Battle of Giants.

Ham" Fish, the Harvard captain,
got the better of the argument year
ago with his opponent, "Hen' Hobbs,
of Yale, when they met in the big
Harvard Yale game at New Haven.
Fish plays right tackle and Hobbs
left, and while it. was a fine battle that
the two put up, Fish proved more ag-
gressive and faster and played the bet
ter of the two.
Hobbs found his opponent as Slip
perry as an eel on the offense and on
the defense a regular stone wall.
They are due to meet again in the
game in the stadium on November 90
and each will take up the fight where
he left off a year ago.
Both have had one more year of ex-
perience, but as to weight and height
there will be little difference than
when they last met.
Hobbs will have it on the Crimson
leader by six pounds in weight, but
when it comes to height, Fish will
tower above his opponent by four
inches.
The Yale man has improved greatly
over his form of year ago, however,
if reports coming from New York are
to be relied upon. He is faster on his
feet, and under constant coaching has
learned a number of tricks in opening
up holes and in getting under a play
directed toward him when on the de-
Tense.
He is more than anxious to show up
the Harvard captain this year, and is
training as he never did before in order
to be able to hold him.
Hobbs is an old Andover player, and
