Harvard's "A" team looked more like a well-oiled gridiron machine yesterday afternoon than it has any other time this year, but joy in the Crimson football camp was shortlived. Burgy Ayres joined the long list of casualties, and the extent of his injury is as yet undetermined.

Ayres was just beginning to find himself and make rapid improvement in his defensive center play this week when an accidental leg bump laid him low in yesterday's dummy scrimmage.

Good Signal Drill

The 50 minute signal drill was by far the best of the year for the Harlowmen and several men left the injury list. George Heiden and Joel Ferris' were back on full duty, taking part in all the work. In addition to Ayres, the sideline squad now numbers Don Forte, Elisha Atkins, Mort Waldstein, Gordon Lyle and Ray Guild, all of whom have minor muscle injuries.

Ed Buckley's forward passing highlighted the day's offensive manoeuvers, making him a strong contender for the number three fallback job. There will be a regulation squad game tomorrow starting at 2:30 o'clock and several men are due for promotions to the red jer- seys.

New Men

Three men reported for the first time yesterday, Lew Harder, Bill Stedman, and Dave Glass. The latter is a crew man, encouraged by Tom Bolles to try his hand at football.

The Freshmen went through a 30 min-the scrimmage under the direction of Chief Boston but failed to provide any sort of an offensive display
