Eliot's high-scoring undefeated football team meets another undefeated team at 2:45 p.m. this afternoon on Walter Camp Field when it faces Yale's Berkeley College. If the Elephants win this one, Harvard will return with its third consecutive intramural championship from the Elis.
Coach Stevenson has based Eliot's attack on bread and butter plays, and lets good blocking and hard driving do the rest.
Eliot has a scoring average of over there touchdowns a game for 161 points and has limited the opposition to two touchdowns and a safety. Quarterback Charley Cabot has done a good job of mixing his plays, and he has the material with which to do the mixing.
The Elephants have a line which has opened large holes for fullback Rick Hudner; downfield blocking is probably the most crisp in House football, and halfbacks Pete Reiner and Jim Rossiter gallop around the ends in the style of Princeton's Dick Kazmaier. Cabot also can work in his own passing game, on those infrequent times when the ground attack bogs down. Defensively, the Elephants need only point to the puny scoring record of the opposition.
Another football championship will be decided on Walter Camp Field at 2:15 p.m. when Lowell's touch football team, which won the title yesterday by beating Eliot, 24 to 0, faces Eli champion Timothy Dwight.
Probable Eliot starting lineup: le, Close; lt, Pugh; lg, Cowen; c, Hull; rg, Cowles; rt, Guild; re, Cox; qb, Cabot; rh, Rossiter; lh, Reiner; fb, Hudner.
