UNDERDOG '45 ELEVEN SEEKS FIRST WIN AGAINST ANDOVER

Boston Revamps Lineup; Garland Back at Left End

By A. EDWARD Rowse

Coach Chief Boston's hapless Yardlings, who were on the very short end of a 26 to 0 score against Exeter last week, will go "all out" this afternoon to pin an undefeated Andover football team in a game scheduled for 2:30 o'clock at Andover.

Boston will be trying to repeat last year's 20 to 0 Crimson victory. Coach Steve Sorota's boys of blue, however, definitely have the upper hand, having beaten the Northeastern Freshmen 20 to 0, Nichols Junior College 29 to 0 and the Yale Freshmen 9 to 7 in their first three games of the season.

Evidence of the fact that Boston is having his troubles finding a capable first eleven is shown in the greatly changed Crimson lineup for today's game. Only five positions have remained unchanged since last Saturday.

The most significant shift concerns Pete Garland, big 200-pound left end. Last week he started at the left halfback spot in the backfield, but Boston has moved him back to his former position for today's encounter with the Phillipians.

In their usual starting positions at center and right tackle will be Jack and Bill Fisher, who were stars on last year's Andover aggregation. Other players who will be starting their second game are Sid Smith, at right guard, Bill Hornbeck at right end, and Phil Drake at blocking back.

Ken Keuffel, Andover's star right halfback and captain, was the one who brought his team to victory over Yale last Saturday as he booted a field goal from Yale's 20-yard line with only two minutes to go to the end of the game.

If the Yardlings have hopes of winning today's game, they will have to show a much improved pass defense than they showed last week when they fell miserably before the Exeter aerial offense.

On the basis of the Yale game, Andover shows up even better than its traditional rival with seven out of 17 passes completed against a reputably strong Eli defense.
