Harvards rush line on the whole is in
ferior TO her opponents, from lack OF
experience If from no other reason, there
being two freshmen, one, +. Shaw, at CEN
ter. another, j. Shaw, an absolutely new
man aI football, playing right guard.
ss- SfIIIJnan, the Yale center, II far superior
to Il. Shaw He is veteran in fact, OF
three years. good experience, lined up
against a boy of 1S. When the ball Is
once snapped ho is still in the game, not
loafng behind, as Is the case with so
many centers. Shaw has greatly improved
in his work from the first OF the season,
but lack of knowledge OF the game will
hamper him badly.
Mackie and Hickok ought to be pretty
evenly matched, size and weight cor
responding closely, while both have had
about the same amount OF experience.
4 Hickok, the champion hammer thrower,
has been reckoned the best guard in the
college world, while Mackie, who has had
four years experience, is acknowledged TO
be the better tackler, and Is a general
fnvorite at Harvard because OF his straight
forward style OF game.
McCrca rises up several inches above
j. Shaw but is of about the same weight
and is confessedly slow. Hinkey Is said
to have called him slower than an ice
wagon. He has the advantage over Shaw
and shoul2 prove to be the better player,
although Shaw holds In the line as il
anchored there.
Waters, who will play right tackle for
Harvard, was chosen captain at the be-
ginning of the year, but failed To have the
choice ratified by the athletic committee.
He will have Beard against him, out bal
ancing him in weight, and overtopping
him by several inches, but not a bit
stronger, nor nearly as quick. Both have
been used considerably for interference,
In which the superior quickness OF Waters
should count.
The other pair OF tackles, Hallowell OF
Harvard and Murphy of Yale, are hardly
up TO the standard of Waters and Beard
yet both are good men. Hallowell is taller
than his antagonist, but OF not so good n
physical build, and inclined TO watch the
man before him rather than to look after
the ball. Murphy Is second base on the
Yale nine, and consequently in the best OF
condition the year round. On the whole
1t Is nip and tuck between the two.
Greenway, Yale's right end, has won
the name OF the best end rush in the
country. A recent illness may keep him
out of Saturdays game. II so, l.. Hinkey
VIII be substItuted IN his place, although
q player several grades poorer. His
brother, Capt Hinkey, will care for the
other end OF Yale line. His play OF this
year Is not in the least inferior 10 his ex-
celient work OF last season. He is re-
markable for forcing into the interference
and spotting the ball. fast runner more
over and very aggressive in tackling.
Harvard ends are III. Brewer at right
and Captain Emmons at left. Brewer has
more the form ofa typical veteran player
than any man on the Harvard team. He
Will have the Yale captain before him and
although good runner and tackler, il
inferior TO the Yale star. Emmons will
have easy fruit II young Hinkey plays
against him, but with Greenaway il will
be another matter. He has the character
istics of amodel end and the benoht of
I. extensive experiences.
In the men back of the line, the Brown
players consider Yale TO possess a telling
advantage. Harvard has no one who can
equal Thorne. Last year he was nor
thought TO be phenomenon, bur since
that time he has forged ahead brilliantly
He bucks the line hard and swiftly il
quick in getting around the ends and his
