Yale and Harvard Game Tomorrow
should BE n Great One.

The final practice of Yae's foot ball
eleven yesterday afternoon. at New Haven.
Was the occasion for a demonstration in
Which l.2,D students participated. That
number marched to Yale field. a distance
Of more than mile.
AT > o'clock the under graduates assem-
hled with the student band and rehearsed
th.. songs for the game. Pop Hirsh, au-
thor of the ''Boola" chorus. led the singing
He stood the top rail of the fence and
led the crowd with a base ball bat. The
cheering leaders Captain Blagden of the
Yale crew; Alexander Cameron, jr.. and
six other athletes. with Hirsh. acted as
maTshals in the parade to the field.
The enthusiasm was great, and not for L
moment was there d lull in the singing
along the line of march. At the field the
cheering was deafening, the huge empty
stands ringing with the sound.
The varsity and the scrubs went through
Il spirited half of thirty-five minutes in
secret and a shorter public exhibition. The
work was not remarkable. but it was an
improvement over that of Wednesday. and
the coaches We're satisfied. They expect to
win. and admit it frankly. Any one who
recollected the 'varsitys practice of last
Monday would scarcely have believed it was
the same team that played yesterday.
But in the open work there was cause
for criticism on the very first play. The
varsity players were not expecting clever
run back of Hales Kickoff and Easton
yard line to midfield before the regulars
We're ready. Hale kicked off too hastily
but Coy threw Easton at center. Had he
passed Coy the field would have been clear
for a touchdown.
The scare this exhibition Of carelessness
gave the team shook them together, and
Sharpe. by end runs. and Boomer in
tackles back, put the ball back of the goal
posts in minute forty-eight seconds
Sharpe carrying it over. Tackles back never
worked better nor was it ever played with
more vim. Sharpe was tried at kicking a
field goal. several extra men being PLAYED
on the scrubs to break through the line to
block the kick, but Sharpe got the ball over
from the twenty-yard line.
For two minutes the varsity was played
on the defensive on their fiye-yard line
The scrubs failed to gain by their attack
and the ball went to the regulars on
downs. Hale punted to midield and Coy's
speed down the field was surprising. He
stopped Vanderpool. and IA second later
| caught the ball. This drew d round Of
cheering.
| After the team practice Sharpe kicked a
| field goal, standing thirty-eight yards from
| the posts. All the backs We're given half
an hour of catching punts after the scrm-
maging.
The team went through signal work on
formations today. So far as physical condi-
| ton is concerned. every man can stand ha rl
| work. No team could be in better form.
| Harvard Practices Mt Meriden.
| Having lett Cambridge yesterday morn
| Ing amid the cheers of the Harvard stu
dents the Harvard foot ball squad arrived
| in Meriden at noon. Pushing their way
! through the enthusiastic crowd which was
| at the station to greet them they went
| straight to their quarters at the Winthrop
! Hotel
| After lunch the players rested for an hour
and at 800 o clock dressed for the practice,
| which was held in Hanover Park. The
| work consisted of punting and catching OF
| punts for backs and line practice for line
| men. Sawin and Ellis did excellent puntins
| to DAILY and Kendall. while Lewis the
| coach, gave the linemen severe drill In
| lunging and quick starting. Following this
| came twenty-five minutes of signal prac-
| tice. for which the first team lined up as
| follows:
Left end. Campbell: left tackle Eaton;
| left guard, Lee, ceHter. Sergeant: right
| guard, Barnard, right tackle j. Lawrence:
| right end, Hallowell quarter back DAILY;
! left half back, SaWin: right half back Ken
| dali; full back, Ellis.
! In this practice the backs were slow at
| first. but soon gor off quickly as the line
| men, Ellis who OF in form for the
last two or three days. has improved, and
! yesterday was his toes, going through
! with the ball well. The three center men
plunged low and did excellent work.
The team seemed to be under perfect self
control and there was no 0fside playing
