a has bcen at aiy other time This season.
This Is a formidable array Of facts in
favor 81 our rivals. But We expect from
she Harvard team much more varied and
effective football then n PLAYED last year,
and see no reason for believing that
she result Of the game viii lot lie as
satisfying as Il was then.
IL seems 10 be the fashion 10 say that
the Nsle-Princeton game is much harder
for Yale than the Dartmoulh-HarVard
game rs FOR Harvard, and that con-
seouently Yale is relatively worse OF
~ the season. We wish 10 call atten-
tion 10 the fact that OF tie last seven
games between Dartmouth and Harvard,
dartmouth has won two snd tied two.
Princeton has not made nearly SO good a
showing against Yale in these years IL
seems well within the facts TO say that
Harvard has had 10 play much harder
against Dartmouth than Yale has had to
play against Princeton. and That IL there
is any disadvantage from Ihe earlier
games Of the schedule Harvard and not
Yale n the team that suffers.
This year Mr.. HauEhton and his sssO-
cistcs have had an unusually hard TASK

men have heen severely injured and de-
piivcd Of practice during a large part OF
