Harvard Has Improved.
AS was to be expected. the eve Of the
Harvard-Yale game finds the "crpples'' OF
the Harvard squad about as At as men
could be, and. though Yale Is the favorite
for today, the Harvard team will be heavier
for the bruising contest. Since the Har-
ward squad arrived at Morris Cove, near
New Haven, Yale men have been addition
ally slow to give any such absurd odds
as to l. Yale expects a hard. stubborn
game today, whatever irresponsible talk
they may have done about winning 30 to O.
There is good spirit IN the Harvard team
and 1t Is made up of fighters. These things
also are true OF Yale.
The Harvard men are not as seasoned as
their rivals of the Blue and whether the
former can cope successfully with the Ellis
depends on whether there Is speed I'm the
movements of the crimson giants and team
work. At no time this year has Harvard
shown foot ball of as high quality as
Yale's in public that is; but Harvard gym
pathizers cling to the hope that the things
needed to transform great wealth OF raw
materfal-as much as Yale and Princeton
together had-into finished conquering
team have been acquired in secret prac-
tice. There has been so much experiment.
Ing with men at Harvard and the final
makeup of the team was so long deferred
that to expect smooth team work Is en-
pecting good deal. But with their fine
endowment in the way of physique. speed
and united effort will give the Cambridge
eleven an equal chance.
Taking the two lines from end to end the
Yale line looks the more efficient not 80
much individually as In experience and
evenly distributed strength as a whole. On
the ends of the line Sheylin and Neal Of
Yale have been tested and found competent
The Harvard ends. Randall and Montgom-
cry. may be just as good. but they have
yet to show it. Randall, who plays oppo-
site Neal. is good hard tackler, but not
as fast in getting down under the ball as
the Yale man. He is q sandy, get-there
player even If he is bit slow Shevlin and
Montgomery. who play opposite each other,
are speedy under kicks. Shevlin, when right,
Is the best end In the country. He Is apt
to overrun his man when tackling in the
open, and while a democratic, good-natured
crap, Is fierce. relentless proposition In a
game. Both he and Neal are strong de-
fensive players. but the Harvard pair are
hard workers, and will keep their opposites
busy.
Two Great Tackles.
SO much has been said of the ability of
Hogan and Bloomer. the Yale tackles, that
their prowess is pretty well known. This
will be the last game for both Of them, and
the foot ball career of each has been to his
credit. Both are powerful ground gamers,
and 1t may be said of Hogan that his de-
fensive play has improved steadily at Yale,
and the responsibilities of the eaptaincy
have not prevented It's being better than
ever this year. Hogan plays opposite Brill
The latter Is as heavy and strong as Ho-
gan and Is a man not unlikely to do big

have a big, active. aggressive tackle oppo-
