| Morale Harvard
Team Apparently
10. TX. on Eve Battle

New Haven, Conn, Nov. s1-Wfth
the chant s'We1l beat Yale" as sung
by 1000 Harvard undergraduates still
ringing in their ears, nearly so Har-
ward gridiron, warriors and their
coaches and trainers arrived here to-
day for the annual Yale-Harvard
football classic at Yale Bowl tomor-
row. Following poor season with
defeats by Dartmouth. Brown and
Princeton chalked up against them.
the Crimson squad shows little signs
of shattered morale and It is felt
that victory over the Bulldog will
more than make up for the reverses
suffered during the year.
Immediately after its arrival, the
Harvard squad went TO the Bowl for
two hours practice in the big saucer.
The practice consisted Of a snappy
signal drill. followed by considerable
kicking to get accustomed to the
shadows and wind currents of the
huge field. Leaving. the Bowl at
o'clock. the Harvard men were taken
to a hotel In Derby where they will
remain until game time tomorrow.
A special orchestra has been en-
gagged for their benefit and they will
get music at every meal. even at
breakfast tomorrow morning.
The Harvard lineup was still a
matter of conjecture this afternoon,
even Bob Fisher being undecided on
the men he will throw against the Ell
eleven. While Yale will enter the
contest a top-heavy favorite follow
ing it's undefeated record for the
year, Coach Tad Jones impressed
upon his charges today that victory
will only follow hard fought battle.
Don't think you will have an easy
victory over Harvard" he told the
members of his squad. Just remem-
Der that Harvard always plays at top
form against Yale and that the Grim
son team is never whipped until the
game is over.
Alright signal drill featured the last
day of practice for the Yale squad.
Coach Jones gave out no lineup today
for the battle tomorrow, but from
the way the men lined up this after
noon, it was apparent that Bench will
probably start the game at quarter
back and Bingham at left end.
