Prominent among the first string players who will be on hand today are John Tudor '29, and F. R. G. Giddens '30, Wingmen, E. T. Putnam '30 and G. C. Holbrook '30, centers, and A. S. Bigelow '29, H. W Bigelow '29, and S. L. Batchelder '31, who have shared the defense duties regularly this season. O. P. Jackson '29, H. H. Newell '29, and W. L. Elkins '29, who have divided the goal guarding honors so far this season are expected to renew their rivalry for the post of cageman...

Bigelow seems stronger than that of last year, while the offense is fully as strong with Captain John Tudor '29 and F. R. G. Giddens '30 as wingmen.

Brown '28, who was one of the leading end prospects until yesterday, has been shifted to the backfield where he will be given a try-out at quarter...
From past records, however, Harvard should have this season at least three sets of capable wingmen. It is in balance, however, rather than individual brilliancy, that the strength of the Crimson end squad appears to lie. Only two members, J. L. Coombs, Occ., and B. H. Strong '28 are letter men, and Coombs has not made his appearance in the role of a University regular since the Yale game in 1923, when he started as a Sophomore at left end on the Stadium turf. Strong's is the only name in the last of this year's ends which appeared...
