HARVARD ENTERS CONTEST
 FAVORITE OVER YALE

New York, Nov 19.-The Harvard Yale, game. the last of the great eastern inter-'varsity football classics, is the out standing contest of tomorrow's gridiron schedule Regardless of the two defeats which mar the Ellis 1920 record and the tie game registered between Harvard and Princeton, interest in the annual battle of the Crimson and Blue stranscends that centered in any of the other games which go to make up Saturdays football card.
 Harvard will enter the contest in the Yale Bowl an overwhelming favorite against the home eleven, but the probable playing form of the two teams does not warrant the odds quoted. The one-sided favoritism is based, to a great extent. upon the unexpectedly weak showing Of Yale against Princeton last Saturday. Analysis of that game tends to show that the lapses of the Ellis were more mental than physical and radical im- proYement in the Yale play is not only possible but probable.
 Man for man, the Blue line and back field have nothing to fear in physica1 contact with the Harvard eleven. It will be in the finesse of coaching and in- dividual play that the Cambridge eleven may be expected to excel. if such is to be I i were easily decoyed or forced out of proper position by the Princeton offense a week ago, but with the lesson then learned it is not likely that similar tao tical errors will be shown against Har- yard.
 Yale teams of past years, defeated by l Princeton, have turned in last desper- ate effort and played surprising football against Harvard, holding the Crimson to 1 foI ho ohri6 6oc rushes by a small score only, after a | most gruelling struggle. Many close
 followers of football are looking for ward to a somewhat similar stand tomor-
 row.
 | It appears certain that Yale will enter l the contest stronger in several positions 1 than was the case in the Princeton game | If these proposed eleventh hour chang
 es are made Rnd the Blue combination

 1 That Yale will win, even in these cir cumstances, is not the popular impres
 sion, but the last fight of the Blue is ex pected to lift the game to the plan which has made this series famous il | gridiron annals.

 In the other games of the day Dart mouth and Brown may be expected t
 battle brilliantly at Boston with tn Hanover team holding slight edge. C favoritism due to it's constantly increas
