie, Fla, starting December ] and then go to Chicago for the major league conferences. He said he would select as two new coaches men with experience" and would probably quit his position as assist- ant basketball coach st the Uni- verslty of Illinois.

Harvard Players Dominate All- New England Clubs

 BY TOM No0NAN
 United Press Staff Correspondent
 Boston, Nov. 20--(Up)-The grid- iron blocks of Gibraltar that formed Harvard's virtually ilnpregnabie ground defense dominated the "big'' all-New England football team cons piled today by the United Press. Five Harvard forwards from a line that didn't allow a BcriininsgS rush- to cross the Crimson goal sfl its fast seven games were named on the first team.
 Boston College, deposed Eastern titlist, salvaged three lberths though thrice beaten by Southern opponents. Two positions were awarded to Holy Cross despite It's indifferent record. Brown earned the remaining post with Dartmouth and Yale unrepres sented on the first eleven.
 Harvard and Holy Gross shared second-team honors with three sucs cessful candidates each. Yale and Dartmouth both landed two places and Boston College got one.
 Unanimous flTst.team choice was Endicott (Chub) Peabody, Harvard blue-blood guard who was hailed by such coaches as Swede Larson and Earl Blaik as the best guard they saw this season and an all-America cinch.
 Peabody's running mate, Dick PtiSter, was steadier and far more capable than any rival for the other guard slot Harvard also gained both end posts through the efforts of Los ren Mckinney, triple.threat artist, and Don Forte, pass-catchlng ace who scored touchdowns againstArmy and Yale with miraculous BnatcheS. The other Crimson selection was tackle Vern Miller, most improved player in this area whose 202 pounds boosted the ali-line average to 20b,
 Two repeaters from the ie40 team were fullback Johnny 0rigas of Holy Gross and left halfback Frank Mag. Tiicki of Boston college. Only sopho. more named was Bob MargaFita, Browns right haifback. Frank Saba Of Holy Cross was the best of Q poor quarterback crop.
