YALEus NOT WEAK.

She VIII Show Up in Good Form at
 the Game To-Day-The Teams Are
 About Evenly matched-How the
 Elevens Will Line Up.
 It is safe to say that the interest which is eentersd in to-dsy's football game at Manhattan field, New York city, betwesn Yale and the University of Pennsylvania Is hardly second to that which is annually aroused over the big game at Springfield. The Yale team, with substitutes, rubbsrs, and large number of hselers, left for New York last evening, followed by several rousing cheers and the well wishes of c large number of students who gathered to see them of.
 It seems to be the general impression among football authorities that the two teams are pretty evenly matched. Ever since the University of Pennsylvania came so near beating Princeton last Saturday speculation has been rife ss to what the Quakers would be able to do with Yale. And aside from this there ia that little un- dergrsduats rule principle which will have to be fought out and it may be said right here that this last fact will spur each team on to greater effort. It is doubt full If there is any team in the country that Is as strong in- dividually as the Quakers. They have chosen their eleven from the whole country and 1t ought to be formidable, but whether or not they can show as good an article of scientific football is another question. It is undoubtedly the best team that Penn sylvania has ever gotten together, and con- sidering that many critics think that Yale is weaker this year than she has been be- fore in several years, 1t looks as If 1t were about the toss of cent to name the victor. Yale and University of Pennsylvania have played games for the past nine years and l each year Yale has been the victor. In | these games Yale has scored APO points to 1 15 by the Quakers. This shows more than | anything else how easily Yale has been her superior. But looking into this cry of Yale'e being lsmentably weak it will be seen that | it wants to be taken down with deal of salt. It Is we'll known that heretofore. ! whenever the news has been sent out about Yale being weak in her different athletic 1 teams, that the public have been surprised I to see how strong thsy were. Take, fol instance, the work of the crew last year the pitching of Carter and the osn
 ter of last years football team, which by the way is the same this year as last. Yale never turned out 8 better crew, Carter is the greatest pitcher tha
 the college world has ever seen, and tha
 weak center in the football team wal
 proven at Springfield last year to b.
 nothing but myth. The same howl Roel
 abroad this year about the center. It ii
 true that 1t has not shown up we'll, bu
 what team has been able to make Stillman
 Hickok and AcCres get up and hustle
 The trouble has been that these player
 have considered their places cinch ani
 therefore they have not worked as the,
 ought to, but o-dsy they will not be fount
 wanting. In the secret practice at thu
 field on Thursday the 'varsity failed te 1 show much weakness. On the colleg
 side there were five hslfbacks and tw,
 extra men in the line, but in spite of thi
 the ''scrubs' could not score. They played
 with lifs and snap and the interferenc
 went around the ends like big revolvin
 machine. Taking everything into con
 sideration no reason can be seen why tn
 Quakers should win or even score. Tn
 teams will probably line up as followss
