declared to be every bit as good as Coy
in plunging into the opposing line. Har-
wards line is spoken of as one of the

bucked up against a line like Harvard
boasts, and neither has the Crimson
met any such opposition as she will
meet In the Yale game.
Yale will have the hardest battle of
the season, and, while the Crimson

strengthened. 1t looks like Yale.
