Harvard's 1941 gridders will go all out in an attempt to bounce back in the win column when they run head on into a sizzling Cornell eleven, pockmarked with capable Sophomores and potentially as strong as last year's powerful unit, in the first game of the season to be played on Soldiers Field.

When the two squads line up this afternoon for the 2:30 o'clock starting whistle in the resumption of a 51 year old football rivalry, Cornell, already boasting a 6 to 0 victory over Syracuse, will rule the definite favorite.

Harvard, with two light-weight Juniors scheduled to start in the otherwise all-Senior line, will be outweighed three or four pounds to the man. The line averages of the two teams are relatively close, due to the presence of mountainous Vern Miller in the Crimson front office, but the Harlow-coached squad yields a 12 pound advantage per man in the backfield ranks.

At the start of the 1941 season, Cornell loomed as one of the East's weaker outfits, due to the graduation of last year's great crop of Seniors, Matusczak et al, but as the season actually gets under way, the Big Red picture has tended toward the more roseate side.
