Harvard started the game without the
services of Capt. Cabot, Richardson
taking his place at left end. Swain,
who played against Yule at left tackle,
was replaced by Wheeler. Mills and
Haughton alternated in Donald's uosi-
tion at right tackle. Warren's position
at right half back was ably filled by
Parker.

Yale presented a team which was, as
far as physical shape is concerned. as
nearly perfect as it is possible to get II
men, and right there Yale showed a
superiority over her rival from New
Jersey. Princeton, on the other hand,
had four men who were easily crippled,
and whose liability to injury detracted
