 getting stale Trainer McMasters has kept the players in excellent form ever since the Pennsylvania game, so that now they are on edge. The coaches refuse to say what they think the prospects are for Harvards win ming, but they do say that everything points to one of the hardest gridiron battles ever fought. and that the team is in first class condition to stand any kind of test
 Harvard is enjoying an unusual number of football games this week. Yesterday afternoon the Juniors won the class championship from the Sophomores in well contested game by Il score of Il to ,.

They have practically the same players who won the Harvard scrub championship this fall. Chamberlain. Yale's cap tain in 1S9S will referee the game. The Yale team arrived in Boston last night. All their expenses are paid by the Harvard management.
 President Roosevelt, who two years ago led the cheering for Harvard at the game with Yale, in reply to an in- vitation from the Harvard managers to attend Saturdays game, last night sent the following telegram:
 T regret more than can say that it is utterly impossible for me to come. Will you please give my good wishes to the team and say that am sure they can win and that I count upoi their playing without let-up from the first to the last"
 The betting on the Harvard ale game at the stock exchange yesterday was brisk and probably would have been more so but for the busy market. About $6,000 is said to have been wagered among the brokers, this rep resenting more Yale than Harvard money. because Yale has ruled the favorite at prevailing otds of 10 to s. One broker brought down $500 yester- day which he placed on Harvard, and remarked that he would have as much more to invest in the same way to- day, also remarking that Lit was q pipe for Harvard" Tomorrow will tell whether the pipe goes out before the game is over. In Boston q bet of a freak nature was made--1 to 10 that Yale will win by larger score than last year. This appears like picking up money in the street for the man giving the odds. Scores as one sided as last years happen about once in generation according to the liar vard- Yale records. Princeton games have produced more one-sided games than Harvard Yale games.

But since Harvard and Yale resumed their games in 1897 , 1t is standoff between them. Each has won game decisively and there have been two ties. Among the bets made in the game there is no record of one that the result will be q tie, and yet that has happened twice in the last | five years

 New Haven. Nov 22.-One of the most interesting features of the Yale practice yesterday afternoon was the action of the varsity men after the serimmage. They gathered about the center of the field in a ring. and depos- fting their bandages in heap, poured on Kerosene oil. and then joining hands. danced about the burning pile. After this all the seniors in the squad gathered and for the last time in their undergraduate careers sent up yell for Captain Gould. cheer for them selves and one for Eli Yale.''
