CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 21.-The
feature of the annual football contest
between Harvard and Yale here on Sol
diers' field and which makes 1t note
worthy in the annals of American sport
is the assembly of $4,000 people in the
new S2J0,900 stadium, one of the lar
Gcst crowds that has ever witnessed a
similar event in this country.
Nearly 100000 persons have attended
I football game in England between
the rival teams of England and Scot
land, but such Il crowd at an American
game is unique.
Cambridge and its larger neighbor,
Boston. is therefore fairly jamned with
college students, both graduates and
undergraduates, of the two universe
ties, all discussing eagerly the pros
poets of the game.
1t seemed TO be generally conceded
that, barring iukes and fumbles such
rs prevailed at New Haven. Yale
would win; but. singularly enough.
there has arisen at Harvard during the
past day or two a feeling of quiet on
fidence in the tenn, the sources of
which aredificult TO trace.
Still this feeling is not sufficiently
strong to induce Harvard men to snap
mp wagers of 3 and 1 to 1 which the
sporting vanguard of the Yale cohorts
