IL is useless 10 trace the Cause. Some
could and others could not have been
avoided.
Harvard was unfortunate enough 10 pnt
substitute elesens against the twe strongest
opponents, Amherst and Cornell, and some
OF these men even were so crippled as to he
unfit TO be on the lines as spectators. Add
to this that Cornell au,l Amherst have un-
usually COOL eleyens this year AMI The
reason is plain why the crimson showed up
SO poorly.
Bn. granting this, are the Harvard men

in daily practice, thing which has bter
/ impossible ap 10 this time, owing To st
many of the men being laid of from injd'
res and partly owing. too, TO the change

ent team may be expected at Springfield
next week from the one which line! NJ
against Cornell. The secret practice Of
nearly ten days will 90 much to perfect the
team.
Take the Harvard team individually. ans
the opinion here is that they are every bi
the equal of Yale. if not her superior. II
these men could only be coached into ale''
secret of team play they would make for
midable lot of men. Haryards backs are
excellent runners. good dodgers, and Lake
Is an admirable man to buck the line where
Yale is weak in her centre.
Newell and Hallowell will hold their si,lt
of the line up worthily- Emmops and Up
ton are not SO strong, and through lief
tackle and guard Yale will probably MAXI
many of her games. The centre is light il
Lewis, but heavy in both guards, and un
less Yale's reputed weakness at centre il
one of her characteristic bluffs, Harvard i,
as strong in that portion of the line as Yale
Even the best of arguments will fail now
and then. No one can expect tbe two teams
of today to be the same in excellence As
the two which will fight it out between then
next week, Desperation ought to urge
Harvard to the extreme of energy in pull
ing up her team.
Harvard's team which will line up against
Yale. barring accidents viii be as follows
Emmons, left end; pton. left tackle
Waters, left guard: Lewis. center; Acton,
right guard; Newell. right tackle: Halo
well, right end Traiford, quarter back
Lake and Gray, half backs, and Brewer
full back.
