STAFF AUGMENTED AS YALE GAME LOOMS UP

ELIS ARRIVE TONIGHT

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

O. F. Cutts '02, said to be the most famous tackle who ever played on a Harvard eleven, joined Coach Fisher's staff yesterday afternoon. Cutts played on the team of 1901 which had the distinction of defeating Yale 21-0, for the first time in the Harvard Stadium.

P. D. Haughton '99 also appeared on the field. This is the third time this season that he has aided the coaching staff, particularly in relation to a defense against forward passes. And it on this defense that a large part of the attention of the coaches has been focused during the past week. Both Yale and the University have not shown particular strength in meeting an aerial attack in past games, and, as both elevens may use this mode of offense in a pinch, defense against it is of great importance.

In yesterday's drill, the last secret practice of the year, Coach Fisher scheduled work identical with that of the previous days. A long signal drill, a dummy scrimmage with more than usual emphasis laid on the breaking up of drop kick formations, filled the afternoon. As before, the seconds opposed both Teams A and B with an array of Yale formations.

Every first-squad man-ran through the drill; J. K. Desmond Occ, alone staying out of the dummy scrimmage.

After the open practice today before the student-body, the football men will leave town for the Essex Country Club, where they will rest until their return on Friday evening.

The Eli squad is scheduled to arrive in Boston this evening. Their final practice in the Bowl yesterday was the occasion for a great ovation from the undergraduates, who marched to the field behind a band.
