Big Green Ruggers Favored in Today's Match With Crimson

It will be Zulu war-cries versus Indian whoops on the House football field at 10:30 this morning, as the Crimson ruggers open their home season against the Big Green.

With a 3-0 record, Dartmouth probably rates as the strongest team in the East this fall, but despite its 0-1 mark the Crimson has as good a chance as anyone of keeping the Indians from an unbeaten season.

The ruggers should have a stronger backline today than the one which showed rather ineffectually against Wall Street last Saturday, and will be trying to play an open game. Dartmouth's strong point is its powerful scrum, however, so the outcome may well depend on the Crimson forwards' ability to get a fair share of the ball for their three-quarters.

The Crimson has won the last three meetings between the two teams.
