FOOT BALL.
TO.Day's Great Game Between Harvard and
Yale Promises to Be Pretty Contest.
Both Clubs on the Ground Ready For
the Fray.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, November 23-
Leaden skies and an aspect for tomorrow
blue enough TO please even the most en-
thusiastic Yale men was the rule tonight.
The predictions, however, for tomorrow
are fair and warm.
The Yale team, with its coachers and
few heelers, arrived at $3.50 on a special
train.
As soon as the players had looked about
they were sent of TO the athletic field
which is connected with the school and
exercised for half an hour. The eleven
will spend the night but a short distance
| from their blue-legged rivals on State
street.
There is one point, and an interesting
one, wherein the game here differs from
! tue large majority Of other foot oall games
and that is in the slight difference found In
| the weight and physical condition Of the
men, which tends 70 make the game more
/ scientific than il otherwise would be.
Tonight every foot ball enthusiast is
making comparisons OF the teams The
eleven which will line up tomorrow for the
! blue mas nine players Of last years team,
! and are thoroughly conversant with each
| other. On the contrary but five Of the
| Harvard team are last years men. The
! Yale adherents are putting great faith Ia
the strength Of the centre and the probable
star playing of Butterworth behind the
! line. They argue that Stlllman, Hickok
! and McCres are invinCiole, and that Har-
ward will find il almost impossible 10 get
| through The claim is not unreasonable
| for Harvard found last year that these
| same men were like adamant
These are the main hopes OF the I ale
men outside Of the excellent condition OF
\ the team 10 general.
But II Yale adherents are confident, the
confidence is met equally on the Har-
/ ward side While IL is admitted that the
! Shaw brothers may be little weaker so
! far as physical coalition goes, than the
men on the line opposite, there is the old
PLAYER Mscke 10 stand opposite Hickok,
! and the claim is made tnat the Shaw boys
| are well up 10 the peculiar interference icr
| which Lewis is celebrated and in which
/ be has instructed them. Confident asseT-
! tions are rads that Wrenu Al quarter W
put up a better game than Adee, and thar
! Brewer and Nrightington az the nalfs Will
/ by overbalancing the Yale backs, over
/ come the difference in favor Of Butter
worth, Of Yale, az full back. Fairchild at
/ full back for Harvard, IS said 70 kick very
well aud he will get some good assistance
| ia bringing back Butterworth's punts from
\ C. Brewer and WrlghtingtOn.
! There is little or no betting here, simply
! because very few Harvard men have made
| their appearance. The odds tonight are b
! 70 3 that Yale will win aud even money
! that Harvard will not score.
