Bisbee daily review., 1914-11-21

pouring into this city by train. boat and motor car The night before the gathering has taxed Che capacity Of the local hostelries Co an extent never before experienced here and the ovrllow has been shunted into private dwellings as a last resort for the night. This rush is but the fore runner of the throngs that are sched- uled to descend upon New Haven to- morrow. With a new stadium with seating capacity almost twice as great as the former wooden stands at Yale Field additional thousands have talk on the opportunity to witness one Of the football classics of the year More than fifty per cent of the spec tators will come from points outside this city. According to the railroad management about 35,OOO persons will be moved by special trains. twenty five of which will start from New York City and fifteen from Boston in addition to the regularly scheduled | service
 That the game itself, aside from the dedication features of the new ! Yale Bowl" and the assembling of a record gathering of football enthusl- asts. will prove an exceedingly inter estng contest. is the general opinion of the coaches and experts who have ] followed the work of the elevens all ! season. Harvard is a slight favorite in the wagering, due to the showing made in the eight games played to date and the fact that Percy Haugh. ton and his successful coaching sys :e1 holds full sway at Cambridge Yale on the other hand is just finish. ing the first season of a new campaign of football under the tutelage of Frank ! lhnkey former captain and end al Yalc teams of 1893 and 1894
 This slight preponderance of sup port in favor of the Crimson is due chiefly however, to the better show ing made by Harvard in the prelim mary games of the schedule. The Cambridge eleven has won all its games, with the exception of the con test with Penn. Staate which resulted in tie at 13 to 13. In six of the seven games Harvard ran up double figure scores. Michigan alone being able to hold Haughtons pupils to g single touchdown without the accom- panying field goals which have marked all the other contests. Yale has also proved that it possessed strong scoring attack but has played cratic football especially on the de fense
 Two opportunities are offered for a comparative score analysis in the games against Washington & lief lferson and Brown. Harvard defeated the Pennsylvania team 10 to 9 or October 10, while two weeks latei the same eleven won from Yale 1g to 2. Against Brown the Blue lined up a team of regulars and substitutes in about equal proportions so that the victory of IA to 2 cannot count with the same weight as Harvard's showing over Brown.
 Whatever the relative merits of the 1914 teams the Blue has a long string of victories over the Crimson to its credit when the series is reviewed as a whole in the earliest days of the game when the point system of SCOT ing was unknown, Yale gained a lead which she has held so firmly ever since Since 1885, when touchdowns goals and field goals were accorded 8 . point value, Yale has won seventeen games to Harvard's six while fv, have resulted in tie contents. In the total number of points scored the Ellis have a big margin over the Crimson the totals being Yale 279; Harvard l07. The Blue elevens have shut out Crimson teams on thirteen occasions
