With its opening game against Bates scheduled for this Saturday, the Varsity football squad is still in a process of change and experimentation. Three facts have come to light in the scrimmages so far: first, Coach Eddie Casey has at his disposal a much larger group of prospective first-string men this year than in 1932; secondly, the entire squad is noticeably rough in assignment work, and, thirdly, this year more than any other the success of the season will depend on the set of plays developed by Casey and his assistants...
...Casey's experiments have shown that there is good material on hand: to the veteran backfield group of Captain John Dean, Charley Nevin, and Arthur Barrett have been added Francis Lane, Allan Sherman, and Fred Moseley; Deeb Peter has been developed as a capable understudy to Danny Wells; and Shaun Kelly and Walter White have the makings of first-rate ends. Kelly, in particular, shows great promise. He is almost certain to be a starting end against Yale...
...latter's disability lately. At the present time it looks as if he would outstrip his classmate Fred Moseley, who hasn't shone quite as brilliantly recently as he did in the first week of practice. These two Sophomores may provide the answer to the problem that faced Casey at the beginning of the season...
When the season opened Casey had three heavy, steady players in Dean, Nevin, and Barrett and he had light, fast players like Locke and Pescosolido, but he had no one in between these two groups to take Crickard's place. Lane weighs 171 pounds, ten more than Locke. Moseley weighs 163 pounds, nearly ten pounds more than "Pesky." Then, too, there are Allan Sherman and Dick Waters from the Class of 1934 and Cedric Janien and John Adzigian from last year's Freshmen...
Probably none of these men will be stars of the current national football season, but if Casey can make them work together as a team and can develop a set of plays that will make the most of their combined services, then Harvard ought to have a very fair season. The first test will come this Saturday
