New Haven, Nov. lS.-This city Is in
gala attire for the reception of the thou
| sands who will tomorrow afternoon cheer
their favorites of the college football he
roes in the last match of the season.
Although Harvard's teams, freshmen
and varsity, who will play here tomor-
row, are quartered at Meriden. twenty
miles distant, there must De few of their
supporters with them, judging from the
large number of Crimson flag followers
here.
Capt. Chamberlln, of the Yale eleven,
announced this as the lineup for his team
| tomorrow: Left end Hubbell: left tackle.
Stillman. left guard. Brown; center. Cut
ten; right guard, Marshall; right tackle,
Capt Chamberlin right end, Eddy; quar-
terback, Ely; left halfback, Durston;
right halfback, Dudley; fullback. Mcbride.
1T has been settled that Mcbride will
start the game at fullback," said Capt.
Chamberlin. That player is the only
member of the eleven who is out Of con-
dition. He may not last the game out.
Dudley is feeling. all right, and should
put up strong game. Coy's bad shoulder
will keep him out of the game. Hubbell
| will play, although suffering from a cut
on his head"
DR.. Hull, trainer of the team, said:
II fail to see how the eleven players
who will line up against Harvard, ex-
cepting Mcbride, could be in better phys
ical condition"
Betting tonight IS feeble, compared with
the usual amount incident TO the night be-
fore a big game. Backers of both elevens
are afraid, and both want odds. little
Harvard money has been put up at nS-
ures of to T. This is the first time in
| Harvards history when her football
eleven followers would give any ODDS
whatever on the team.
There Is now little doubt that former
Coach Butterworth has typhoid fever.
With a short signal practice, the Yale
players rounded out their seasons work
this afternoon. For half an hour the
team went through its plays. For about
ten minutes Dupee took Townsend's place
at fullback and Schweppe Eddy at end
Half an hour more was given TO catch
ing punts.
Mcbride was out and worked at full
back In the punting, but did not go
through the signal practice. AS was
stated yesterday, neither Mcbride, De
Saulles. Benjamin nor Gilmore. all vet
erans, will be able TO go into the game be-
cause of injuries.
After the hours work today the football
squad tore off their shin pads. loose
straps and padding. and made bonfire OF
them in the center of the gridiron. The
players formed circle around the flames,
singing as they danced around. The sub
stitutes will need no more pads this sea-
son and the varsity will have new ones
for tomorrows game.
This evening the players, including the
regular team and a dozen substitutes,
went to the college infirmary on Prospect
Hill. This is in a retired section OF the
city and the players were taken out of
the excitement incident to the night be-
fore a big game. The players will be
cared for at the New Haven House to-
morrow. Some of them will attend reci-
tations and the squad will meet at II
o'clock for final signal drill in the
gymnasium. They will lunch at noon and
Immediately dress in the gymnasium for
the game They will leave the gymna-
SUM at 1:i5 for the Yale field in two
special cars.
The rain and warm weather of the
past few days have made the gridiron at
the Yale field muddy and heavy. This
afternoon a gang of men was set at
work covering it with straw to keep it
dry.
Ninety electric cars will be kept flying
between Yale field and the center of the
city tomorrow and fourteen special trains
will bring the crowd here. They will all
arrive between 10 and l o'clock. The
gates of the Yale field will open at noon
and the game begin promptly at o'clock.
