Open, Closed Clash In Fir House All-Star Game Today

Two evenly-matched teams, from Open University and Closed College will meet in the Stadium at 2 p.m. today in the first annual House League all-star game, sponsored jointly by the Athletic Association and the CRIMSON.

For the first time in Stadium history, admission is free. The weather will be dry, clear, and cold.

In special pre-game ceremonies, the CRIMSON will present a cup to William J. Bingham '16, former Director of Athletics. William M. Simmons '52, CRIMSON president, will make the award to Bingham as "the man who made athletics for all' a reality at Harvard."

Closed Coach Jerry Kanter 1B won a special coin-toss yesterday, so his squad will occupy the bench normally used by Harvard. The Closed scoring will appear on the scoreboard next the "Harvard" placard. Open will be the "Visitors," so Coach Dwight Hyde 1B will seat his men across the field.

Officials-Referee, Lawrence J. Spellman; Umpire, John M. Morlarty; Linesman, Kenneth O'Donnell; Field Judge, Leo J. Lannigan.

Chill winds yesterday failed to halt final practices, as both coaches polished their offenses and named starting teams. Kanter is relying heavily on the defending championship Eliot squad, as six of his Closed starters are former Elephants.

Open's team, running from a T-formation similar to the Closed attack, has a small play repetoire, according to Hyde but is set for a fast, truly Open game.

This afternoon's tussle could well develop into a battle of forward passes, as both quarterbacks, Bob Lown of Closed and Open's Walt Greeley, are excellent heavers. The combination of Lown and end Major Close should be particularly effective, although Closed has three other good passers: Bucky O'Connor, Charlie Cabot, and Ted Cook.

But Open has enough of a hard-running attack, built mainly around Charlie Collins and Bob Smith, to keep the Closed defense sufficiently drawn in to let Greeley flip more than a few good passes.

All-star teams generally feature strong reserves, and these two are no exceptions. Both clubs have powerful benches; both coaches will probably substitute freely.

Hyde and Kanter, former Crimson football regulars, will be joined in today's game by another ex-Harvard great. Ken O'Donnell, captain of the 1948 football team, will be the linesman
