YALE VS.. HARVARD.


Working-TheM Men Who Will Play
Yale the stronger Team-Special
Trains.
The interest in the great Yale Harvard
football game which takes place at Spring |
field tomorrow is now almost at fever |
heat and steadily increasing, and it is GER |
tain that should the day prove pleasant |
an unusually large crowd Of spectators will
be in attendance. Every movement of |
each team is being closely watched, as
changes in the teams at this late day are
of the greatest Importance. The game
promises to be one of the hardest and |
most closely contested struggles in the his |
tory of college football, one in which both
science win play a prominent part, and
which will be well worth the trouble and |
expense of travelling long distance to wit
ness. Both colleges have all the season
been in active preparation for the great
contest, and each team will make a very
determined effort to carry off the laurels.
The outlook for Yale's success was not
at the beginning of the season either
bright or encouraging, there being but
five players on the team on whom any
dependence could be placed. At the very
first game Yale realized that much must
be done in order to secure a team that
would keep up the reputation of the col
lege on the football field, and not being
slow to recognize this fact, they
at once went to work to strength
en- their eleven. The results of
their efforts are to be seen in the
work Of the team at present. In spite of
the inferiority of the game put up by the
e IL Ii of
the season, the constant, steady improve
ment of the team has been much more
marked and rapid than that of Harvard,
so that to-day the Yale team is considered
by the best judges to be in all respects
equal, if not superior, to the Crimson
team.
h A vast amount of the credit for the
present high standing of the eleven is
due to the indefatigable work OF Captain
Rhodes, who has devoted all his time and
constant attention to the work of his men,
practicing them on every available oppor-
tunity and teaching them all the points,
which he, in his larger and more extern
siye experience has become master of.
Altogether the makeup of the team is
strong and there is not the slightest doubt
that they will render good account of
themselves tomorrow at Hampden park.
The men who will struggle to bring the
blue in ahead will probably be Rhodes
(captain) right tackle, Heffelfnger left
guard, Holcomb center, S. Morrison right
guard, Wallis left tackle, Hartwell left
end, Crosby right end, Barbour, quarter
back, McClung and Bliss half backs, Har-
vey full back
The composition of the Harvard team is
generally known and may be relied upon
to put up stiff game. The one great
fault of the team is their kicking, or rather
the lack of it. More attention has been
given in practice to rushing and tackling,
and less to kicking. The effects of this
work is very exhausting upon the men. In
all other respects the team is good one
and capable Of playing game with Yale
which will be one Of the most vigorous and
closely contested ever known.
The probable makeup of the wearers of
the crimson will be: Cumnock (captain)
right guard, Finley left guard, Cranston
| center, Shea right tackle, Hallowell right
end, Dean quarter back, Lake and Corbett
half backs, and B. Trafford full-back. The
substitutes will be Lee, Fearing, Sherwin,
Crosby and Mason. This eleven is I'M
| doubtedly the strongest Harvard has been
able to put in the field for several years
and is one which will make the wearers of
the blue hustle to bring the victory back to
':good old Yale"
