F0OTBALL TEAMS.
Men from College ON the Hill Not In
Good Condition-Lsnsd snd stin
After Andover Game.

Brown plays Harvard today at Cam
bridge for the first time in the history
OF football nc this college. Az many az
l5o ST. dents are expected to accompany
the team and Lelp by their cheering 10
encourage the men. The general expec-
tation has been, both In Provide ncs and
at Cambria re, that Brown would give Har-
ward tie hardest rub OF any team before
the Yale game. Some even expected
Brown to score. The Andover game,
however. knocked out the men 20 that
now only three are In perfect condition
to play. II is doubtful II Captain Hop
kins will be able to play on account OF
his bad leg. Millard Is still suffering
from the blow on the head received in the
Audover game Donovan has -
twisted neck, Colby has bad
shoulder and may not be able TO play for
week At least, while all the three centre
n en-, 8 NTH. Coombs and Hastings. are
some what disabled and will not DO able
to put up their usual game. The team
will probably be the same that lined up
at Andover but the men are 30 crippled
that the chances are that Harvard will
roll up as big a score against Brown as
did Yale against Williams.
During the last two days only light
practice has been indulaed In, mostly
practising the signals aud team work
" sterday the mon were moved around
considerable, Wott being tried at half.
