Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-11-21

college year opened Yale had on pa- per the best material in years. In the line and behind that bulwark the men were giants for strength among their fellows. Coy, at fullback, was the strongest man in college until displaced by Fitzpatrick whose ankle injury this week put him out of to- days game. These men seasoned by training. and drilled in the funda- mentals of football which have been such foctor in years past in Yale's winning games, were sent upon the field to-day. The backfeld is the same as selected for last years game agianst Harvard until an injury to Wheaton compelled change. The weakness all season has been at quar- terback. No player in that position has been able to make the Yale strength act as unit. In Corey who rallied the team in the second, half of the Princeton game, the coaches believe that Yale's strength will be made, cohesive on defense and spur red to activity on the offense, and with these clements in full play Yale believes that the Crimson once again will be swept to defeat.
 Harvard is equally. confident as her team is pointed to as one of the best developed in years, with men pos sessed of full knowledge of the game and with the finer points of the re- vised game thoroughly mastered. Both teams have strong string of substitutes.
