Defeat Yale Saturday.
Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 16.-The
last days of practice for the Harvard
football squad before the game with
Yale Saturday finds the players and
the undergraduate body enthusiastic,
but cautious. Any feeling of over con-
fidence that may have existed disap-
peared after the Blue disposed of
Princeton last Saturday.
It was regarded today as almost
certain that the lineup would be the
same as was used in the Princeton
game. All the men are in excellent
shape. Several former Crimson stars
have arrived to assist in the final
polishing of the team and for three
days more they will be put through
hard work.
Thursday night the team will go to
Tyngs Island, in the Merrimac river,
near Lowell, to rest and play golf, I'M
til Saturday morning. Tickets for the
game, numbering about $4,000. were
distributed yesterday and today. Ac-
cording to Fred w. Moore, graduate
manager, more than one hundred
thousand would have been needed to
satisfy all who expressed desire to
see the contest.
