Traditionally versatile, Harvard's ends may do just about everything but sell peanuts this fall in the Stadium. The tipoff on just how strong his flank-men are came when Art Valpey switched tall Tom Guthrie, former first-string end at Notre Dame, to tackle when the 230-pound transfer student reported for practice earlier this month...
Before he can expect to trot out onto the Stadium greensward Saturday, though, he must convince three men by the names of Stone, Hickey, and Glynn that this pre-season rating is not merely idle talk. Don Stone played first-string center last fall when Chuck Glynn hurt his hand. He was particularly effective on defense. A Senior, he got his football groundwork at Roxbury Memorial High...
Chuck Glynn is the fourth man. He played first-string center last year until shelved by an injury. Even with a cast on the injured hand, he was used on offense by Dick Harlow. Chuck is back now, minus the cast, and intends to outfight his three competitors for the starting job. He started getting into shape at his New York home this summer a month before fall practice opened. Like O'Brien, Stone, and Hickey, he may be used as a defensive line-backer this fall...
Balancing this wholesale loss is the presence of several capable athletes who weren't around last fall. Tall Tom Guthrie, a 230-pound transfer student from Notre Dame (he played first-string end) has been moved to tackle. Guard Jack Coan started five games for Harvard's informal Varsity back in 1945, and now shapes up as one of the starting guards...
