and the customary bonflres OF discarded
togs followed.
Cheers were passed between the var
city and the scrubs and a feeling OF
cheerfulness in its advanced stages per-
vaded the entire squad. Not for years
has Yale felt so hopeful of annexing "a
Harvard scalp as 1t has this year, and
all the pent UP feeling came to the sur
face this afternoon and evening. Yale
tonight is football mad, and at big
rally in Woolsey Hall there was more
real enthusiasm than the New Haven
university has witnessed in many year.
Tad Jones and MAC" Aldrich were
the speakers at the rally and the great
hall was crowded to the roof, the stu
dent body and hundreds of members OF
the faculty being on hand for the occa-
sion. If Yale doesn't beat Harvard on
Saturday there will be 1890 sorely dis
appointed members of the university In
or on their way to New Haven late in
the evening. Yale can see nothing but
Aldrich's team. The student body is
back of it to- a man. and in the opinion
OF each and every Yale man Harvard
has no look in whatever. Yale is will
ing to put all the money 1t can borrow
from home at the ratio Of 10 to on its
team, and some of the more daring have
telegraphed a stack Of it to Cambridge
to be placed at 10 to 5.
The varsity was put through a soft
dummy scrimmage this afternoon in the
final practice in New Haven this fall.
the prepared programme which called
for a scrimmage being disregarded by
Jones. The only semblance of work was
a dummy scrimmage against the second
varsity. but 1t was OF the Hight variety.
