ANEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. "a.
IN Every football player knows
- the anxious anticipation and
the nerve strain connected with
the last game of the football sea-
son. Many men on the Harvard
Yale teams play their last game
for their alma meters tomorrow.
Each player is anxious to make his
last game the best game. Prince
toms varsity men had these same
thoughts last Saturday, and to the
victors belong the spoils. For
happy. indeed, are the Tigers as
they sit this afternoon on the side
lines and MUNICH on pleasant menu
ories of experiences with the two
contesting teams.
Tad Jones Is hoping: Bob Fisher
is praying. Both teams are eager
to win, and the loyal supporter the
alumni will be in great evidence.
A great feast of football will be pre-
pared in the Yale .bowl.
Both teams will be stronger than
they were against Princeton. From
defeats we learn much in football.
Can Yale correct the faults in gen.
eralship exhibited at Princeton last
Saturday? Will Charlie, .O'Hearn
score with his goals from the field?
He is dangerous. Will Yale persist

success does not spell victory. l am

I, understand Wight may play

better than Neale he is a wonder. :.
GOOD DEFENSIVE TEAM.
Yale is a good defensive team.
What it must do tomorrow is, be :,
scoring team. Yale has her men In
good shape for the contest. At
lantic City has done much for their
fitness. And Harvard stinging from
the defeat by Brown University,
reinforced by Charley Buell., will be
on edge and fight to win as never
before.
The season for either team has
been far from satisfactory, and the
desperate struggle between these

long way to see.
The Harvard team certainly has
suffered the last two weeks in
having Captain Buell. out of the
lineup. Team work suffers much
with the captain out of the game
with little practice, the result Of
an injury.
How long can Buell. last If he
does play? When he left the Har-
vard-Princeton game, Harvard's
leadership was gone. But Buell. may
be in good shape: maybe he has
worked in secret practice. Buell.
right adds much to Harvard's s
chances.
MUST WATCH OWEN.
Yale will have to have a care
for George Owen. Gehrke is a
clever back and there should be an
excellent opportunity for Hubbard,
the>crack Harvard guard, TO get
plenty of work stopping Jordan
on center plays.
Jordan hits the line with strength
and wonderful speed. Hubbard is
a wonderful player. He was against
Princeton, at least, and l look for
him to be world beater today.
Both lines are strong and I believe
the Harvard line is a faster charg-
ing line than Yale's. Harvard's 3
right side is the stronger on both
offensive and defensive play.
With Buell. at quarter and Spauld-
ing as substitute, the quarterback
position for the Crimson causes no
worry.
I expect to see Yale win, but she
must show some overhead attack
in addition to her rushing game
and Charlie O'Hearn's toe.
