Referee, W. R. Okeson, Lehigh; umpire, William Holenbach, Pennsylvania linesman, Thomas J. McCabe, Holy Cross; field judge, Fred Burleigh, Exeter. Game starts at 2 o'clock. Time, four 15 minute periods.
When the football teams of Harvard and Brown face each other in the Stadium this afternoon at 2 o'clock, the Harvard team will be composed largely of substitutes, while a majority of regulars will be in the Brown line-up. Of the Crimson team which defeated Princeton 5-0 in the Palmer Stadium, last Saturday, only two players, Eastman and Dunker, will be in the line-up today. Of the Brown team that gave Dartmouth its 14-16 scare a week ago, all but three, Sheldon, Payor and Marshall, will be back in the line-up today.
Harvard May Be Powerful Anyway
How this will affect the outcome of the game today is uncertain. For although the Harvard line-up is lacking in the cohesion of an experienced team it will be fresh and powerful. Brown's veteran team, on the other hand, is still strained and bruised from its recent encounters with Yale and Dartmouth. Moreover the loss of Sheldon at end and Reynolds at tackle from injuries received during the past fortnight will materially weaken the team. With these heavy players out of the line and Swaney, Dixon, and Sweet bringing the average weight of the backfield down to 150 pounds, it will be hard for the Brown attack to get under way as effectively as it did against Dartmouth last Saturday.
Crimson Eleven May Not Be A Unit
It is difficult to predict the performance of the Harvard team as these eleven men have never started together before. But each man has given ample proof of his ability individually in previous games, and Eastman, Dunker, Grew, Hammond, Spalding and Gordon have all won their letters in previous years.
