Rugby intramural will start on this afternoon on Soldiers Field, when the Freshman team is slated to encounter the Lowell House aggregation, while the Yard and Gold Coast will clash immediately afterward. Other intramural are to follow on Tuesday and Thursday of next week.

An exhibition match is planned at Soldiers Field on Saturday, March 28, between two trial teams picked from the showing of players in these inter house games. At the conclusion of the exhibition the University team will be selected, which will play the Philadelphia Marines on the following Monday. The Marines encounter Yale two day before they meet the Crimson team.

On Monday, April 6, the Harvard players will journey to Syracuse for a game with the home college, during which opportunity will be given for the newer players to get into action. The spring vacation causes a break in the schedule, which opens again on Saturday, April 25, with the first Yale game, to be played in the Stadium. The next two games are both away from home, one with the New York Rugby Club on Saturday, May 2, and the other a week later at Princeton. Saturday, May 16, will close both the Harvard and Yale schedules at the dual meet in New Haven.

Other matches, notably with the French team and the visiting Montreal 15, are expected to be arranged. T. P. Fry grL believes that the material has proved exceptionally good, and expressed the conviction that Harvard will have two teams of the caliber of Princeton and Yale.
