A football player lay face down on the soggy turn; men in red and white jerseys gather around the still form.

Art Valpey's voice carried across the practice field. "You have exactly two minutes to get him either off the field or ready to play."

"That's pretty heartless thing to say," a spectator observed.

On the row of benches next to him, a furniture turned around. "When the coach says actual game conditions, he means actual game conditions. Two minutes is all you can delay the game."

The spectator moved away.

Only Kick-off Missing

There were other signs of "actual game conditions," even down to referees and their natural consequences, penalties. The only thing missing, in fact, was the kick-off. As far as injuries go, it is the most dangerous; and besides, it takes up too much time.

The Whites, made up mainly of varsity men, beat the Reds, 40 to 0.

Actually, there were only four new faces on the Whites. In no special order, they belonged to tailback Carroll Lowenstein, fullback Johnny West, end Al Wilson, and end Fred Ravreby.

Big Little Man

Lowenstein, whose weight and height both considerably increase when he puts on football cleats, is the little man who played such a large hand on last season's freshman team. By hand or by foot, he can propel the ball with admirable accuracy.

During the afternoon's entertainment, he demonstrated these long-sought abilities by completing five out of seven passes, two of them for touchdowns, and by once punting the ball 55 yards. He also carried the ball for a third score. Lowenstein is expected to contribute to Harvard's passing attack next fall; but unless Jim Kenary's, Jimmy Noouan's and/or Chuck Roach's dead throwing arms return from Limbo by next September, he is Harvard's passing attack.

West was a fullback a la Ted Fritch with the freshman team two years ago, but was sidelined last season with a mild case of blue-book fatigue. The new Lamont practice field seems to have cured his ills, however, and West will probably be filling in for Chip Gannon next fall.

California Import

Wilson is a transfer student from Southern California, where he played freshman football. John Fiorentino, Walt Coulson, and Red Hill, all ends last year, are graduating. Wilson, a fullback at USC, is now an end. If one diving catch of a Lowenstein pass indicates anything, the fast 200-pound pre-med student may be a good one.
