CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.
The Harvard Team is in Splendid Physical
Condition.

Condition.
Meriden, Conn.,, November 49, BY ten
O'Clock tonight the Harvard football
players were bundled off to bed to dream
of tomorrow's great contest and victory.
They are all fit and ready, in the pink of
oon dition and eager for the fray. They
were not boastful or over confident, but
still they all expect to win. They realize
that it will take all the strength and skill
they can summon to defeat Yale in her
own bailiwick. Charlie DAILY, the little
quarter back. said tonight: "We'll win,
because we've got to win,'' and that ex-
pressed the sentiment OF the whole eleven
from Captain Dibblee down.
Head Coach Eorbes said: sit will take
the hardest kind of football to wir tomor-
row. but he, too, expects victory.
There will be no changes in Harvard 8
inedup from that which played in the
pennsylvania game, though Farl y and
Lawrence are expected to replace Coch-
rane and Warren respectively before the
game has progressed far. Harvard will
abandon all attempts to gain on end
plays If Yale's tackles prove too fast and
confine her attacks to the center pluug-
ing of Beal, Dibblee, Reid and Warren.
Warren will be used largely at the start
of the game for line buckinR and will
give way to Lawrence at the first sign of
exhaustion.
Coaches and players alike are confident
of victory, basing their opinion on the
fine physical condition OF the men, the
speed of the play. tho strong array of
at all worn out and her superior kicking

New Haven, November 1S.-The city to-

morrow, is surcharged with excitement
and the stores all brilliantly Illuminated
and handsomely decorated with profusion
of deep blue and bright crimson. lend an

careful scheIning the speculators have had
hard row to hoe and tonight they are
trying hard to dispose of their tickets at
face value.
The Yale field gridiron is tonight as
smooth as billiard table and in perfect
condition. There Is but very little betting
thus far and Harvard money is going
offered at the New Haven house this eve

money was taken.
One of the Yale coachers who refused to
be quoted in any way. said this evening
that the ooachers were well pleased with
the improvement of the players this week.
Said he:
'sThe Yale eleven is III good physical
condition, much better than week ago,
though they are not in perfect form. Still
we are satisfied with it, You may say
that despite one defeat we feel sure that
the men will put up even better fight
than they did down at Princeton. I feel
confident thatSYale has an even chance of
winning the game, in fact T. feel con-

MERCEDES MAY BE RAISED

Santiago, Noyem her 1a.-Lieut. Young
of the converted yacht Hist, reports that
1t is practicable to raise the former
Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes, sunk in
June near the entrance of Santiago har-
Dor during the engagement between Ad.
miral SIMPSONS warships and the
Spanish marine and lard batteries.
He found that she had been sunk by
opening her sea valves; that her bottom
is in other respects in good condition and
that by simply plugging the valves she
can be easily pumped dry and raised. The
hull is now resting upon the edge of the
bank with about 10 feet overhanGiug. A
southwest gale would roll her into the
channel, effectively blocking the entrance
to the harbor.

There was a reYulsion of feeling to-
Gay at the opening among wheat trad
! ers from the extreme bearishness that
prevailed in the last half hour of yes
| terday's session. It did not last long
after the opening, and was succeeded
py fresh spasm of weakness. Inc
! strength at the start was partly the
result CT discovering the righteousness
OF the Rothschilds canard that scared
the holders Of long wheat the previous
afternoon and that a state of war viz
tually existed. In addition to that, the
Liverpool market was again higher.
The reaction that followed the open
ing bulge was the renewed expression
OF the prevailing sentiment among the
most active OF the local heavy opera
tors, that wheat is much too high in
view OF the fine prospects for next
harvest

with ITO last year. Minneapolis and
