Spring Grid Practice

Spring football annually draws many of the gridmen from the fall's Freshman squad. Varsity Coach Dick Harlow now takes charge of 1943.

Butterfly chasing is an official minor sport at Harvard in the form of lacrosse. The squad is composed of soccer players who, armed with a new weapon, chase the pellet about the Business School Field.

Clark Hodder, fresh from coaching varsity hockey, turns in the spring to another specialty of his, golf. The squad practices at nearby courses, the University maintaining no private links.

Polo, under Major Sargent, swimming, a gle sculling, and tennis complete the list of spring sports, in all of which Freshmen may participate.

In addition, there is a well-organized program of dormitory athletics, running throughout the year, affording to the less experienced a chance to meet their classmates and have fun and exercise.
