Some twenty of George Set
ties young friends spent last
Saturday evening with him and
it was memorable evening for
him, for every hing went as
merry as marriage bell.
The games were just the
games, and the refreshments
just the refreshments, for they
were just every ones fit.
AS for the dark muddy drive
home, they cared not for that
because they SINGLED just a lit
tie closer and enjoyed the drive
all the more. George him self
wished he lived five miles from
home.

Yale. then they have been wise; for
this team like all other big teams,
works for its big contests no matter
what the result Of the minor games nap
pen to be,
II Harvard defeats Yale. even WITH
defeat at the hands Of Dartmouth and
Carlisle marring ner record, so to
speak. her season will be a most sue
cessful Ond II she loses to Yale the
season cannot be a good one. 1t Is her
one game around which centers al
the football Of the university
Yale's team Is strong enough TO over
Wnelm Harvard, but the Blue viii hard
~ md the Crimson as easy as Dart
mouth found her Yale viii meet q
1erCer, harder-playtng team than did
Dartmouth
Hopes Based on Burr.
Then. too, Harvard viii have the
services OF Burr. her great guard and
punter. whom she missed IN the Dart
mouth game. and his abilities should be
most valuable. This man alone seems
to permeate his eleven with aggressive
ness. and his playing seems TO be re-
.spOnsible for half OF Haryards offense
and defense.
I look for Vallejo make considerable
ground with Coy and Jones carrying
the ball. especially the former. CCy

has the strength, weight, speed, nerve,
and brain power 10 be one Of the great
est backs Yale mas ever had and he Is
rapidly making good. There is no one

outmatch him or even compare with
him The Yale-Princeton game seemed
TO have been all Coy and the Yale-Har-
ward game should be about the same
way,
Yale Better Man for Man
In Jones Yale has a quarterback fully
the equal OF Newhan. Of Harvard, as a
general and far superior as a player.
In fact, with the exception of Burr,
the Yale team in the line and in the
backfield certainly outmatches Har-
ward.
In actual team work Yale is far su-
perior and her knowledge Of the game
Outranks Harvard S.
look for Yale TO win by three scores
at least, though there is a possibility
Of Harvard finding herself and by sheer
nerve holding the Els.

The Washington times., 1907-11-23

The fact that Dave Campbell, the 1901
captain Of the Harvard football team,
the best eleven the Crimson ever
boosted, has been on hand at Cambridge
the past week 10 coach the Hary ard
squad, should be sufficient 70 warrant a
better game against Yale than Harvard
would otherwise have played.
Campbell is one OF the few leaders
who has been able to overcome condi-
tons at the big New England institu-
ton sufficiently to turn out winning
team, and the presence OF this player
Will DO wonders toward the fighting
spirit of the team which is to face
Yale.
one year ago Harvard braced won
derfully for the Yale game, though
there was no such demoraIized condI-
ton to be met then that there Is today
yet there is reason TO believe that the
Crimson win give Yale a harder fight
than she hopes. Yale viii hardly play
the same brilliant game against Har-
ward that she displayed against Prince
ton last Saturday for the good reason
that she does not expect as hard a one.
and. in addition, the Princeton contest
always takes some of the snap and dash
out OF Ya.e.
Harvard's Advantage in Date.
It Is a lard matter for a big team to
90 through two such contests as Yale
meets in Princeton and Harvard upon
succeeding Saturdays without showing
the effectg OF the former game IN her
play in the latter, and this same fact
has been prominent many times in the
Yale-HarYaTc affair. Yale has gener-
ally had a much superior team, else
Ha-Vard's victories would be more
numerous.
Harvard or the other nand, has been
goaded by her two successive defeats
at the hands of Carlisle and Dartmouth
and will enter this final game with all
the desperation she can muster. There
IS much for this Crimson team to fight
for, more tnan any Crimson team Of
recent years has had at stake, for
victory or even a close score would do
much to prevent the eleven from being
classed as The poorest Harvard has
ever had.
Depends Upon Coahcing.
To a great extent the result depends
upon the coaching. II Harvard can
show no more knowledge OF new foot
ball than has been the case this year,
then no matter what her spirit be, she
is doomed to a hard trOUncing at the
hands Of Yale. II, on the other hand,
her coaches have held back their ideas
along this line and can successfully
turn loose an attack which win Jyther

This colt came down from New York

ness, and the wise ones said ne would
