healthy. Gallaudet, on the other hand,

twenty-five men capable of finding po-
sitions on the team.

Coach Ray Brown applied the finish

practice previous to the Coming of the

day the willy little coach declared that

that the Rivertons. who claim the cham

by virtue of having defeated the Will

HARVARD FAvOR|TE
TO WIN BIG GAME
Only Hope for Michigan to Score
Must Follow Rushing Attack
Right Off Reel.

BOSTON, Oct. 3l.-For the first time
In nineteen years Michigan lines up this
afternoon on Soldiers Field against
Harvard. In 1895 Michigan fought the
Crimson eleven almost to a standstill
and Harvard was fortunate to get away
with the game by the short margin of
to 0. Today all the dope was that
Harvard would win handily and that
only a wide open, hurry-up attack by
the Yost eleven would give them 2
score. The betting favored Harvard 10
to 4, despite Coach Haughton's last
minute decision not to play the speedy
Mahan at half. unless he should actu
ally be needed. However, there was
some money placed by the enthusiasts
who followed their favorites from Michi-
gan.
Among the westerners there is con-
slant talk 'of a typical Yost surprise
but it was admitted even by the most
frerzied Ann Arbortte that to win.
IIughitt. the western quarterback,
whose leg is still weak. must last
through the game. and that the western
Invsders must get the jump and keep it.
As to weight, Michigan has a slight
ecge on Harvard. Michigan's average is
17s; Harvard's l7S.
The average weight in Michigan's line
Is 1Ss; the Harvard average forward is
1Sa. Only in the backfeld has Harvard
the advantage in beef with an average
Of 1863 to Michigan's 1853
The weather today was proverbially
ideal for the players. A nipping east
wind from out Boston Harbor put
frosty touch in the air that promised
anything but complete comfort for the
$1,000 to 5000 who are expected to jam
the stadium.
Today's game is the fourth between
the same teams. Besides the 1885 con-
test. Harvard defeated Michigan 4 to 0
in 1881 and to in 1888.
Following is the lineup according to
