Indian Team Works Out at Stadium; Practice Stresses Passing, Kicking

Dartmouth took its turn at entertaining the press in Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon with the usual pre-game shenanigans. When they had finished baring their teeth for the assembled photographers, the Indians ran though a short passing and kicking drill.

Meryl Forst, second string back who fills in at tailback and wingback for Coach Tuss McLaughry, looked particularly good in the brief session. Frost will probably be sued for spot plays this afternoon.

Indians Have Shift

The Indians are about to break up Dick Harlow's famous looping defense, and they have a very good weapon. Lining up in an orthodox double wing, the Hanover men shift left or right into a single wing on almost every play. Sometimes they do not shift at all, but run plays directly from the original formation.

This shifting offense makes it difficult for any defensive variations, Harlow's potent solution to any number of offensive systems. What the Crimson mentor does to solve the Hanover gyrations will be seen this afternoon.

The Dartmouth shift has succeeded in pulling opponent lines offside on a few occasions this fall, but it cannot be considered as important an offensive weapon as Harlow's own double shift proved to be against Pennsylvania.

So it will be a battle of two shrewd coaches this afternoon, and McLaughry has any number of tricks up his sleeve every year. His backs are fast, but the line is the fly in the Dartmouth ointment.
