BY 81. C. BYRD.

Has Yale a fair chance to beat Har-
ward tomorrow? That question Is being
asked by everybody who has followed
foot ball this season, and it is probably
racking the minds of Yale coaches, play
ers and students more than 1t is any
others. With the exception OF the
Princeton game every comparative score
would tend to show the Crimson much
stronger and would seem to show that
1t should get a fairly easy victory. The
one factor on which Yale men base their
hopes. though is the result of the games
played with Princeton. Not a touch
down was scored in either Of those con-
tests. Harvard winning by to 0. while
Yale got a 3-to-3 tie. But it is recalled
that last year Harvard did not beat
Princeton near as badly as it did Yale.
Harvard was content to win from
Princeton by any margin 1t could. In
the first half the Tiger eleven outrushed
the Crimson, but in the second 1t was a
different proposition. The shifting Of
tense was solved and Princeton did not do
near the ground-gaining 1t had at the
start. Harvard would not uncover any
more Of its plays than 1t had to, and II
Is probable the Crimson coaches figured
manner they did. The Yale-Harvard
contest will be played under entirely diff
ferent conditions. The game. if pres
ent prospects hold. will be on a dry field,
with the weather ideal, while Harvard
met Princeton in mud ankle deep. That
will make a great deal of difference and
should really favor Harvard's great rush
ing backfield. 1t will also make Brickley
more to be feared as a drop-kicker.
1t may be that Yale will win. 1t is
not possible to forecast the results of
foot ball games now as well as under
old conditions. and a year of surprises
and upset predictions may be capped by
the biggest surprise of all. And Yale
victory would undoubtedly be surprise.
considering the wonderful material OF
which the Harvard eleven is made and
the fact that its supporters have been
figuring on giving Yale the worst beat
ing it has ever received in game with
the Crimson. OF course, it may be held
that 1t is next to impossible for Yale to
come forth strong enough to win but 1t
will be remembered by the dOubters that
two years ago it went through just as
poor season as this has been, possibly
worse, and yet it braced within a week
to such an extent that a defeat was pre-
vented.
The following is a summary OF the re-
suits of games previously played between
the two universities.

One may as well begin with the
opinion Of George Duncan. After one
of his matches short time ago he
delivered himself of the surprising
statement that putting was not golf,
writes Harold Saunders in the World
Of Golf So far as / remember his
form on the greens could not have
been described as even Indifferent. 1t
certainly did not seem to justify his
somewhat jaundiced view of the gentle
art. To those of us who rather pride
ourselves on our putting 1T is dis
tinctly disappointing to be told that
the one department of the game in
which, perhaps, we excel is really not
worth much consideration. 1t is easy.

OF view. When you see golfers of his
caliber playing faultlessly on the green.

stroke with unerring skill. and at the
end of it failing to get down yard

The fact that tickets are being sold in
and around Boston for $50 is indicative of
the great popularity of foot ball. The
sport has been increasing its hold on the
public in recent years more noticeably
than ever, probably due to the changes
made in the rules few years ago and
the decrease in the sentiment against it.
At every big game, no matter where
played. the stands are filled to their
capacity. 1t is more than possible that
persons would watch the Harvard Yale
game. Yale is building new stadium, in
which 1t hopes to accommodate 100000
persons. and there is little doubt that
many will attend every contest it plays
with Harvard.
The Maryland Agricultural College and
Gallaudet are scheduled to meet tomor-
row in what is likely to be one of the
most fiercely contested games played in
this section. While the game is between
two elevens of secondary caliber both
are above the general run Of teams in
the.~ class. They have been winning
from the others by big scores. and have
been showing superior form. One mis-
take the Aggies made last year was to
by about thirty points. They We're taken
completely by surprise and failed to pull
themselves together during the entire
contest. Now they realize they are up
against team that is not only capable
but is heavier and really more expert
enced. They figure they are going to
have the time of their lives to win, and
IL they had any doubts as to that they
were dispelled by reason of a statement
made few days ago by a Gallaudet
which he would place on his team at
odds Of 5 to 4.
