> In just a week Harvard and Yale vii
battle on Soldiers Field. Not since III
memorable season OF '93, when tin
: crimson eleven went to Springfield,
decked out in new, slippery leather suit
has there been such feeling of conf
dence among Harvard men. When tn
Harvard men become enthusiastic owe
their athletic teams they don't enthus,
by halves. 1t can safely be said tha
there is not a man in Harvard to-da,
who does not expect to see the traditiona
enemy sent back to New Haven humili
ated and crestfalen. Everywhere We
find this optimistic spirit. From two tc
three touchdowns are predicted for Har
ward, and not few are claiming that
Yale will not even score. A small pro.
portion, perhaps, through confident OF
Harvard's victory, are inclined to think
that the Ellis are up to one of their foxy
tricks; that the poor showing that has
been more or less affected, and that the
18th of November will bring forth Il
Yale team disciplined in the good old
Yale way, which will surprise and even
defeat the crimson.
Yale has turned again to the silent
captain who guided her to victory in the
palmy days of her great accomplish
ments. Frank A. Hinkey has been
asked to 60 to the rescue of the New
Haven aggregation. His brother Louis
is trying his best to put life into the fall
tering sons of Old Eli, and through him
has arrived an invitation to the famous
ex-captain to come to the rescue The
message is backed by the Yale foot ball
authorities, but Napoleon will refuse to
60. He will talk but little of the matter,
but it is understood that his refusal is
based on the fact that he is now manager
of the Hinkey hardware establishment
that he is member of the Tonawanda
Common Council, and that his large
business interests will not permit him to
accept Ya!e's offer
Charley Gcibert, half-back at PennsyI-
vania last year, strained his ankle severe
ly a few days ago, and will not be able to
resume his place on the Duquesne Ath-
letic Club for week at least.
The Warren foot ball team have two
games on hand this week. On Wednes-
day they will play the University OF
Pennsylvania Law School and on Satur
day they will have one of the hardest
games of the season, when they line up
against the strong Upland team, which
on Saturday week gave them their first
defeat in four years. But they won't
fool the Warren boys again as they know
what they are up against and have been
practicing hard for their game, and ex-
pect to give the Upland team dose of
their own medicine.
The crack High School team will leave
here tomorrow to go to Chester, where
they play the strong High School team of
that city. As the local boys have been play
ing very strong game, they expect to
take a scalp from their rivals; and to en-.
courage the boys there ought to be a
good crowd 60 along with them. A
large delegation Of the boys and girls of
the school will accompany them, and
they expect to havea chance to exercise
their voices. This means that they ex-
pect their team to win. Good luck to
you, boys.
W. T. Bull, the Carlisle coach, has this
to say Had Hudson, the quarterback
of the Indian team, carried out instruc-
tions to the letter it is impossible, in
view of the fine defense OF his play
mates, to see how the Quakers during
the first interval of the game could have
scored a single touchdown. Right
through the first half Pennsylvania
could only make apprcciable gains
by the quarterback trick, while
the Indians, with a nice wind
at their backs persisted in throwing
away golden opportunities on the first
down, which would have resulted in
placing the ball in safe territory. There
is no kick coming from you, Mr.. Bull, as
the Indians played the best game OF the
year. You can't blame Hudson for he
made your points, and if he had done
this and done that is another thing. You
ought to be proud Of him, not blame him.
