"They're all very good, but I don't think thatthey can contribute right away and give us thegoals that the other people left off with,"Kleinfelder said.

Princeton, Penn, Dartmouth and Yale should posethe biggest threats to the Crimson in the Ivytitle race. Outside the league, Temple, theUniversity of New Hampshire, the University ofMaryland and the University of Massachusetts boaststrong programs.

The Crimson felt a little rusty in around-robin tournament last weekend at William andMary. In 25-minute scrimmages against Penn State,the University of Virginia, Maryland, Williamand Mary, Lafayette, Hofstra and the World Cupteam, Harvard lost all but three games.

Kleinfelder thought the lack of effectivepractice time had something to do with it.

"You could tell the teams that had been workingoutside and full field," Kleinfelder said."Clearly you just can't be in Briggs [Cage] andget more than a little out of it."

With milder weather on its way, the Crimsonhopes to have an opportunity to work out its playsand manuever its offense and defense in order tobe ready for its opener against Penn tomorrow atSoldiers Field at 1 p.m.

"We have a lot of catching up to do,"Kleinfelder said.

And so little time to do it
