Summers, Forte Named to Doubtful Posts; Dillon Rally Will Climax Today's Athletics

Rumors and speculation running rampant this week have finally subsided with Dick Harlow making the predicted changes in the committee of 11 he has nominated to contact Yale tomorrow. The chief Crimson strategist yesterday substituted Greely Summers and Don Forte, the white hopes of the long-odds bettors, to start for the Varsity against the blue-draped Elis.

Summers, although he played with the seconds yesterday, is now slated to replace Bill Wilson at left half. A shift of that importance, however, can never be unalterably definite before the whistle blows.

Forte, after battling the entire fall with Jack Morgan for a starting post, has been named to right end. This will by no means disqualify his classmate but Morgan is not yet ready for a full 60 minutes after his arm injury against Brown.

Eli Thompson Starts

Yale also announced a last minute change, one not even registered on the lineups announced yesterday. Word came from New Haven last night that Senior Johnny Thompson will open at right end instead of the previously announced George Greene.

Even now with the teams named, there are a hundred worries a haunting Harlow. An infinite number of minute variables can change the outcome of a football game, and there are the ever present uncertainties of what the opponent may have to unveil for the first time, where he will lay his offensive emphasis, and how one's own team will react to unexpected tactics by the opposition.

All of Dick Harlow's fears for tomorrow are neatly summarized in a terse warning printed in red chalk inside the players' dressing room at Dillon Field House. There, right beside the door, one of the managers has writ- ten "Remember--in 1939 and Harvard was favored 4 to 1. Yale won both!" The word Yale is underlined three times in blue crayon.

It is all over now, all the sweating hours of toil, all the struggles "nd prayers, all the endless drilling on blocks, feints, and passes. Nothing is left to the 1941 football team but 30 hours of tense anticipation and 60 flying minutes of action.

Yesterday the squad ran through its last formal practice session, and President Conant came down to the fenced-in-field to watch them. That was the last defense move before the allout effort of tomorrow. There is only a brief Stadium work-out this afternoon after Yale practices from two to three and a night at the Belmont Country Club before the sixtieth climatic meeting of the traditional rivals.

But there was no shirking yesterday, and President Conant was treated to a full-fledged, spirited drill by what someone has titled the "Singing Harvards." There was, however, a new tone about the practice, a tone which has been present all this week. Harlow no longer sought to create a team which could meet and beat anything which came along, but rather an eleven which could take its only existing enemy into camp.

Harlow still complained after yesterday's workout tbout the failure to effectively stifle Yale's passing attack from their spread and modified "T" formation. A Jayvee squad dressed in old Dunster House correctly numbered blue jerseys, with Coach Frank Swirles in the role of Ed Taylor, passed rings around the Varsity.

One optimistic note from the day's labors is the employment of a system to block quick kicks devised by line coach Lyal Clark. The remainder of the session was spent on kickoff return defense and runbacks of kicks.DON FORTE listed as victor in battle for starting Varsity end role.
