Harvard will open its 1951 football schedule against Holy Cross in the Stadium on September 29, according to the Crusaders' slate released yesterday by Director of Athletics Eugene G. Flynn.

Holy Cross drops two Ivy League schools--Dartmouth and Yale--as well as Syracuse from its '51 schedule and adds Fordham, New York University, and Tulane.

Holy Cross also meets Brown, Colgate, Marquette, Georgetown, Temple, and B.C.
