NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Tomorrow. for
the first time this season, elevens of
the Big -Four" will meet on the grid
iron. Pennsylvania and Harvard will
be the contestants and the whole foot
ball world will have its eyes on Cam
bridge until the result is known. Among
experts opinion generally faVors the
Quakers, though it is admitted that the
crimson will make a hard fight, and
before the game begins odds are likely
to be even. Additional interest at
taches to the game as the result Of a
report that the Harvard men have
new defensive play that is expected to
break up the guards back formation
upon which Pennsylvania so largely
depends
The practice at Cambridge has, of
course, been secret for the last few
days, and the large patches Of inside
Information" which emanate from the
crimson C9G11nIlS D1USt he taken with
the usual amount of salt. The Quak ers
pre- practicing where no curious eye can
penetrate. 1t is said that Coach Wood
ruff has decided to present practically
the same lineup and formation as that
which met the University of Chicago
team last Saturday. There is a pos
Bibility that, although the team will be
left intact, the men will be changed
around slightly. Whatever transfer
nation it will be will remain a mys-
terry until the men face the crimson.
The most conservative critics say
that Pennsylvania will outclass Har-
ward in the line. In Overfeld, Nc
Cracker, Hare or Outland, Carnett and
Goodman, Penn has set of men that
would be hard to match on any grid
iron. There is not a pound OF super
fiuOus flesh in the whole aggregation,
and neither are any of them light
weights. Still, at center Dousette
should certainly outclass Overfield. At
left end Pennsylvania VIII miss Boyle,
unquestiOnably one Of the great ends
among last years eleyens. Howell
will try to fill Boyle's shoes, with what
success remains to be seen. His work
against Hamill, of Chicago, was not
severe enough to tax all his resources.
At the other end of the line will be
Hedges, who contributed in a large
measure to the defeat Of the crimson
last year. At quarter Weeks will be
missed. At full back Minds has left
a vacant place that certainly none of
his numerous successors has been able
to fill.
The condition Of the Harvard team
is really better than it ever has been
before on the eve of big game. Never
has a Harvard captain been able to
point to "a list of men in which he did
not have a cripple. In former times
the Cripple brigade" has been one Of
the big features of the Harvard aggre-
cation. Much of this has been as
cribed to the training methods Of Jack
MacMasters, who has become the au-
thCrity on everything relating to condi-
tlOn about Cambridge.
