Comparison of the Yale and Harvard
 Teams. Man for Man.
 On the eve of what promises to be the most exciting foot ball game in re- cent years. q comparison of the liar l ward and Yale elevens. man for man,
 k of interest. II has already been set forth that Yale has tne, heavier team and that Harvard possesses superior speed. So far as veterans go Harvard has q slight advantage.
 Harvard's back field is conceded to ] he the sfinest in the country. Ellis. at | fullback. Sawin and Kendall at half back and Captain Daily at Quartr- back. have been pronounced by compe- tent critics the most effective combi- nation that has been seen on q foot ball gridirOn in many years. There is no quarterback to-day who can ap- prOach Daily in general play. The Harvard captain is an expert general. i'll fact he is without peer ill directing his team and discovering the weak points in opponents. He believes in speed and the whole principle of liar wards play has been framed accCrd- inglY. Tn passing the ball Daily has q | llnacl of hiding it so cleyerly that it l is extremely difficult to find out who has received the oval until after the in l reference has bent back the wings of the opposing rush line or holes | have been burst open in the center and guards. In catching kicks and run ming the ball back through broken field. Daily is q host in himself. He iS also a magnificent punter and a wonderful tackler for his weight. He is not heavy. but is taller than the av- craze quarterback and rather bOyish in appearance.
 i If Captain Daily goes through the game without receiving an injury Har- ward is bound 10 play up to the handle
 but with Daily a cripple on the side lines the Crimson eleven is liable to
 go to pieces. Sawin and Kendall arc not eXc2llod by any halfbacks in the eastern colleges. Sawin is a tall
 sprnter and has a cool head when fol
 flowing his interference He can punt
 i'll a pinch and is also a fair drop kick
 CT. Kendall is q heavyweight and a
 corking runner either at the ends o1
 in hurdling the line. He is equally
 effective on the defensive and is a rug
 gel fellow. capable of standing any
 amount Cf hard work. Ellis, is great
 line bucker He has always diStin
 guished himself in this style of play
 In fact. he stands at the head of his
 class and is one of Harvard's ole
 stand-bys. He can punt and is also
 an expert at handling kicks.
 Eaton the other Harvard tackle
 who will face Stillman. had taste
 of it last year. Eaton is short anC
 thick set and is not the player tha
 Stillman is. It would not be at al
 surprising therefore, if Yale attacks
 should be directed chiefly at Eaton Harvard's ends, Campbell and HalloW ell. are conceded to be the best play
 ing foot ball. They were away ahead } of all ends last year. Both are sprint ) CTS. and have shown remarkable abil itv in getting down under kicks. Thei1
 experience has taught them to worl
 in conjunction with Daly's punts witl
 such skill that it has been nearly i'm Dossible for opponents to run kick' hack. FumbleS are most always fath ) with these two flyers coming down tht field in whirlwind style. and for tba reason the Yale coaches have practi callv decided to displace Wear witt
 Fincke.
