ESPECIAL TO THE NEWS I

~YHtNGFIELD, Nov. 14-On Saturday
next at Hampden Park the pig-skin will
have its day and the great annual contest
between the Harvard and Yale football
teams will be waged. Never before ia the
history of college football have the hon.
ors been 80 evenly divided, and never be-
fore has the game been played so we'll as
il has been during the present season.
The throngs that will crowd Hampton
Park will be a sight worth going miles
to see Special trains viii be run fro
as far west AS Chicago. aud delegations
from every New England college will
witness the game besides men from
Princeton, Columbia. University of
Pennsylvania, Columbia aud the other
colleges OF the Middle States. There
have been 1880 seats provided, and a.
0O0 of these are numbered and reserved
like chairs IN an opera house.
Both sides appear to be confident Of
success but Harvard is conceded to have
the best material but there is a feeling
among some Of the university men that
the team msy Decomc over-Conhdent.
Harvard Is strong at center with Lewis
aud with Waters aud Mackie as guards
Upton and Newell are just "a good tack
iers as Winters ana Wallis of Yale
Hollowell and Emmons are as good men
Hiukey aud Norton.
Behl ud the rush line Harvsrd appears
to be much stronger than Yale. Thers is

and there is not a runner so fleet at Yale
or Princeton as Jim Lee. IL is n ques-
tioh whether Trafford will 40 as well at
quarterback as Vance Mccormick, the
Draily, alert captain of the Yale team
lie seems to be slow on his feet and in
passing, but when IL comes to "bucking"
the line, tackling and Kicking. Trafford
will do great things. Brewer will probs-
bly, play at fullDack. lie is a plucky
man.
If Yale's carefully planned system
works its generalshp will win the game.
Hard work has been had through this
year TO get suitable material to ill the
places vacateI by Hetfelfinger, Stanley,
Morrison and Josh Hartwell. Cross, a
promising Freshman, had To stop PLAYING
aud Sandford WAS transferred IRON cen.
ter, his old place, TO guard. Then Ives
the oarsman. was injured, and Hickox.
McCrea, Beard and others were tried for
right guard. Hickox, a strapping young
fellow and full of pluck, seems TO have
settled down 10 good work there.
Center, nowevea, gave lots of bother
McCorm elk settled on Still ilmau, tre-
mendous young chap, strong, earnest and
very willing 10 learn, but slow on his teet
aud apt to snap back poorly. Stillman
sticks to his work perseveringly, in spite
of the fact that he was continually taken
out of his place and tried elsewhere. Now
he seems To be realizing McCormIck's ex-
pectations, though IL can't be told what
he will do against Lewis Beard has
taken Sanford's place. Grenway is strong
at right cad.
Yale men feel that their team has the
best of chances to win at Springfield, but
not to the extent of giving better than
even money
