YALE MEN GROWING CONFIDENT
AMOUR s<TURDAYS GAMh.

to be played at Soldiers Field. Cambridge.
next Saturday. Men who have studied the
work OF these two elevsns since the present sea-
son opened cannot see how Harvard can be
beaten. YaIe's defeat at the hands oil Column
ba was setback that convinced almost every
body In the football world that the New Haven
team was far below the standard; while the
consistent work tho Harvard eleven In almost
every game except that with Dartmouth last
Saturday has been conclusive proof that tho
Crimson 10 almost as well represented this ysar
as last. Among Yale men. and especially tho
coaches. however. there Is a feeling OF increased
confidence which was not manifest two weeks
ago. Those who are In close touch with foot
balls affairs at New Haven are averse to max
Ing public prophecies. but among themselves
and to their intimate friends they have been
saying within the past few days that the Yale
eleven. when It limos up against Harvard will
not be such an easy mark as the general pre-
dIctious would have It. These Yale enthusiasts
are figuring on close game. They believe
that the Harvard eleven has been overrsted
and that I. will go upon tho gridiron overcon-

the coaches who have been working with the
Yale eleven since the victory scored by Column
bia have 80 greatly improved the style Of play
that when tn. team is pushed to the limit by
Harvard there may be a surprise In store for
the thousands OF specta'srs who will go to
Soldiers Field looking for a Crimson tri-
umph. Yale's big scoro against Pennsy!-
vania State College on Saturday was
an Indication OF marked improvement In
the playing OF the Varsity since the
small army OF coaches have taken hold OF II.
