Tomorrow afternoon, in a breather game before these two crucial contests, the Varsity five faces a Brown team they shouldn't have too much difficulty taking. The Brains will be bring to Cambridge the type of outfit that throws long wild passes, and if they happen to be connecting in the Indoor Athletic Building tomorrow, the Crimson will be in for a tough afternoon.
