MAKEUP OF THE TEAM
Cambridge, Mass. Nov. l. (SpeciaD.-The annual
football game between Harvard and Yale. the
greatest athletic contest OF the year at both uni
versi;es. will be played Soldiers Field here to-
morrow at p Cambridge is astir tonight and
student life is dominated by football and its ac-
cessories. The team about which hover Harvard
sentiment and hopes IN this hour OF excitement
went through its practice as usual this afternoon
The work however. was very light, and consisted
chiefly OF twenty minutes OF running through sig
mails; punt outs were practised. the team ran
short distance to timber up, and then went to the
locker building. The substitutes ran through sig
nals also, and later lined up TO receive the kick
off. After the work Hallowel stayed behind 10
kick and sawin TO try drops from the field Burnett
also kicked. with Hallowell holding the ball but
was not very successful. Lawrence practised goals
also and will be used tomorrow to kick any goals
from possible touchdowns. as he is accurate on
short distances
Boal, left guard. will not play because OF an in
jury TO his chest received in the Pennsylvania
game and aggravated in practice on Wednesday II
Is strange that he should have lasted unharmed
three seasons only 10 have been hurt in his fourth
and what promised to be his best But this loss IS
not expected materially to affect Harvards chances
as Sargent has improved wonderfully this year
Ihis lineup IL, with the minor exception OF Sar-
gent. regarded as the best talent Harvard could
put In the field this year. The men who play are
not only the best men in their places but they
are IN the best possible physical condition. Camp
oeIl and Hallowell are IIarvard's best ends, and
perhaps Tomorrow night they may be regarded
as the best ends in the country. No pict-
ure how Donald and Lawrence can be pushed back
down the field. and Burnett IS the most
worthy player on the team. Captain Burden and
Brown, of Yale. will have Interesting tussie.
Sargent VIII have not only his merits a
player to back him, but the support and steadying
influence OF Donald and Burnett on either side OF
him. Back OF the line Sa win, Ellis and DAILY have
not their equals in college, but there is doubt
TO Kendals superiority over Warren. Some
perts intimate that Warren should be substituted
for Kendall early in the play possible The
lineup however, satisfies. and the known strength
OF the gives confidence. Harvard's offence
should make the NewHaven men shiver and her
defence should prevent more than one touchdown
by Yale.
In Kicking, Harvard must yield to Yale. and
will depend her strong rushing pays-those
through the nne-as they are expected TO Offset
McBride's kicking. To II all up, Harvard is
confident Of winning tomorrow. Her team is not
we'll rounded as last years but It has as much
team play and greater strength OF both offence
and defence. The players are confident. and to-
night are cheerful and lively and fun Of song.
The students and all other Harvard men appear
to feel tonight that the team cannot help win
ming. Trainer McMasters says. and he hit the
Pennsylvania score exactly, that Harvard viii
win II TO O. He represents the general impression
in Cambridge tonight.
