Rain Balks Crimson in Rematch With Quonset

With a rainy spell wiping out all sports encounters during the past few days. Coach Floyd Stahl's Varsity nine lay idle Wednesday while chief "Crash" Davis's Jayvees made a futile trip to Andover. Both games were cancelled without any future date set for delaying them, but they probably will be rescheduled later, declared Carroll F. Getchell, acting director of the Harvard Athletic Association, yesterday.

Tomorrow afternoon the delayed home opener for the spring season is scheduled to take place against the Boston Coast Guard. Originally slating an encounter with Boston University, the Athletic Association learned recently that the B.U. outfit had been disbanded. Making a doubleheader out of this opener, the B team will take on the Navy Receiving Station for its official debut in the 1945 season.

The Coast Guard game should prove to be a close match from what has happened so far between the opposing clubs. In the first meeting the Crimson drubbed the sailors 13 to 4. Their success was short-lived, however, for the vanquished team bounced back to win 12 to 5 a few days later.
