DEVENS ELEVEN TO CLASH WITH NEWPORT RESERVES

GAME AT BRAVES FIELD

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

At Braves Field tomorrow morning at 10.30 o'clock the Haughton-trained Camp Devens eleven will meet Black's Naval Reserves in a championship inter-service football battle. The Devens eleven has been defeated by the Navy Yard, but the team has been so strengthened by the return of seven former University stars that it is well able to represent the soldiers in this game. The game will be a test of the Yale and the University football systems as Dr. Bull, the former Yale coach, has been assisting C. R. Black, who captains the sailors, in drilling the Newport eleven, while Coach Haughton has been at work with the Devens squad for several weeks.

On the sailor eleven there is a remarkable array of individual talent. Black and Callahan from Yale, Schlacter of Syracuse and Green of Dartmouth in the line form a powerful combination. As backfield players, there will be Barrett, captain at Cornell, with Gerrish of Dartmouth and Hite and Gardner from the Middle West. The team had an unbroken string of victories until the cohesive play of Rutgers defeated the sailors' individual efforts in a 14-to-0 game in New York. The University informals were among the teams defeated by the Rhode Island squad.

The University has given not only the coach but also seven former players of University calibre to the Devens team. To form a typical University eleven Coach Haughton has the following players: In the backfield, W. F. Robinson '18, H. W. Minot '17 and T. C. Thacher, Jr., '18; and in the line, C. A. Coolidge '17, W. Whitney '16, M. Weston '15 and M. Wiggin '18. Henry of Brown, a new recruit for the team, will be another strong lineman
