YALE THE FAVORITE.
Although Yale remained "A favorite with
the general public. a strong sentiment to-
ward Harvard had developed I'm the "a
hours preceding the~~ening OF the game.
This was due chiefly TO the spirit with
which the team accepted the calamitious
loss OF Captain Hurley, and Harvard fol-
lowers based much confidence on the
slogan play for Hurley's sake" adopted
when II was certain that the team cap
tain must remain on a hospital cot, IN
stead or taking his place on the field
today.
The Yale men remained at their quar-
ters of A~uburudale until just before the
game.
STADIUM VERY DRY.
When the straw covering was removed
from tho stadium field during the fore
noon IL was found that the shower last
night had not reached the earth and that
the ground was unusually dry for this
season OF the year. This Is the condi-
ton which has been most desired by Yale
followers and which IL considered most
excellent for the fast work.
Ground keepers were busy for several
hours and by noon the gridiron had
been marked out I'm white and everything
was ready for the advent OK the teams.
After a consultation the Yale coaches de-
cided just before the game TO make an
important change In the lineup. II was
decided TO put Quill at fuliback instead
Of Finn. who has been playing in that
position since the early season.
