HARVARD VS.. YALE.
Great Interest Centered in Today's
Football Game.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1S.-Though the
greatest interest is taken in the Yale
Harvard game of tomorrow, since
Princeton's fall-down before Pennsyl-
vania, yet the wearers of the orange and
black have not lost heart. They still
hope to beat Yale on Thanksgiving
day. The students at Princeton re-
ceived pleasant shock. They had been
kept from the field for two weeks, but
were admitted Yesterday. There at right
tackle, where he played all last season,
| stood Harold. Now every one is ask
ing themselves the squestion, Will it be
possible for the old tack to get in shape
in the week that remains of practice?
Princeton'S chances very largely depend
upon the solution of this problem.
Right tackle is the position that has
given Capt. King and his coaches the
most difficulty of the season. Davis,
TAYLOR, Flint and Lea have all been
tried for the place. Lea filed the bill
better than any man in college, but he Is
a much more valuable man at end play.
! Every effort has been made to get Har-
rold out to step into his playing shoes OF
| last year, but he steadily refused Oh ac-
count of press of college work. lie
changed his mind after the Philadelphia

paratory to the decisive contests at
! Springfield and New York.
The record made by each team is In
I teresting for comparative purposes. 1t
is as follows: Yale 447 points. oppo-
nents O; Harvards 3G5 points, ,opponen is

An obserVant man, and one who
makes football a careful study, re-
marked, as he watched the YaleS wal
| lop the Pennsylvania pets last Satur-
day: ''Do you know that think Yale
would do exactly the same with HaI-
ward as I've seen her do with these big
chaps this afternoOnW
Somebody replied that he did not be-
lieVe that Harvard was such an easy
mark as all that for the New Havenites.
| but it hadn't any effect upon the first
speaker, who said somewhat heatedly:
"NoW, allow me to know. | am i'll foot
| ball for living just at present, not as
player, but as a delineatOr of the game.
came from Boston, and over there we
have plenty of opportunity to study
Harvard's play. have been out at
Cambridge and have seen the reds
do their prettiest III practice as
in regular play. And all Eve got
to say is this Yale has three chances
to one of doing Harvard, and my money
| is going on ner, although my sympathies
| are with the Cambridge clan. The inter-
ference tactics put up by the blues are
simply out of sight. And where can
you find sprinters to outrun Laurie
Bliss and his brother, and Hinkey and
Mccormack? 1t will be cold, clammy
day for Harvard when your bluestock-
inged gang goes up against her next
Saturday. Hear mel Pm shouting"
The speaker surely was vociferating,
but there is not any doubt that he knew,
or felt that he knew, what he was talk
ing about. He is graduate of Harvard
and a writer Of sporting events for one
of Boston's leading dailies. With a
reputation for shrewdnesS and good
| Judgment, his deductions count for
quite a little. Of course he may be
wrong in his estimate of YaIe's prowess,
but he has had the advantage of watch
ing Harvard very sharply, and what his
! conclusions are after sizing up Yale's
game with Pennsylvania carry with
them no inconsiderable weight.
