Defending House Football Champion Leverett House, well stocked with returning talent; will be looking for its second straight league championship when it faces Eliot in its season's opener next Thursday.

With reports from four of the teams as yet unavailable, three ether Houses: Dunster, Eliot, and Winthrop, are faced with a definite lack of experience, speed, and size.

Three solid reasons for the Business' confident hopes of a repeat performance this year are backfield stars Lee Siegal, John Coolidge, and John Bagdasarian. Experienced ends Dan Tyler and Bus Smyth give Leverett additional strength in the line.

Organization is the Dunster eleven's main problem thus far. Coach John McGillicuddy has not yet been able to select a starting team from the 25 candidates who have reported. The Funsters' power is expected to be through the middle, with experienced men in center Jim Dailey, quarterback Jeff Ball, and fullback Dave Cavers.

Eliot is looking through its 18 candidates for an eleven that will match the undefeated, untied, and unscored upon record of its 1952 team. Two veterans, Bill Tooley, center, and Bob Richter, end, played in the all-star game last year, while fullback Chuck Foster starred on the freshman team two years ago. Otherwise, the team is generally now and inexperienced.

Weakness in the backfield is the main problem for the Winthrop House eleven, which is also handicapped by lack of size and speed in most of the reporting candidates.
