tsFEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Nov. 1S-Foot'
ball is in the very air in this pretty New
England town tonight and on the eve OF
the great Yale-Harvard game the corridors
OF the principal hotels are filled to over
flowing with enthusiastic followers of the
blue and the crimson. Every train arriv-
ing at Springfield to-day had no vacant
seats, every room at the Massasert, Glen
down, Cooley and Haynes hotels were en-
gagged some time ago and tonight man
with cot considers himself lucky. 1t Is
astonishing how this annual contest be-
tween the college gladiators stirs this manu-
featuring district to its very center Trade
is practically abandoned and everybody
discourses the probabilities of great strug-
gle on the morrow. Although Yale is a
great favorite in the betting, 1t is astonish-
ing how confident well-informed people are
in Harvard's ability to put up very stiff
game at Hampden Park tomorrow, and
here and there YOU will find man sanguine
enough to predict that Yale may get taste
of the medicine prescribed for her in 1890
when Dean and Lee eluded Yale's tacklers
and sent the wearers of the blue from the
fields with heavy hearts.
Yale a Very Strong Favorite.
Yale's following is of the strongest kind
and some bets were made during the even
ing that Harvard would not score. Giant
Hefrelf1nger, Billy Rhodes, ex-Captain Nc
Chung and other great players in former
years, who have been coaching Yale for
some time past, are perfectly satisfied with
the men and regard success as certain as the
sun Will rise in the east tomorrow.
The Yale eleven LETT New Haven early in
the afternoon and took up their quarters at
the school for Christian Workers on State
street. Beside the regular team there were
between i5 to 20 substitutes and the coach
ers, Hartwell, Bull, Harvey and McClung.
Mrs Val er Camp also came to town with
her huSband's pupils and went to the Mas
sasert Honse. In addition to players and
substitutes, the Yale manager brought four
luboers and a doctor. The report that L.
Bliss had spralned his knee and would be
unable to play is exaggerated.
Alter supper Captain Mccormick brought
his men down town so that they might
have some recreation and diversion before
going to bed. They spent an hour or so
chatting with the crowds that throng the
hotel corridors. Captain Mccormick said
he wanted to keep an eye on end rusher
Hinekley, because that young man was
known on one occasion to go off by himself
and eat II fried eggs, "a waffies and iour
quarts of lemonade.
How They Will Line Up.
The team that will represent Yale to-
morrow will line up as follows: Hinckley,
left end; Winters, left tackle: McCrea, left
guard; Stillman, center; Hickok, right
guard; Walland, right tackle: Greenway,
right end; Mccormick, Quarterback: c. o. |
Bliss right half back, and Butterw orth, full |
back
The Harvard eleven ar riv ed in town some-
W hat later than the Yale team, and took up |
their quarters at tue Morris House, on |
Maple street. They brought with them
from Cam bridge a full line or rubbers. mas. |
seurs and cooks, in addition to coachers and |
countless substitutes. Every player seems |
TO be in good physical condition and in q |
pleasant frame of mind. There is no nerv-
BUSINESS to be noticed about the Harvard i
men, and Yet overconfidence is far from
prevalent. Cap ain Tratford said last night |
| hat his eleven would line up against Yale
at EampdeE Park tomorrow III this order:
Emmons, left end: Upton, left tackle;
MacNie, left guard; Lewis, center; Waters,
right guard; Newell, right tackle; Halo
we'll, right end; Trafford, quarterback; Gray
and Lake, hall backs. and Brewer, fullback |
Harvard men feel confident that Yale will
have all she can do to defeat them 1t is
said by those who ought to know, that
Harvard's team play has greatly improved
since the last game she played aud that her
in ter ierenee will probobly astonish Yale. |
