SCHUMANN LIKELY TO START AT LEFT GUARD SATURDAY

Games for 1936 Not to Be Decided Till Committee on Regulation of Athletic Sports Meets on Dec. 3

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

While the undergraduate body argued over Notre Dame and Navy as long-shot guesses for the 1936 schedule, the Varsity kept up business as usual and for the second successive day tried Frank Schumann at left guard.

As things stand now, it looks as if Schumann will be the starter at guard against the Army with Lane and Brookings close behind him in the list of line men. Everything points to Schumann, for it would be pretty unusual to have a man in the "A" lineup two days before the game and then jerk him at the last minute. Furthermore, there seems little doubt about the backfield. Bilodeau, Ecker, Ford, and Blackwood appear to have the assignments.

This means that six sophomores will take the field against West Point tomorrow. More specifically, six Sophomores, three Juniors, and two Seniors, Schumann, and Captain Gundlach. Any way you look at it that's quite a pleasant prospect for the next two years' gridiron schedules. Who knows but what by 1936 Harvard really will be able to tackle Notre Dame, U. S. C., Navy, Michigan, and half a dozen of the other colleges the "inside" dopesters are planning to bring to Cambridge?

Incidentally, no comment was forthcoming from Bill Bingham yesterday on this momentous schedule question. Nothing definite can be decided until the Committee on Regulation of Athletic Sports meets on December 3. But the chances are that Holy Cross will not be on the list for 1936.

Meantime both the Varsity and West Point will work out at Soldiers Field today, and this evening the entire Crimson squad will go out to Sandy Burr Country Club to be entertained by William Gaxton and Victor Moore of "Of Thee I Sing" fame.
