TOMORROW'S BIC
FOOT BALL GAME
Harvard Determined to Make
Strong Fight Against
Yale.

| Yale and Harvard await the final game
of their year tomorrow, prepared for the
contest. In spite of the poor showing
made by the Crimson, there is a remark
able confidence in the Harvard team Rec
ognizing the surprising strength that Yale
showed in the second half of the game
with Princeton. realizing the peculiar
weakness it has displayed in successive
games. the Crimson players appear to be-
lieve a victory possible. The spirit of the
team and the undergraduates behind it is
surprising in view of the circumstances,
but ALL expect close fight
| The general public undoubtedly looks
for a big score. Some of the predictions
are unwarranted and leave out Of account
the remarkably good lot of men Harvard
has, even granting they are undeveloped
as team. They argue, however, that
Yale. with the power she showed in the
second half of the Princeton game, should
have scored twice in each half against the
Tigers, and they cannot see why she
| should make less against Harvard.
Yale coachers undoubtedly fear Har-
wards powerful backs, and there has been
a strong effort to tighten up Yales line
defense. closer formation than was
used in the second half of the Princeton
game will be used at Soldiers Field, while
the formation used in the first half will
not appear at all. Then, in the lineup
announced by the Yale coachers there is
evidence of no intention to take chances.
Congdon and Paige, who are injured. are
not to be allowed to start the game, Dun
bar and Foster going in. Whatever else
Yale may be in the game, she Is not
likely to be overconfident And the eleven
that starts will be in good condition as 1T
enters the game. There will be no sub
situations while the result is in doubt.
unless accidents dictate them
There are three games to be played to-
morrow which to their respective Glen
tele Will be as interesting as the Yale
Harvard game. These are the annual
meetings between Brown and Amherst,
Lehigh and Lafayette, and the game in
Chicago with the Carlisle Indians. The
latter has some significance, too, as an in
tersectional game and as the conclusion
of the Indians remarkable schedule
Inc Brown Amherst game promises to
prove an especially good contest, in which
the Providence team is a slight favorite.
while the Lehigh-Lafayette game looks
like victory for Lafayette. West Point
and Annapolis both have their work cut
out for them. the Army boys with SYRIA
cuse and the Navy with Virginia Poly
technic. 1t was not so long ago that Vir-
ginia walloped the Navy good and plenty,
while Syracuse this year looks to have a
very strong team. The games will afford
last line on the ArmyNavy game, which
Will close the season.
Checking Yale's Confidence.
NEW HAVEN, November o2-Cheered
by more than one thousand students who
gathered at the New Haven House yes
terday In the rain the Yale eleven with
substitutes left for Auburndale to remain
mt Sot1
the stadium in Cambridge.
With the squad went Head Coach
Knox, Paul Veeder, Carl Flanders, Wal
ter Camp, Jim Hogan. John Hall and
Ralph Kinney. Today the varsity and the
substitutes will have an hour of secret
practice and this will be the only work
before the game. Besides the regular
eleven Dunbar. Foster. Burch. Logan,
wheaton. Philbin, Berger Dimes Pig
gott, Babe, Parke, Brown. Peyton, Boggs,
Thornton, Bingham and Wylie are taken
1t is likely that many substitutes will
get in the game Saturday and win VS.
Carl Flanders said that Harvard had been
saving the best plays to use against Yale
preferring to defeat the Ellis rather than
any other team. He spoke of the case of
Shevlin's team which went to Harvard
two years ago perfectly confident of VIC
tory, and which did not score until the
very end of the game. He said that Yale,
to win. must use the same methods that
were ADOPTED IN the last half of the game
with Princeton.
Harvard would then become discouraged
at the start and Yale would win easily.
He declares that Harvard is going to put
up very powerful game. Walter Camp
Is of the opinion that Harvard will give
Yale mighty good rub. He says that
Harvard has nothing to lose and. every
thing to gain by a victory over Yale. He
says that Harvard will take every chance
because the team has been defeated SO
badly this year.
There are still positions on the Yale
eleven which remain in doubt Those
are left tackle and center. Whether Paige
or Foster will start at left tackle is a
question, as Paige has not entirely re-
covered from injuries to his knees early
In the season, and Foster is in first-class
condition. Foster is sure to get in the
game before it is over. The other posi-
ton in doubt is that of center. Congdon's
ankle is not in first-class shape, and Dun
bar will play part Of. if not all, the game
Otherwise the line up will be the same as
the one which faced Princeton
