HALLAHAN Down through the long list of annual football contests between those rivals. Harvard and Yale, seldom has there been such a Unanimous divided expression of opinion on the eve of the historic conflicts as was manifested wherever followers of the two teams gathered last night.

There were a lot of ifs and ands circulated, and while Harvard was liked best by those who have a tendency to wager money on the game, there was comparatively little betting. Some followers of the Elis were asking odds, and why they should was as- much a I puzzle as it was to find where any heavy sums w-ere placed. There was more Crimson money in sight, and it was only natural that the Fisher-coached was made the favorite by th gambling element. There was an absence of Yale money. Harvard was on the big end of what few bets were made.

Odds at, 10 to 8 were quoted, but those who have watched the rival teams In their respective contests against Princeton could not. understand why this afternoons game could be any better than a 50-50 proposition. One man who takes delight in snapping up bets said last night that he found less tendency on the part of football men to gamble their money than ever before. Tile Harvard men do not see why they should give odds, and expect with the incoming trains from New Haven this morning to find followers of the Blue willing to bet at evens. Some of those inclined to decided to wait until this morning, when the weather conditions may be considered an element to swing the balance of power one way or the other.

Judging from the difficulty in obtaining tickets for the game last night, it is going to be a big problem for those who wait until the last minute. The speculators are almost barren of pasteboards. Of course, what few are to be let out by them called for tremendous prices. There was one man at one of the hotels who was asking $73 for a pair of seats last night. There were others who had some tickets, but they were skeptical about showing them, causing those who made -inquiries for the same to doubt if they actually had This is an unprecedented state of affairs, as in years past tickets, no matter how closely they are guarded, bad found their way into the hands of -speculators.

This situation also indicates that those who obtained tickets intend to go to the game themselves, and consider they are very fortunate in having the opportunity of seeing the first football contest between the two great rivals since 1916. Sound football men whom the writer talked with last night could not see anything but a 50-50 proposition as regards the outcome of todays game. Those inclined to favor Yale believe that Fido Kempton will be an altogether different football player on the gridiron in the Stadium than he was last week against" Princeton. Thev contend, too, that Yale team will be all the better as a result of last weeks contest than it has been at any time this year. As Kempton is the big man Yale will rely on for long gains, it pins its hopes on his ability- to come through in great style.

Just as Kempton is the big man for the Blue, Harvard has another dangerous player iry Eddie Casey-, and it is the work of these two players which the 50,000 spectators will be watching all afternoon. But. after one has analyzed the play of the two teams and at the same time forgets his prejudices, this afternoon's game will be one of the most interesting in the long history of the battles. Yale has two kickers. Jim Braden and Thorne Murphy, the latter the son of the famous Mike Murphy, former trainer, who can dropkick and wilt be a menace to Harvard throughout the contest.

Harvard also lias in Capt Murray, "Babe Felton and Ralph Horween men ivho can dropkick. and it is possible that todays game may narrow down to a goal-kicking contest. But, no matter what way one looks at it, it is an even thing. tuftsTno aggies IN CLINCH TODAY Final Practice on Whelan Shift at Medford HARVARD HARVARD YALE SEES VICTORY IF IT CAN GET THE JUMP Graduates Are Not Very Sanguine, Albert H.

came Harvards 10-10 score with the Tigers and Yales 10 to 6 defeat by the Jerseymen. Omitting the scores against other teams, and weak one's. Harvard's total against the elevens played by both the Crimson and the Blue has been 77 points to 10 for its opponents and Yale's has been SO points with its opponents having 18. Early in the year, Yale had a touchdown scored against her when North Carolina got the ball behind the Blues goal line on a kick that had been "ticked. but; not counting this, both the New Haven and Cambridge players have shown similar ability to prqtect their goal lines.

The only touchdown that has been scored against Harvard this year was at Princeton, where the Tigers made an 80-yard journey by straight rushing, forwards and a lateral, finally planting the ball behind the Cambridge goal posts. Yale has not-been subjected to any such retreat. Princetons touchdown last week was made on Scheerers "Sammy White on a miscued lateral. Three field goals, however, have been kicked against Yale, and two of them in last weeks I game against the Jersey team. Acostas wild passing back for kicks made a safety easy for Boston College and provided Bostons edge for a victory in the bowl.

The "paper record of the teams apparently tells little enough on which to base an opinion that one team or the other has anything of an edge for tnis afternoon. It comes down to what one expects will be the demonstration in the final game. At Harvard the coaches have been accustomed- to see their elevens make great strides between their Princeton and Yale games, and in the final bout play a finished brand of football. This is what Fisher and his coaches look for in this years team. At New varsity has.

been better grounded than many a New Haven team in the past decade. is acknowledged that the Blue nas a very remarkable line from tackle to tackle. Yale has not showed the promise of Harvards smoothness of play, but to date, also. Harvard has not been called on to direct its attack through or around any such rushline front as Yale will be able to present in the Stadium Luis afternoon. Game starts at 2 P.

Knratr Your Hull Kary READ WHITE 111 SUMMER STREET. REGAL BOSTON erally overlooked by those who have attempted to predict yhe result of the big game. Harvard does not have an unbeatable team by any means. Although the Crimson team is well drilled, strong in defense and made up of splendid it lacks the fire and determination that marks a great football team. Against Princeton, Harvard never woke up and exerted tier full power until the last three or four minutes of the game.

Then in one brief series of play, Harvard was irresistable. A team that cannot arouse itself until the game is lost hardly deserves to win and for this reason it is only fair to say that Harvard did not deserve to w'in against Princeton. If Harvard plays the same sort of a game against Yale, all of the handicap against the Blue will be uuiekly and effectively removed. If this Yale team gets the Jump on the Crimson and gets going the chances are that it will win. Yales chance, however, will depend upon the ability of Capt Callahans men to score with old-fashioned football against a strong Harvard defense.

It is idle to think of making touchdowns with this type of football against such defense that Harvard displayed against Princeton. Yale must have something besides straight football with which to carry the ball after she gets within striking distance of the Harvard goal. Right here. Yale has nothing except the toe of Jim Braden or Thorne Murphy to score a held goal. She has no effective forward pass or other surprise piav to carry the ball over the line.

In this respect Harvard, on the showing of the two teams to date, is greatly superior to Yale. The Crimson has displayed some open plays which are effective. Expect Victors Margin Will Be Small It will be surprising if either team should able to win by any considerable margin. On paper at least, there Is nothing to warrant the belief that either has greatly superior power over its rival. This statement Is made on the theory that neither of these teams are great football teams; both are crude and lacking in the power of great team play which makes a big score possible.

Whether it is the after effects of the war or the change of the coaching staff both at Cambridge and at Yale, the fact remains that neither team has any time displayed the polish, the alertness and the power of the best teams of Percy Haughton or of the best teams of the da vs of Walter Camp at Yale. Whether there will be any change in the Yale lineup over that of the Princeton game is doubtful. Allen went into the Trinceton game with a bad shoulder and was never at his best, and Robinson, who supplanted him, was an improvement in the line. On the other hand. Allen's work throughout the season was superior to that of Robinson.

Alien has the advantage of experience, anti if his condition is right tomorrow he will probably start the game. It is simply a case of physical condition against experience and an injured shoulder. With this exception, no change in the Yale lineup is contemplated. Braden has been resting since the Princeton game, but he is booked to start against Harvard and will probably finish it. 50,000 TO SEE GREAT HARVARD-YALE CLASH Continued From the First Page.

again, and todays engagement is the first campaign in the reconstruction. Likely to Start at Evens Two weeks back. Harvard, constantly threatening to score touchdowns against Princeton, was able only to tie the Tigers, 10 to 10. A week later the Jersey team, first emulating Harvard, tied the score after Yale had the vantage, then going Harvard one better winning the game on a slippery field when substitute Scheerer picked up a loose hall and scooted across the New Haven goal for a touchdown and victory. Today, in the betting.

Harvard is giving odds. Yale has demanded these because of last weeks failure to come through against the Tiger But the betting does not make the game, and to those who have followed the fortunes of the two great elevens this season the contest is going to be one between two teams which, if they can play their respective games, are bound to start at evens and probably will keep on going in this ratio for some time. Matter of Building From the Bottom It may be said that neither Harvard nor Yale this Fall' has a really remarkable elevens. Three years absence from college football has meant much to the players. Older men, some of whom played on the varsities three and four years ago.

seem to have been able to pick up their game where they dropped it just before the call to arms. Newcomers to the college game have demanded much coaching, particularly in the fundamentals, which are so necessary before Harvard Yale teams can be considered as being standard. Both at Cambridge and New Haven this Fall it has been a matter of building from the bottom. By reputation Yale perhaps has had the classier material. Physically and mentally, however.

Harvard has not been more tnan a step behind, and under the continuance of the Haughton system the Cambridge team hi3 come down to the scratch well drilled, speedy and provided with the sort of football which, if presented as a finished product, is sure to prove most dangerous. The Harvard team, holding closeto the tradition of the past 10 years, has gone along depending not so much on power, but on smoothness of attack, efficiency in a more or less open running game and one put on by players carefully instructed in position play and well grounded in the reauirements of interference. Preciseness in its offense is what Harvard has been aiming for ail season. This it has shown in its earlier games, although there has no.t been any tremendous goal-line drive to supplement the running game designed to carry the ball to within a striking distance of its rivals goal. New System in the Making At New Haven the Yale coaches have been laying the foundation of a new football system, with Dr A1 Sharpe, the Blue's great dropkicker of 20 years ago, as the director.

With Dr Sharpe have been associated many former Yale players, but most of them of an older school than the coaches Bob Fisher of Harvard has had working with him on the task of putting Harvard football back on the Haughton plane. While the Harvard coaching staff is comprised of former players, all of whom were developed for Crimson varsities under the Haughton regime, the Yale mentors had the task of building anew rather than to reestablish a system that had proved successful. It thus has happened that Yales team has been built along old lines. The New Haven rushline from tackle to tackle has been made the basis of the team. The coaches have aimed to provide power first and frills and strategies afterward.

A punch is what Yale has been after once the team was grounded on defensive play. In the game with the Tigers, Yales drive was no more successful in providing touchdowns than was Harvards more brilliant- game down in Jersey until Felton threw that final forward pass to Casey. The football game today does not hold its intense interest simply because it is Harvard and Yale that are getting together again at last, or because todays big contest comes after a three-year wait. The two elevens this Fall have been watched unusually keenly, and as the time has gone by neither has shown signs that could be taken to mean a dash for a glorious finish on Nov 22. The feeling for today is that it is anybody's game; that the battle will be between a team coached in clever detail play against one that has power and concerted action as the basis for its hopes.

Comparison of the Scores Harvard and Yale have played eight and seven games, respectively, this season and have had five opponents in common. Harvard beat Boston College, 17 to 0, and beat Yale, 5 to 3. Harvard's score against Brown was 7 and Yale's 14. Each team scored 20 points against Springfield Y. C.

Nov 21 The Essex County Country Club entertained an unusually quiet squad of Harvard football players this afternoon and evening in the 36 men who face Y'ale in the Stadium tomorrow. After an uneventful every man from Capt Murray to the second assistant managers left fo; c-lasses at the university this morning.

The athletes scctntd in fine condition and in spite of their lack of experience in facing the nervous strain preliminary to such a battle, were in the best of spirits. At 1:30 o'clock this afternoon the entire number left for the Country Club again. Examinations. fortunately, awaited none of them and they returned with minds free to take in every bit of information Coach Fisher had for them during the afternoon. The workout for the day -was certainly the lightest of the season.

Old clothes were good enough for the short, snappy signal (frill which the three elevens went into with a vim. Over confidence is not one of the attributes of Harvards representation for 1919. Ralph Horween. Capt Murray. Eddie Casey and Morris Ihinney, alone of.

the 13 men who may be used in the early part of the striggle With Y'ale. have faced the trials of a Crimson-Blue encounter. This quartet with the n-ne other players who really form the regular eleven have long since made up their minds on the hardest kind of a conflict. Ralph Horween and Jack Desmond, the two men who are causing, perhaps, more conjectures than any pair, aside from Eddie Casey and "Fido Kempton. were both aparently in trim shape, but neither worked as a full-fledged member of the first varsity outfit.

Desmond went through a tremendous ordeal two weeks ago in that history-making Princeton game, and although his injuries at that time were not dangerous he was so run down that his recovery has been the t-lowest on the squad. Even the elder Horween lm shown more strength, notwithstanding a more serious injury. Hut the two nun give no signs of disability, whatever their true condition may he. The practice was followed by a period spent by the players in absorbing every particle of knowledge that may help them in their great task. They eat around discussing generalship, what to do in such and such a case, until dinner time.

This evening proved to be somethin-of a lark for the boys. The best jazz players to be found among the college students were on hand with a number of first-rate songsters, and all combined in an effort to take the players' minds far away. Every man did his part in drill to perfect this broken field work and Coach Fisher believes that what he has. taught his players will bear fruit today. does not have the men down the field with Kempton to help him materially in running back his kicks.

The rushers, as they come down, are spilled if Y'ale can spill them, but this did not happen often in the Princeton game. Once loose, Kempton is as dangerous a broken field runner as is Eddie Casey of Harvard, and the twisting Murray, if lie rises to his schoolboy form, should cover many yards. Casey and Other Brilliants The teams as they will start probably will differ only in one place from the teams Harvard and Yale first entered against theTigers. Yale will open with the 'same lineup as a week ago, Allen, right end, having come back this week, and being the first choice again over Robinson- Harvard, if it does not at the last moment put Desmond In his old place at right end, will have two changes, but last night the coaches figured they could use Desmond, and surely they will do so if he looks all right just before the whistle sounds. If Desmond is in the game.

Arnold Horween will be the only new entry. He has become a very important factor in the Crimsons game. Against Yale he will be relied upon to provide tho drive on attack, and he is Harvards sturdiest defender behind the rush line also. Horween in all probability will range close to the rush line on defense, and Havemeyer may be looked for a little off to one side and in a position usually occupied by a halfback on the lookout fot a short pass, yet close in enough to be effective in driving into end plays as well as those thrust between the tackles. Casey will be farther back to handle kicks with Murray, if the ball goes in his direction and Casey can run back kicks.

Harvard's running game at Princeton was centered around Casey. For a long time be seemed Harvards only dependable running back. Had the Tigers been able to stop Caseys runs and beat him to the forward passes tossed off by Felton in that final quarter, the Jerseymen would stand today with two big wins to their credit instead of one. Harvard surely will not overlook Caseys abilitv to complete passes today. Eddie will also have Horween as a running uuxiliary and Humphrey is expected to show more versatility on attack than in any of his previous games.

It looks, therefore, as if Harvard would be able to play a variety of football on attack. Blue May Show More Open Play Yales game will be watched keenly for more open play than was shown against Princeton. In this game, except for a few laterals, the Blues offense was directed between the tackles, one of whom shifts to unbalance the line. The Yale backs stand across while Harvards are in tandem, ready for a drive. Yales backs jump to right and left just before the ball is snapped and are away like shots after coming to the shortest of momentary stops.

All year Yales backfield has been Into the line quicker than Harvard's have. The New Haven men have carried through better and the team has become a unit quicker at the point of concentration. Yale also has in Kempton a real halfback for attack and uses both direct passes and the feeder systems. What of end running and short forward passing. Yales attack will include, is something we all must guess.

Early in the season the Blue was using all varieties of play, but latterly the eleven has seemed to be concentrated in making its plays go straight to the objective point and full steam ahead. Strange Night Before Game Last night was a strange night before. Every hotel was crowded to the limit and arrivals on late trains can talk this morning about the sunrise. There have been plans made for more than 50,000 at the Stadium in the past, but the July restrictions certainly had an effect on the ante-Harvard-Yale game celebration. At last accounts the betting had swung from 10 to 8 to even money.

The llth-hour rumor last night was that Dr Sharpe of Yale had had a misunderstanding with the other New Haven coaches, but this was denied by all the Yale football men who couid be reached last night. Dr Sharpe himself and Capt Callahan said the rumor was too foolish even to deny. "I wonder where they get that stuff. said Tim. This morning the Harvard team will come-down from Manchester about It oclock and will have luncheon at the Varsity Club and then make tracks to the field.

The Yale players will start from the Belmont Springs C. C. shortly after noon. Both teams will have preliminary workouts in the- Stadium prior to their regular entry. Here's hoping you have a ticket old boy.

By ALBERT II. BARCLAY Ya1 has never been defeated by both Harvard and Irlnceton In any one year of tho 13 years of football history at New Haven. This briefly sums up the determination back of Capt Callahan's team to win from Harvard. Coupled with this determination is a team of brilliant Individual players with a wealth of substitutes, a weeks rest and tho stinK of the defeat by Trinceton last Saturday to goad them on. These are the elements which are conspieous In the makeup of the Yale team and on account of which Yale men refuse to concede tlie big game to the Crimson.

Yale cutne through the Princeton game without any injuries and will have available against Harvard all of the men who played against Princeton. The players are in probably better physical condition than they were a week ago, and in addition to this they have the experience of the Princeton game in back of them. No one who saw them at the Belmont Spring Country Club would have taken this Yale team for a defeated team. The men were in the best of spirits and there was an atmosphere pt confidence about them all. This is probably duo to the fact that the players feel they did not make their best showing agalrst rrlnceton and that they still have an even chance against Harvard.

The attitude of the Yale graduates is probably not so full of confidence. The graduates were disappointed in the showing of the team against Princeton, and the great majority are doubtful wt ether the Yale coaches can make over Capt Callahan's team in a single For this reason, Yale money was scarce even when offeied attractive odds. The graduates do not believe that Vale has the type of football this season which can win in the modern game. In spite of this feeling, it is a fact that Yale has a lot of plays of the open-game type which were not used in the Princeton game. Whether these will be available and useful against Harvard is something that no one can predict.

It is certain that against Frinceton Yale had nothing except the old, straight line plays, with some very crude, ineffective forward passes. Everyone Is satisfied that the Blue will have to have something better to win against Har-vard. Yale Facing Great Odds To sum the situation up from a Yale point of lew Yale is hopeful but very uncertain. On the showing of the team in. the Princeton game last Saturday, Harvard has a decided advantage.

The Crimson has had the experience of a He game with the Tigers and two weeks' rest to prepare for Yale. Yale has been defeated, first by Boston College and then by Princeton and has had a weeks rest in which to rally for the struggle with Harvard. It is a case of an undefeated team against a team that has been twice beaten and which throughout the season has been brilliant in individual players but weak In modern football. Capt Callahan's team ought to be a great football team. Yale has seldom, Jt ever, had such a wealth of splendid material, has never had such a big and splendid coaching staff, and yet lure almost never had such an unfortunate season.

In the 13 years of Yale football hls- tor.v. Yule had been beaten prior to this season Just nine times by teams other than Harvard and Princeton. The vic-torv of Boston College was the 10th that Yafe has suffered by outside teams. This, coupled with the defeat by Princeton. makes the present season almost the worst ever at New Haven.

It is, therefore, simply stating facts to say that Yule tomorrow is facing tremendous odds. A Crimson Point of Weakness fio much for the chances in favor of harvard. There is another phase of the situation, however, wtugj been gen Best of Conditions for Game It is pleasing to know that the two teams are going to play their game under the best of conditions. Only the heaviest of rainstorms now can interfere with well-nigh perfect footing for the 22 players, and a hard field will niean that each team can essay to play its game without handicap. Barring mistakes, which may and may not happen, the 50.000 in the concrete stands today are going to see for themselves whether Harvard's advanced football is going to hold sway over Vales style of play.

The New Haven idea this Fall is that the straightest way to the goal line is dead ahead, and the Blue has planned its attack with this in view. Harvard, relying on more angular shots at the Yale defenses, aims to get there, if not "through either bv going over or around the line. Yale comes to the scratch with two veteran players in its rushline, Capt Callahan at center and Galt at guard. These men are the keystones of Yales forward line. Dickens, Walker and Acosta have been brought up to match their play with the models.

Yale has good husky ends. Yales backs are individually strong and the blue has good kickers both for punting and drop-kick work. On Harvards line Clark, one of the guards, is the real veteran. The rush-line at Cambridge has been developed slowly, so long has it taken the coaches to make their final decisions. Frequent, indeed have been the letups in the play of much-needed men because of injuries.

mostly inconsequential, but still, nevertheless, injuries that meant inaction. The Crimson rushers are rangy and alert. The ends are not remarkable. Harvard, in Casey, has the most brilliant backfield man in the game. Yale, in Braden has a great line breaker, but Harvard expects that Ralph Horween will have a field day and will be the pendulum to swing results the Crimsons way.

If today is such a day as yesterday, conditions for the game will be ideal. On a field such as Dennis Enright has been able to groom this Fall, both Harvard and Yale should have no excuse to offer for anything except thec. best football Straight rushing game or forward passing will not be handicapped by slippery footing. For a kicking game the field also, is in prime condtion. Kicking Figures Importantly The kicking game and it should play an important part in the contest this afternoon is going to be one of the most interesting features.

Both elevens have good punters. Harvard in Humphrey and Yale in Neville. Both teams have geod auxiliary kickers, also. For dropkicking Yale has Braden, who against the Tigers twice booted the ball between the Jersey uprights. Harvard, when it starts the game, will have to depend on Capt Murray for its dropkicking.

as it did in the early part of the game in the Palmer Stadium two weeks ago. On Harvards sidelines, however. Coach Fisher will have Felton and R. Horween, both of whom can shoot accuratelv, not only from angles but from distance. Yale has up its sleeve Thorne Murphy, son of the old Yale trainer, who.

until the time he was hurt a few weeks ago. had all the earmarks of being the New Haven star of the year. The kicking game, to use a hiberni-c-ism. is not all kicking. It is handling kicks and covering them.

For the back-field work. Yale has Herbert Kempton, former Exeter and freshman star, who until the Princeton game was the flashiest runner-back of the season anywhere. In the game with the Tigers Kempton got going only once and then slipped and fell in the mud. Harvard relies on Murray to handle its kicks and he is also a sure-handed fellow. This is Murrays last game fo- Harvard, and his friends all look to see him play brilliantly.

The Crimson, when it receives kicks, has the catcher well protected, and running back punts and kickoffs also has been the Crimsons long suit this Fall. The open field interference developed by the Harvard team is expected to be, and should be. one of the elevens finest assets. It has taken weeks of MEDFORD. Nov 21 Tufts meets the Aggies tomorrow at Amherst in the final game of the season and are out to make up for lost time.

Coach Whelan having given defir.ite instructions to the squad that nothing short of a decisive victory will do. The team has had a very poor season, largely due to the internal friction at the time of the Yale game. The final practice on the Oval was attended by a large squad of players trying for a chance to make trip. The coach figured that the scrubs were primed up enough after three days scrimn. aging with the sophomores and freshmen, so called the game off.

The first and second elevens spent most of the afternoon working on the Whelan shift, expected to raise havoc with the Aggies rushline.
