New Haven, Conn, Nov. 21.-Ameri-
can university foot ball history shows
that Harvard in an even quarter of
century has had but three victories
over Yale, not including the game
forfeited to her just twenty years
ago. Since 1894 Harvard has not
scored a point against her rival ex-
cept In the years Of victory. Harv-
power within her men to add one more
shining bar upon her> athletic shield.
Out on Yale field more than $4,000 peo-
pie are massed to witness the great
struggle, which is expected to rank
with the best ever played in this coun-
try. The weather is ideal for the
game.
