Big Elevens Open Practice for Key Games Ahead
Harvard varsity football began yesterday a secret half season workout at the Stadium with most players present except West and Gil Browne. Wigglesworth quarterbacks the second eleven as drills focus on punt work, signal play and formation. Sprague kicks averaged over 60 yards, and the first eleven appears likely to remain stable for the rest of the season with Browne at right end and West possibly replacing Withington at tackle. Substitutes edged the third string in a 20 minute scrimmage, while the team shows machine-like speed and coordination.
