WEAKENED CRIMSON ELEVEN FACES HUGE EDWARDS TEAM

For some reason the mammoth Camp Edwards eleven keeps losing games, and so the Crimson may escape the expected shellacking that seemed so obvious when the two teams met last month and the Harvards surprised everybody with a 7-0 victory.

That upset was considered to be the result of the Yanks' lack of practice, but they have been working together ever since without achieving any better results. They should come up to this game in a fighting mood though, and with this factor coupled with their weight and experience advantages, the soldier boys cannot be dismissed lightly.

What has happened to Harvard since the Worcester game is also a moot point. Swede Anderson, Joe Lauterbach, George Hibbard, and Steve Mallett have departed, and, while the addition of Paul and Red Perkins to the squad list has bolstered the team immeasurably, it's hard to fill four holes in a regular team.

Besides these losses to the Navy, Wally Mroz, first-string guard, is on the injured list, and will be replaced by Earle Winters, while second-string end Frank Holt has been drafted. In other line-up shifts, Ray Eder has regained the wingback post, although Dick Warren will probably see almost as much action as Eder, and Don Geeson has nosed out Tom Haymond at left end.

Tomorrow's game will see the first organized cheering at Soldiers Field, with all the service men and College students admitted free; the return game should draw a sizeable crowd.
