YALE VERSUS HARVARD.
Condition of Teams That Battle for
Championship saturday.

Boston. Nov. 19,-The football season
of 1908 at Cambridge was brought to
a close yesterday afternoon, when the
varsity squad run through a short sig
nal practice.
1t was the farewell appearance of the
wearers of the Crimson. who will battle
against Yale on Saturday at New eEa-
ven, and thousands of loyal undergrad
yates and graduates marched down to
the field to show the team that they
were behind it to a man and would
root hard for victory when they meet
the Eli.
1t was one of the most remarkable
demonstrations ever seen in Cambridge.
The word was sent forth that the prac-
tice would be open to the public, and
as a result of this dictum the class
presidents rounded up the members of
their respective classes and, headed by
brass bands, they -wended their way
joyfuIly to the stadium.
The varsity spent a few minutes be-
hind closed gates to perfect the trick
plays they have on hand for Saturday,
but after that was concluded the gates
to the stadium were unlocked, the
guards were withdrawn and on both
sides of the playing field the thousands
gathered to lend endorsement.
Cheer after cheer resounded through
the big amphitheater. while the team
worked out, and then the old and new
songs were rehearsed. individually
remembered, with time honored Nine
Long Harvards," and. Captain Burr and
the coaching staff were given great
ovations.
Such confidence in a Harvard team
has not been shown since the fall of
'9S, when Ben Dibblee's bunch started
for New Haven. In all quarters there
is an expectation that Harvard will
turn the trick this year, and although
the hardest battle of the season is look
ed for, the Harvard students anticipate
victory by a generous margin.
New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 19.-Yale'S
varsity football team returned yester-
day from the banks of the Hudson and
spent an hour in signal drill at the
field. Today there will be scrimmage
work Captain Burch was at one end
for the first time in several weeks, and
Logan at the other.
Coy was at fulIback. 1t is probable
that fitzpatrick will play one end Sat
urday as he is taking long runs daily
to condition himself. The eleven is
likely to face Harvard in back field
and rush line as at Princeton, with
the exceptions noted.
Betting is getting lively, as Harvard
men have sent down money to be laid
at even wagers for the first time in
years.
The Yale coaches seem to be planning
for different style of attack against
Harvard There is more talk of plays
with forward passes than week ago,
for with Burch, Fitzpatrick, Logan and
Coy, all playable, there will be greater
likelihood of that play succeeding.
The Quarterbacks will be Johnson
and Corey, and both are likely to be
used in the game. Yesterdays drill
showed the coaches working for speed
of execution. Careful drill is being
given to Cooney, who will be first sub
stitute guard and center. With no more
games to save men for the Yale team
will be replenished with fresh men at
every advantageous moment.
Trainer Mack reports all the men in
pink of condition and fit for the hard
est game of the season.

EASTERN FOOTBALL NEWS.
TibbOtt and Coy Are Stars-Yale Will
Have Hard Game With Harvard.

Philadelphia, Nov 19.-When GAIL
Eastern" teams are selected at the end
of the year there is little doubt that
there will be unanimity in choosing
one man, at least for a position on this
honorary eleven. That is Tibbott. No
half back on the eastern gridirOn has
played a greater game all year than
this same Tibbott. 1t was not alone his
wonderful work against Yale that
stamps him as a star, but his playing
every time that he started in a contest.
He was the one man that the Orange
and Black could always depend on
when things looked gloomy. and his
name will surely have a place in the
football hall of fame at Princeton
Subtract Coy from the Yale eleven
and Princeton would have been victori-
Gus. But the question arises will this
same man be able to do similar things
to the Crimson contingent next SatuT-
day? Harvard, on it's record of the
season, appears to be considerably
stronger than Princeton and this was
brought more forcibly home by the
splendid victory over Dartmouth Sat
urday in the last couple of minutes of
play. Any team that can force back
that sturdy Hanover combination
ninety yards for a touchdown without
losing the ball is going to give Yale Il
big cause for worry Harvard, too, will
have the incentive of going into the
game feeling that victory will give it
a practically undisputed claim on the
championship of 1908.
1t was proved pretty conclusively by
the results of Saturdays games that
the east is superior to the west in foot
ball. Michigan and Chicago are gen
orally conceded to be the best that
their section can produce, yet the
Wolverines were soundly trounced and
the Maroons were thankful to escape
with tie. Pennsylvania has one of
the best teams in this part of the
countr-- and it demonstrated beyond
any doubt it's superiority at Ann Arbor.
There were a couple of surprises in
the scores of Saturday, but, paradox
ca1ly as it may sound, surprises are
more or less expected in these days of
gridiron uncertainty. That Washing
ton and Jefferson, a team that was
beaten $50 by Yale, could hold the
Army to a &c game was entirely I'M
looked for.
The Indians close call against Pitts
burg probably means that the red men
are still suffering from the slump that
struck them in the Harvard contest.

FOURTEENTH CENTURY OPINION.
A Puritan Tells of Football as Played
in His Time

The following is the opinion of Philip
Stubs, an old time Puritan who lived
in the fourteenth century, on football,
the most popular sport in America at
this time:
ANY exercise which withdraweth US
from godlinesse, either upon the
Sabaoth or any other day, is wicked
and to be forbidden. Now who is so
grossly blinde that seeth not that these
aforesaid exercises not only withdraw
US from godlinesse and virtue, but also
traile and allure us to wickednesse and
sin? for as concerning football playing
