YALE HAS NOT GIVEN UP

There are reasons, however, why Yale has not entirely given up hope of being able to save a most disastrous season from utter rout by winning or tying with the Cambridge combination in the closing contest of the year. The Eli football material is not without it's mer- its and while it is admitted that Yale made a wretched start, the faithful ad- herents of the team believe that the eleven will arise to the occasion tomor- row and surprise the optimistic Harvard contingent Cornell proved that the Crimson was not invincible. while Penn State and Princeton, although defeated several times, threatened to overwhelm the Cambridge team.
 That Yale should succeed where these powerful teams failed seems unlikely, but the hopeful point out that man for man there is little advantage one way or the other Harvard, with it's almost perfect coaching system has evolved a fine foot ball machine while Yale has yet to flnd itself
 Veterans recall that in 1910 much the same conditions prevailed Yale had been defeated by Brown and the Army; held to scoreless tie by Vanderbilt had great difficulty in defeating Syracuse and Holy Cross yet rallied under the eleventh hour coaching of Shevlin and succeeded in defeating Princeton and holding Harvard to a no-score tie.
 Those who know the real meaning of the old Yale fighting spirit; the possi- bilities of the present squad and the driv- ing power of Shevlin, an emergency coach, hope for the best and are not averse to wagering reasonable sums on the Blue at the odds Harvard cohorts have been offering To the great majority of fol- lowers of the two universities the ques- ton of victory or defeat is not of the utmost import. The fact that Yale and Harvard are to meet in the greatest sports event of the inter-varsity year is sufficient reason for their presence in the stadium on Saturday and they will be there with their wives, sisters and sweethearts until there remains not room for another person. Other elevens may he hailed as champions, but tomorrow all that will be forgotten as the two ancient ,ivals struggle in the green turfed pit sur rounded by the towering walls of the stadium to which will cling, in serried rows, thousands of. the loyal followers of these universities.
 Even though defeat be its portion, Yale

CRIMSON AND BLUE CLASH TODAY FOR
 GR|D|RON H0NORS
Statistics on Both Teams Show Harvard Has Ad- vantage-Yale Will
 Fight Hard

Cambridge, Mass, November 19-With their banners of Crimson and Blue flung to the breeze as in the old days when they battled for the championship of the gridiron the football teams of Harvard and Yale meet here tomorrow in the final contest of their respective schedules. Al though shorn of much of their former gridiron glory there is not the slightest abatement in general interest in the an- nual clash of the rival elevens and the greatest of all eastern football classics will be witnessed by a throng of thou sands which will test the capacity of the Harvard stadium as in the years when the winner was acclaimed the premier team of the season.
 While there is no possibility of new attendance or gate receipt records this fact is due to the inability to accommo- date more than 47,OO0 persons in the sta dium on Soldiers Field. If the great Harvard amphitheatre had the seating capacity of the Yale bowl it is not un- likely that the gridiron struggle of the morrow would attract q gathering as large as that which was present at the dedication of the Ellis arena last autumn when Harvard won from Yale 36 to O. The demand for tickets, which IS Tar III excess of the supply. has demonstrated that lure of the game is not dependent upon the elevens of the famous universities enter ing the final contest of the year with un- bemished banners.
 If such were the case, there would be many empty tiers in the stadium tomor- TOW, for not in many years has Yale come to Cambridge with such dismal record as that made by the team of 1915. Eliminating all consideration of the Princeton game, the fact remains that the Blues lost four of the first seven games of her schedule, being defeated by Nir- ginia, Brown, Colgate and Washington and Jefferson. A desperate effort to rally the shattered forces of the Blue was made in the closing weeks of the season, but with partial success. A new corps of coaches was called in after Colgate triumph and against Brown and Prince ton the Eli eleven showed marked inn provement Compared with Harvard s record of victories over all teams faced this fall except Cornell, the outlook tor the Blue to defeat the Crimson is not particularly bright.
