Cambridge, Mass, Nov 23.-Some-
thing like $4,000 graduates, under grad
uates and football enthusiasts from all
parts of New England, fiocked into
Cambridge today, prepared to brave
snow, rain, or clustering winter wind,
in order to see the match on Soldiers
field this afternoon between the hither-
to unbeaten elevens of Harvard and
Yale.
The followers of Yale, as they had
been for some time, seemed very conf
dent that they would win while to a
man every under graduate at Harvard
had an air of serenity and was strong
IN the belief that the team representing
/ the crimson would carry out President
Roosevelts admonition and fight to the
very last ditch.
The betting was in favor of Yale at
odds of about to a. A number of
these bets however had strings to them
by reason of the report last night that
Cults the big Harvard tackle might be
ruled out of the game because of his
salaried connection with athletics at
the Haverford Academy, Pennsylvania
The crowd began to gather quite
early, large number of old graduates
coming during the early forenoon and
congregated at the different club houses
and the rooms of many of the students

The athletic committee after taking
the testimony of Coach Reid, Barrett
team, and Prof. Douglas Adams. who
was a teacher with Cults al HaVerford
college, decided that the charge of pro-
fessionalism did not hold in the case of
Cults. 1t is understood that an affi-
davit given by Mr. CroSsman, principal
of the Haverford grammar, to the effect
that. Cults was employed purely as a
teacher of mathematics and received no
compensation for work done in the
gymnasium, or in physical culture, de-
cided the matter. The gates of Soldiers
field were opened just after noon and
the stream of spectators began to flow
in at once. The wind, blowing from the
northeast, was raw and piercing. The
Harvard team reached the locker build
ing at 12:45 and the Yale team came
soon after. PartisanS gave the players
a hearty welcome.
Before the teams had been at prac-
tice a minute. it was seen that the
footing was very uncertain and muddy.
