 Approximately 5o,o0O football mad spectators streamed out to the Har- ward stadium to watch the teams in their first contest since 1916. Thou sands of others disappointed because Of their inability to procure tickets. awaited the outcome on the streets or in gathering places where bulletins were posted. Boston newspapers, under orders in effect since the state guard has been on police duty there were not permitted to distribute play bulletins but arranged to publish many extra editions.
 Crimson the Favorite. Although experts declared that analysis of previous efforts could show no reason for giving Harvard odds, the Crimson entered the game as the favorite. The results against Princeton showed Harvard the stronger, but Yale's admirers believed the Blue was due for a big come-bac ok. Squad statistics showed the Harvard men taller than their opponents but one pound lighter in the average weight. a.,. Field Is Slippery. The heavy blanket of straw placed over the field Wednesday was not sufficient to make the playing surface perfect. Uncertain footing handi- capped neither team to any particu- lar extent. however, according to the records of the backfield runners. Weather conditions appeared to fa- vor the spectators, US the day opened mild and fair.
 Lineup of Teams.
 Players on the teams remained at their resting quarters until afternoon. The Yale contingent played numerous head games at tho Belmont Springs Country club while the Harvard squad listened to the final warnings and ad- vice of it's coaches at the even more secluded Essex Country club. Both elevens appeared confident of winning, there being not the slightest tendency to concession on either side. All ap- peared to believe that the final result would be governed largely by individ- ual prowess and "breaks."
