Captain Torbie Macdonald Is Certain To Play Against Wildcats on Saturday

Regulars Are Given Afternoon Rest by Harlow Following Great Army Battle

By Donald Peddle

Coach Dick Harlow gave all of the men who played a part in halting the Cadel assault Saturday (with the exception of George Downing and Hank Vander Eb) a well earned rest yesterday afternoon. No read injuries were reported after the team's first major win, although Club Peabody got a hard crack on his side and Joe Gardella needs a good rest from gridiron warfare.

Best news of the day came when it was revealed that Captain Torbie Macdonald was certain to see action against New Hampshire Saturday. But for a bad case of indigestion he would have played last Saturday. He is now off the doctor's list and showed a lot of zip in signal drills.

B and C Scrimmage

The B and C teams provided all of the day's action as they engaged in a stiff 50 minute scrimmage, worked on pass offense, and get a look at some New Hampshire plays. Backfield Coach Johnny Wood scouted the Wildcats Saturday and reported that they have one very good tackle and three dangerous backs.

Macdonald will get some much-needed contact work this Saturday, but at present there are no changes contemplated in the varsity backfield. Torbie and Charley Spreyer will alternate at tailback. Should the Crimson captain prove that he is ready to play the major portion of a game, changes may be in order. With Macdonald and Spreyer in the game at the same time, Harvard would present its strongest and most dangerous attack.
