Hampered by a rash of injuries in the heavyweight classes. Harvard will be hard-pressed to win its second Ivy League match of the season, a match that could prove crucial in the February rush for the Ivy title.
Cornell's main strength, like the Crimson's, is in the middle weights, 150 through 167 pounds. To win, Harvard must take at least two of these bouts, then get outstanding performances from its battered heavyweight crew. The odds are definitely against this happening.
Lee talked to Dave Scanlon (190) yesterday at his home in New Hampshire where he is recovering from a boil on his leg. Scanlon's lower right leg has swelled considerably as a result of the boil, and he will not be able to walk until next Monday or Tuesday...

Colin Mangrum will start at 158 lbs. instead of Dean Sheppard. Sheppard, unsuccessful in three outings, is going down to the 150-pound weight category. Mangrum will face either Dave Ouellet or John St. John.
