Yardling B Team Kicks Off Today

The freshman "B" eleven opens the football weekend as well as its own season this afternoon against an undefeated Noble and Greenough team in Dedham. Kickoff time is 3 p.m.

Noble's team has a big advantage for this game. The prep schoolers have played twice already, beating Rivers, 45 to 0, and losing to St. Mark's, 7 to 0. Charley Law's freshmen, on the other hand, have had less than 48 hours as a unit together.

Elliot Putnam, Noble coach, says his team has a speedy backfield but a light line. Putnam's two best backs are Captain Pete Kenney, hard-running halfback, and Tom Tolan, a quarterback who can run, pass, and kick. Noble uses an attack involving both T and single-wing plays.

Freshmen: l.e., Van Kessler; l.t., Kimmel; l.g., Carey; c., Robinson; r.g., Casey; r.t., Flather; r.e., Maier; q.b., Simmons; l.h., Trucker; r.h., Boies; f.b., Langdon.

Noble and Greenough: l.e., Mullin; l.t., Catlin; l.g., Dillon; c., Craig; r.g., Elder; r.t., Stout; r.e., Cummings; q.b., Tolan; l.h., Allen; r.h., Kenney; f.b., Nichols.

Bill McCourt, right end on the freshman football team's offensive platoon, will miss tomorrow's game with Brandeis, medical reports indicated yesterday. McCourt strained a joint during the Yardlings', win over Andover Saturday. It is not yet known how long he will be out.
