Moreover, the Crimson is at full strength for the first time this year today and will undoubtedly start off with the famous "pony backfield" of last year in the lineup, with the ever reliable Crickard in reserve.

In this event it would probably be Devens and Crickard in one pair and Mays and Schereschewsky in the other. Then there still would be Batchelder and Record or Forbes for a third combination...
