Opening their 1942 season this afternoon, the Jayvee football team plays host to Dean Academy while the Varsity cross country team meets B. U.
Facing a team that has won 17 straight the Junior Varsity boys really have a job on their hands. Coach Floyd Stahl has chosen as his starting line-up: le, Farley; lt, Kidner; lg, King; c, Lawson; rg, Fisher; rt, Ellis; re, Nunan; tb, Leahy; fb, Ross; wb, Cole; qb, Byrnes.
Paced by Captain Fred Phinney, a seasoned Crimson cross country team will oppose an underdog Boston University squad this afternoon over the five-mile "Loop" course, out to Watertown and back on the Allston side of the river.
Although Coach Jaakko Mikkola will start an official team of only seven men, about twenty additional Crimson harriers will be at the starting line. This is to determine who will run in the all-important race next week with Holy Cross and Rhode Island, last year's national champions.
The jayvees were also scheduled to race Northeastern but a conflict in times makes it uncertain as to whether this meet will take place.
