The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-11-23

The Harvard team is exactly the same
as it played against Pennsylvania, with
the exception that Herman is at left half
back instead of Putnam.
The victory of the Harvard Law School
over Yale this afternoon and the enthu-
siasm throughout the college aroused the
students to confidence in their team.
Cambridge is decorated as never before
Every store in the square is flying colors,
the crimson, of course, predominating,
but with a goodly showing Of the blue
Many of the decorations are very elab-
crate. Even the old elms in the college
yard fly Harvard flags, and all the build
ings are decorated. Beck Hail. the dor
mitory where the most wealthy students
reside, has long streamers of crimson
bunting on each corner, on which the
Harvard cheer is printed In large white
letters. Around the building also are no
less than 800 Harvard flags. The car sta
ton of Harvard Square has arA immense
letter III on its front, Is feet high. which
is half red and half blue. Coach Reid
said tonight:
ST believe our team is stronger than 1t
was at the Yale game last year, and l do
/ not think Yale is as strong. These facts,
| Judging by that game, would predict a
| close contest tomorrow. 1t all depends
upon how our men keep coming after
they are once warmed up to their work
! but there are great many things which
may or may not happen.
Capt. Campbell expressed confidence in
his team, and said that he was sure they
would play the game out for all that was
in them
Trainer McMaster was asked especially
about the condition of Blagden. He said
that Blagden was in good shape and
would be able to stand all the work and
hard knocks he would get in the game.
He expected Blagden to play throughout
the whole game He predicted that there
would not be more than three touch
downs made in all.
b. H Dibblee ex-captain and halfback
said that Harvard has good chance to
strongest part of her team play. 1t Is a
trifle slow in getting started but is very
spirited and decidedly well unified.
Harvard men think that the team has
more than even chances.
The field is in good condition. 1t Will
not be covered with straw tonight or pro-
tected in any way, as it is thought that
Harvard will have the advantage over
Yale in playing on its own field under its
natural conditions.
In regard to the protest of Cults, which
Yale is reported to have made, Coach
Reid referred inquirers to Prof. Hollis,
chairman of the Harvard athletic COM
mittee, who said:
"Yale has made no protest. Whether
Cults plays or not rests with the athletic
committee of Harvard and it has not yet
made up its mind. The decision depends
on certain facts not yet ascertained. II
these facts do appear the decision viii be
clear and will be made known at the last
minute. If the facts do not appear, the
decision will still be a very vexed one.
No additional information was presented
to the athletic committee by Yale which
has not been already presented
This is all that could be obtained from
Prof. Hollis.
1t is the general impression at Harvard
that the athletic committee has almost
decided that Cults is ineligible, owing to
his work at the Haverford School, Penn
sylvania but the coaches will not say so,
as they do not wish the players to know
anything about the matter, as it would
spoil their rest tonight.
