HORWEEN DRILLS ELEVEN ENROUTE

Aboard the Harvard Special, Albany, N. Y., Nov. 7--Hauled over the Berkshires by two puffing locomotives, fore and aft, Harvard's varsity football squad, with its full complement of variegated retainers and a score of Boston newspapermen, paused for ten minutes here late this evening, bound for Ann Arbor, Michigan, on the Crimson's first quest for a big ten scalp on the latter's own battleground.

Uneventful except for the usual bridge and poker games, the trip so far has run as smoothly as would be expected with Harvard's far famed management in charge. Only one cloud hangs over the scene, Eddie Farrell, Harvard's veteran track coach and trainer of the football squad, having been forced to stay behind with what looked very much like incipient appendicitis.

In charge of the half dozen porters attached to the four sleepers, diner, observation car, and baggage caboose, is none other than Joe Hughes, colored porter, who back in 1919 was attached to the car which brought Harvard's team to the Tournament of Roses at Pasadena. Joe was not long in recognizing Arnold Horween, now the University's head coach, as the Crimson's captain, and Eddie Casey, now its backfield coach, as the star back of the Harvard outfit of ten years ago.

Harvard's touring troupe had dinner enroute just before reaching this state capital. After dinner, an informal meeting was held in one of the teams' sleepers, Horween and one or two other coaches doing a bit of blackboarding on Michigan plays.

Among the attaches on the train is Billy Murray, former Harvard backfield star, who has seen Michigan in every one of its games this fall. A short talk with him has convinced this correspondent that it is his bounden duty to warn all Harvard followers not to be deluded into giving any large odds on the Harvard team. The Crimson has just cause to look with confidence on the approaching struggle, but it is Murray's well considered opinion that Michigan has far more power than recent dispatches from Ann Arbor would seem to indicate.

Murray describes Michigan as a team with tremendous power which, very much like Harvard, has so far failed to click. The past two weeks of inactivity, he feels, should put Michigan on edge for the Harvard game
