THE HARVARD GAME.
Both Elevens are Ready—The Confis
dence at New Maven and Rea-
sons For It—Train Service.
The annual football game between
Yale and Harvard will be played on Sol-
dier’s Field, Cambridge, Saturday after-
noon, Nov. 18. The game will begin
at 2 o'clock.
As the WEEKLY goes to press both
elevens have about completed their
preparations for the struggle, and only
the lightest work and signal practice
will be taken from now on. Both teams,
according to their trainers, are in per-
fect physical condition, and ready to
play the fastest and hardest sort of a
game from start to finish. What score
that finish will see is, of course, out of
the bounds of human prediction, but
Yale men, generally, feel sure that last
year’s record can not by any possibility
be repeated. All recognize the faults
that yet remain in this green team, but
all recognize, as well, the significance
of the steady progress of the last two
weeks, and the possibilities of an eleven
of such splendid personnel, in both phy-
sical and moral qualities. The eleven
is going in to win and the University
confides that they will carry out their
purpose.
A criticism of the work of the Har-
vard eleven during the season is printed
in another column.
Yale’s last practice game of the sea-
son with the Pennsylvania State team
on Saturday, though a long step in im-
provement over the West Point game
a week before, still showed weaknesses
which ought not to be there at so late a
day. In a word, Yale’s trouble is in
her team work this year. The men have
not been able, though coached long and
vigorously, to get anything like the
unity of action that it was hoped they
would, and this failing has cost them
dearly. In the West Point game the
first evidences of team work of the right
sort began to appear, and during the
week following a great deal was done
to make the plays more of a unit. There
yet remains the tendency to brilliant
individual work by line men and backs
alike, which is liable to be disastrous
against so perfect a machine as Har-
vard would appear to have.
A HARD SEASON,
The season has been a _ particularly
hard one on the players because of the
long continued hot weather, but outside
of a very unusual series of injuries to
end candidates, which put two of the
most likely men out of the race and
necessitated the development of others,
there have been few serious injuries.
The return of Hubbell to left end, and
his splendid playing so far, materially
relieves the situation there. Winter,
Gould and Snitzer are also playing a
fairly good end game. The objection
to the last three men is their lack of
weight, a serious one when it comes
to stopping heavy backs like Harvard’s.
Schweppe, who played a good right end
till his shoulder was injured, may
not be in shape for Saturday’s game.
A comparison of the men in the line
seems like a useless task. as their weak-
ness or strength will be shown by the
amount of team work they can do. Out-
side of the ends and man for man, there
is less difference than is generally sup-
Campbell and
posed. Harvard’s ends,

Behind the line Yale has McBride, Du-
pee, Sharpe, Chadwick, Keane, Adams,
Richards and Cook. Cook has satisfied
the Faculty in his studies and entered
the lists on Monday. All these men are
good ground-gainers by various styles
of nlay, and when it comes to punting,
Yale, between McBride and Dupee,
should more than hold her own.
The line-up against Harvard will
probably be: Ends—Hubbell and Snit-
zer or Schweppe; Tackles—Stillman and
Hale; Guards—Brown and Olcott; Cen-
ter-—-Cunha; Quarterback—-Fincke ; Half-
backs—Richards and Dupee; Fullback—
McBride.
