BUT HARVARD HAS HOPES

Boston, Nov. 21.--Harvard and Yale
meet in the Stadium next Saturday af-
ternoon in their final contest of the year.
What will be the RESULT On first
thought, after considering Harvard's
games against Pennsylvania and Dart
mouth on successive Saturdays and
Yale's magnificent victory over Prince
ton, one would say that the New Haven
eleven ought TO defeat the Cambridge
team quite as decisively as it did the az
gregation from New Jersey. On second
thought, students of football realize that
Harvard has an opportunity to make
a much better showing than the defeat
ed team last Saturday In the first place
the Crimson has an offence that has
shown more power and variety than any
thing that Princeton exhibited at New
Haven. The Tigers were able to gain
ground through the Yale left wing, but
did not attempt TO penetrate the other
side of the line. Harvards attack is
strong enough and Of sufficient variety
to penetrate the Eli right side. The
problem seems to be whether Harvard
can hold together long enough TO score
and score often enough to win.
On the defence Harvard should be
stronger than in any of her recent games.
She win be able to put her best team
into the game next Saturday, something
she has been unable to do this month.
This defence, with Foster, Hurley and
Carr working uniformly with the line,
should be stronger than Prineeton's de-
fence. With three days OF hard work
this week and two for light practice the
Harvard team should be better together
when it faces Yales than any time this
season. 1t should be faster than in any
previous contest, and speed Is what the
Crimson needs more than anything else
in the concluding game Of the season.
Harvard is always at her best against
Yale, and it il possible that the contest
in the Stadium may not be as one sided
as that on Yale Field. On form, Yale
should defeat Harvard so that there
should be no question as to which team
is the stronger.
Yale this year is represented by al
great football team 1t Is far from being
the best that has ever represented the
Blue. There is an absence of so-called
stars, but it is just this that makes the
team great. 1t is team first of all ami
not eleven individual members Of great
merit, and it was formed, developed and
finished by the greatest coaching staff
that has ever been gathered in New
Haven. Unity Of action il what stands
out most prominently in the Yale eleven
at work. Line and backs work in per
feet harmony and at great speed, and
speed Is what Harvard will have to meet
4...4 D..4s. t..9g .r+f
Yale's speed and team work with the
same article Of football, and the result
vas early foreseen. Yale has developed
her offence at the sacrifice OF her de-
fence, but it is safe TO say that the Yale
coaches will work this week on the few
weak points developed by Princeton.
Where Yale made her choice Of play
ars early in the season, Harvard has been
forced to make constant shifts IN her
team on account OF injured men. The
best players have not been together all |
as has been the case at New
Haven, and this has made the task Of
Mr.. Reid doubly difficult, since he was
with the abilities of the
men of whom he took charge. He has
lad to find his men first and then pro-
,eed to develop them, Immediately hav-
ing to turn and begin the work over
again when his first choices were put out
ii the running for the time being by
reason of injuries. Harvard expects to
put her best men against Yale, but it |
1 impossible to expect anything like the
team work that Yale has been able to
levelop Harvard also viii undoubtedly /
ack the sustained speed of her oppon- I
snts. and Yale will be quick to take adj
vantage Of the slightest let-up. Follow
RS Of the Crimson are hoping for the
best, but look for defeat.
