Tonight the fact that the Yale. -ant
Yale Bowl tomorrow, have gone
eleven has not detracted from the /
was entered in behalf of Georges Gle
for eleven seats and will get them.
The bowl tonight is being swept by
biting southwest wind apd workmen
were heaping straw on the gridiron to
keep the ground from freezing. From
all indications tomorrow afternoon
will be about as chilly as any that was
ever furnished for Yale-Harvard
game. There is little betting, but in
such betting as is being done casually
Yale Is a 10 to favorite.
From the lineup announced by
Jones tonight 1t is quite evident that
the Yale team, taking no chances. will
attempt to win this game by drop
kicking. Charlie O'Hearn. the best Of
the Yale drop kickers. will start at
half In place of Wight or Neale. It is
evident that the Yale men have been
brooding a bit over the lost opportu-
mites for field goals during the game

have tied there and two would have
won.
Mallory to Start at Fullback.
Mallory positively will start at full
back. He HAS recovered entirely from
his injuries and certainly should be a
telling force in the Yale defense. Capt
Jordan, who gained the greatest amount
of ground by line plunging. will be in
his regular position at right half.
Newell Neidlinger will start at quar-
terback. Neidlinger has shown himself
to be the headiest and most alert of all
the Yale men in this position. After he
was taken from the lineup in the Prince
ton game the entire Blue team seemed
to lose its sense of surety. Neidlinger
also is the fleetest of all the men in the
Blue at the receiving end Of a forward
pass.
If the wind continues as strong as it
Is holding tonight, and the weather
forecasts say that it will. the team that
draws the choice Of goal for the first
period will have more than the usual
advantage. No kicks could travel far
in the teeth of the gale that is sweeping
across the rim of the bowl. There will
be plenty OF chances for fumbled kicks
and lose footballs rolling tomorrow.
Harvard Plans Kicking Game.
That Harvard. too. will try hard for
field goals is indicated by the fact that
Hammond will start at fullback, in
stead of Chaplin. Hammond is the best
drop kicker they have at Cambridge He
is no Brickley. of course. but in practice
he has been driving them over the bar
from healthy distances.
This rather frank announcement on
the part of both teams that they will
rely upon artillery work at the goal posts
from long range rather than the in
fantry rushes Is more or less OF an in
dication that neither team Is overcon-
fident. In previous Yale Harvard en-
counters the resort to the field goal was
somewhat of a resort of desperation.
The experience which the teams went
through at Princeton seemseto have con-
WINGED both of the advisability of keep
ing a lookout for the net result. no mat
ter how it is attained The net result
naturally is victory. The coaches have
been criticized more or less by the old
grads for losing to the young opportu-
nists of Old Nassau. and the critisism
has hurt.
Touchdown Secondary Matter.
In the old days the touchdown was
the first aim. In to-morrow's battle 1t
promises to be a secondary matter OF
course. the team with safe margin of
field goals naturally would try the
march across the opponents goal line.
But that decidedly is secondary con-
sderation. The watchword from both
camps seems to be first get lead" ex-
periments can be tried later. So a. sharp
artillery duel, with the cleated boots of
Hammond and O'Hearn filing the air.
with footballs is promised.
1T cannot be denied that the atmos-
phere in this vicinity was. a bit lugubr-
Gus following the defeat OF the Yale
team at Princeton. In fact, some OF the
criticism was bit bitter. The presence
of President Angel OF Yale at the meet
ing of the students last night and the
few words that he spoke did consider
able to clarity the atmosphere. Tonight
the Yale forces are quite confident that
they will be doing their snake dance
across the field of the bowl Tomorrow.
The news that Harvard was a favorite
I'm the betting in Boston and other points
In New England helped to cheer the SUI
perstitous Yale men. AS far as the
big Three" is concerned. the season to
date has been hard on the favorites.
Harvard was favorite over Princeton
and lost. Yale also was favorite over
the Tigers and lost. NO wonder tnat
the Yale men shudder when they hear
that there are places where Yale Is Ia
vorite in the game tomorrow.
Ordinarily little matter like this
would not annoy football players. but
this struggle tomorrow Is OF the nature
that the baseball people would call "croo-
cial." 1t has been made so because of
the fact that Princeton has beaten toth
teams and the volunteer board of STRAIT
egy at Cambridge is asking What is the
matter with the Harvard SYSTEM" while
the volunteer undertakers in this place
are raising the wall what is the matter
with Yale?"
Youngsters Have Big job.
The factors make 1T certain that to-
morrow's game will be about as hard
n fought game as these two universities
ever have played. The only fear Is that
the effect of this implied criticism may
