HARVARD STILL CONFIDENT
NOT DISMAYED AT STRENGTH
OF YALE.
Crowds Reach Cambridge Early,
Eager to See the Game Be-
tween the Universities.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November 23.-
Harvard square was bustling with activity
and brilliant with the red and the blue
when the first of the army of 10000 peo-
pie, all eager for todays foot ball game
between Harvard and Yale, reached Cam
bridge. The old college buildings in the
and the stores in Harvard square were
gaily decorated with both colors Across
the river rose the gray walls of the
stadium. the scene of the days contest.
Additional temporary stands had been
erected at the open end, along the side
lines and on top of the great structure.
The turf was well rolled and entirely free
from frost. but yesterdays moist weather
had made it a tri1e slippery.
Harvard Confident.
Despite the swarm of Yale enthusiasts,
all sanguine of victory, the undergrad
yates of Harvard were still confident,
Notwithstanding Yale's undoubted strength
and the recent Crimson defeats Still
there was very little betting on the game,
and what wagers were made were almost
entirely on the matter of the size of the
score, or on Harvard's chances of cross
Ing YaeS goal line.
Reports from the quarters where the
two teams had spent the night were that
all the players were in excellent shape.
The day was typical of perfect Indian
summer. The players. however. would
perhaps have been better satisfied if the
atmosphere were more frosty and bracing.
Before leaving Auburndale for the
stadium today the Yale coaches held a
conference. and it was reported later that
they had decided to put Dunbar at center
in place of Congdon, who was injured in
the Princeton game.
In the first half Yale scored a touch
down. Score: Yale, 6; Harvard, O.

Mr.. Tawney said this morning that the
subcommittee had worked like beavers on

TO FURNISH POWER.
Eight Batteries of Boilers Being In
stalled In Katy Shops.

Parsons, Kan, Feb. Height bat
teries of boilers are being put into po-
sition at the power house for the new
Nj. X. & I. shops.
Wrecking crane No. I is in use in
installing the boilers. The train con-
sists of two repair cars, the wrecking
crane and car on which to carry the
boilers. The boilers are located south
of the new store house, where the
train picks them up, carries them
around to the power house where they
are set down temporarily for installa-
ton. The track on which the train
enters the building runs in the exact
spot where the boilers will sit, so the
track must be taken up and another
crane be used for the final setting.
Each of the boilers weigh twelve
tons, and there are eight of them.
Each set is called a battery. When
enough room underneath for a man
to walk around.
Taking these boilers into the power
house has caused some change to the
building. The track on which the
train runs is directly on the concrete
floor. This floor is intended to be
permanent affair, but when the heavy
train runs in on this track, there is a
crumbling around the edges of the
concrete Some of this wear and tear
has been provided against in the
building of it, and great care is exer-
cised to keep any serious damage from
resulting.
The permanent installing of these
boilers is being done before the brick
part of the walls has been erected.
The brick part would be in the way of
the work, but as soon as the boilers
are in the building the brick laying
will commence. With the arrival of
fair weather the work of the power
house is going on fast. as well as other
departments of the new shop con-
struction. The entire shops will be
completed this summer, and the fine
power house will be one of the first
buildings to be ready, and it was be-
gun later than the toilet houses, the
blacksmith shop, the storehouses and
