One OF the features OF the Harvard-Yale
game next Saturday will probably be the
physical condition OF the rival elevens which
have been prepared for the battle by former
Princeton trainers. Jack McMaster has al
ready made his reputation as an expert
trainer at Harvard. Since he took hold OF the
Crimson players the eleven has not INDUCED
in a single game In which It lacked good trim.
Jack took with him to Cambridge methods
that he had tested and perfected while at Old
Nassau and he has continued to improve upon
them ever since.
As Judge OF a mans true physical condition
and his capacity for work McMaster has
demonstrated that he Is at the top Of his pro-
tession. He enjoys the confidence OF both
coaches and players. which means that he has
not been hampered In his efforts to put the
Harvard Varsity in proper shape TO stand
