ELEVEN WILL PLAY DOUBLE HEADER ON COMING SATURDAY

For the second time in history Harvard's footabll team will play a doubleheader. This was disclosed yesterday when it became known that the Harvard athletic officials had arranged for the United States Coast Guard Academy team from New London to play the second game of a double bill this Saturday in the Stadium. Vermont will, as a scheduled, play the first game.

The game with the Coast Guard team was arranged yesterday after conferences between the officials of both instructions. The Crimson originally was supposed to play only Vermont but when the latter eleven suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Amherst last Saturday the Harvard authorities conceived the plan of playing two games in order to give the team as much opposition as possible.

Only the University team will be used in the two games, the first of which will start at 2.30 o'clock and the second at about 4.15 o'clock. It is very likely that Team A will remain in the greater portion of the Vermont tilt with Teams B and C doing the majority of the playing in the second encounter.

The only other time that a Crimson football team engaged in a doubleheader was in the fall of 1921 when both Middlebury and B. U. were defeated in an early season twin bill. The Crimson won the games by 16 to 0 and 10 to 0 scores, respectively.

Cunningham Out for Season

Counteracting the announcement of the doubleheader was the fact that C. C. Cunningham '32. Team B center, suffered a broken ankle in the scrimage of yesterday afternoon and will be out for the entire season. Cunningham is a letterman of last year and a capable understudy of Captain Ticknor. He is the second member of Harvard's center squad to be injured this year, as Gildea has been out ever since first few days of practice with a leg injury. Gildea will be in shape within another fortnight, or by the Army game, but in his continued absence Hallowell, last year's Freshman center will move up to Team B.

At the start of the season Harvard's strong point was thought to be the center with five men available. Now Gildea and Cunningham are out and Richards has shifted over to guard.

Typical Monday Workout

In the scrimmage that lost Cunningham to the Harvard cause for this year the University squad won a dubious victory over the seconds. Play was ragged and sheddy but was characterized by the coaches as a typical Monday workout Devens Forbes and Fullam playing with the A.B. and C backfields respectively went over the line for the first team Devens counted his after about five minutes of scrimmage, after a tun by Ticknor on an intercepted mpass had put the ball deep in second team territory.

After the seconds had recovered a tumble a little later in the session they lost the ball on downs and the first string backs marched down the field. On the 15-yard line the B backs went in an Forbes dashed over after several plays Fullam counted on the last play of the scrimmage after a sustained but irregular drive by the O backs.
