READY FOR THE BIG BATTLE
(contlnued ZION ans 80

NCOutIHueu from flrSL Ha2e.)
Yale team. His shoulder is very lame,
and Trainer Mack advised that he
should not be played tomorrow unless
a necessity arose. But he is so much to
the Eli team that it seems impossible
that he should not enter the game. But
Of such were the case he would be sub
stituted by Linn, who will undoubtedly
fill his position with almost certain
satisfaction. Whether Roome will en-
ter the game is also uncertain, but he
will probably not be in the battle
Bomar is favored by the coaches and
may possibly get into the game to-day
All the Yale coaches, except Boomer
are confident Of Yale victory over
Harvard to-day. Head Coach Rockwell
said yale should win if only by a
small score. The men have been given
a thorough rest, and are in as good or
better condition than when they met
Princeton last Saturday"
Down at the Pequot house, Morris
Cove, the Harvard men are reported
to be in tip-top shape. Head Coach
Reid in discussing the game yesterday
said:
The game will be played and won
on its merits. We will have no ex-
cuses to offer if we lose. May the bet
ter team win"
Both teams are in good condition,
both play the game along the same
lines, and each has a powerful straight
football attack. Yale is superior in
past performance, in second half re-
Operative ability, and has put up the
stronger and more consistent defense.
Harvard's offense is more powerful, her
line has more inherent strength, her
kicking department is clearly superior,
and, on past performance, again, her
back field men have shown better
ability to run back kicks. Harvard has
not yet proved she is as good a "des-
perate" playing eleven as Yale, and it is
for that demonstrated ability that Yale
is classed so evenly with the Crimson.
But if the team has that quality
which the Blue has already displayed
and can bring it into play, her supe-
riority in kicking, combined with stead
tness Of the line, and that of the men
who handle punts for her, should throw
the balance to the Cambridge eleven,
and might return it the winner.
In the matter of tickets, the manage
ment of the Yale-Harvard football
game, In reiterating it's statements of
the last two days that there were no
more available, says that it has done
Its best to give each and very graduate
fair and equal treatment. 1t insists
however, that a proper use shall be
made of the tickets,
The notice further says that the tick
ct department knows the original own
er Of every ticket which leaves its Of
flee, and the association is willing to
lose money, if need be, in following up
cases growing out of the finding of
tickets in the hands Of Spectators To-
day representatives of the association
will go out and buy up at their face
value all tickets found to be on sale
according to the agreement printed on
the back of each ticket.
1t was announced last evening that
there would be no sale of tickets this
morning, and that only those who have
handed in applications can receive tick
cts, The scarcity Of tickets this year
IS even greater than that of previous
LnrfSars, and orders for tickets are flying
around in great numbers. Spectators
are said to have many of them, but
they have not shown them yet.
Captain CoWles Of the detective bu-
reau yesterday issued warning to all
persons not to leave their doors unlock
ed or windows unbolted tomorrow the
day of the big football game He states
that he expects an army of crooks in
town with the football crowd and that
there will be clever sneak thieves all
over the city.
The Consolidated Electric railway an
nounces that this morning, beginning at
$50 O'Clock they will start running cars
to Yale field, with never let up un-
til the big game is over,
Starting about an hour before the
contest electrics will be run at inter-
walls of twenty seconds each, over two
distinct routes: From Meadow to
