Save for the contest between Illinois
and Northwestern, none of the games
in the west Tomorrow attract attention.
and even the Illinois, Northwestern event
is conceded to the men from Champaign
in advance. Interest centers in the strug
gle between Yale and Harvard, the crucial
contest Of the eastern season, and the
one which will decide the championship.
The situation in the east this year is
precisely what it was in 1901 and 1900.
Yale having defeated Princeton, and
Harvard downed Pennsylvania, while
both have escaped defeat at the hands
of any Of the second raters SO to-mor-
rows game will decide the championship
beyond the shadow of doubt.
Public opinion generally favors Yale,
and the Ellis are the favorite in the bet
| ting in the east, to 4, and 10 to being
freely offered. At the beginning of the
! season Yale had much the strongest team
in the east, but during October the eleven
appeared to go stale, and went back APP
probably, while Harvard Showed a grad
ual but steady development
vi
game, Mike Murphy handled the Eli plays
efs with the tenderest care, and succeeded
I in getting them back into shape to- beat
/ the sons of old Nassau. The victory, neEl
ertheless, was not SO decisive as to leave
the Yale coaches entirely easy in their
minds with regard to the Harvard con-
test. =.
Yale Has Slight Advantage.
During the last week the Yale men have
had no scrimmage work whatever, and the
coaches apparently have followed the
policy that the men needed increa sel
vitality rather than practice in the game
Yale has wonderfully beefy line, and
fast backs, and If the reports in regard
to the good physical condition Of the Ellis
are correct, Yale should have the adyan-
tage tomorrow.
