West Point, with banners flying and bugles blowing, invades the precincts of the Harvard Stadium this afternoon to meet a Harvard team which has proved its courage and little else.

With Joe Stancook and Jack Buckler in the Army backfield, the Cadets move in on Cambridge with a team that is reputed by experts to be even more powerful than the great Princeton eleven which humbled the Crimson a week ago.

Those who looked at the Tiger offense last Saturday were amazed at the elusiveness of Garry LeVan, but these same spectators will hold their breath while the great Jack Buckler tosses random passes on the dead run. They will marvel at the driving power of Joe Stancook, who smashes the line like a second Bronko Nagurski.

But if the indications prove correct, they will marvel more at the fighting spirit of this Harvard team, which has tasted defeat and found it not to its liking. Through 60 minutes of the game last week, the audience was treated to an exhibition of "guts" on the part of Captain Herman Gundlach and his mates, such as has seldom been seen     HARVARD   Ford l.h.b.  Bilodeau q.b.  Ecker f.b.  Blackwood r.h.b.

Army comes to Cambridge with a team that has suffered defeat only at the hands of Illinois, while the Crimson is rated the underdog on the basis of its showing in the last three games. Followers of Harvard will maintain that the team hasn't a prayer, yet there are those who feel that the bulldog tenacity of Eddie Casey's team should bring the odds up to even money.

The odds last night quoted the Army as a 3-1 favorite over John Harvard, and the experts picked the invaders to hand the Crimson their fourth straight defeat.

Coach Eddie Casey, on the eve of the battle, substituted Frank Schumann and Bob Watson for Bob Brookings and Mike Adlis respectively in the Crimson line. Gundlach is the only other representative of the graduating class who will grace the Harvard team at the whistle today.

Line Coach Adam Walsh has caught the attention of the public with his work in constructing a line which has held in check some of the most formidable teams in the country, but the same is not true of the pass defense of the backfield. If the Army opens up with its aerial attack in the game today, an indication will be given of the success of Coach Casey's intensive work in this department.

Harvard is taking a chance on its Sophomore backfield, composed of Tommy Bilodeau, George Ford, George Blackwood and Leo Ecker, to handle the assignments in the game today. This youngster secondary has proved itself adequate on the defense, when it fought like a wildeat to hold back the Orange last week. Not until exhaustion wreaked havoe on this youthful quartet, did the Tiger find the going to his satisfaction
