NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

One more game has been added to the Crimson football schedule to complete the list at an even eight games. Boston University will be the opponent on September 24, the week after the Brown game, at Soldiers Field. Another game has also been scheduled for the B team: Worcester Academy will play here on October 27. Coached temporarily by Freshman mentor Dave McKelvey in the absence of head coach Walter Holman, the B.U. Terriers will field an all-civilian squad against the half-and-half Crimson team.

'44 Men Back

Some 13 men from Henry Lamar's 1944 informal squad will be back as the nucleus of this year's team, reinforced by three or four returning veterans from the 1942 formal team. Among the regulars on the forward wall will be Dave Mackintosh and Rod Perkins at the end positions, Chet Pierce at tackle, Howie Foster, Ellis Hodge, Teddy Woggon, and Mel Allen at guard, and Paul O'Leary at center.

In the backfield Coach Harlow will have Marvin Jenkis, Herb Fritts, and Pete Harwood as wingbacks, Jack McDonald at quarter, and Bob cowen as fullback. William "Willow". Fisher and Leo Flynn, who won their Varsity H in 1942, are back from the wars and will help round out the team.

Though formal football and the Yale game will wait until 1946, Harvard has regained the major part of its peacetime coaching staff. Coach Dick Harlow, back from three years of service as a Lieutenant-Commander in the Navy, will be assisted by Al McCoy, also back from service in the armed forces. Also helping out will be, of course, Floyd Stah! and Henry Lamar.
