The game there this afternoon will be a struggle between team work and individual playing; for the Yale team has been working all the fall under careful training, while the Harvard eleven is almost entirely made up of men who have but recently left the 'varsity squads.

There was the same elock-like regularity in their movements and wonderful steadiness under all conditions which is one of the striking features of Yale elevens. The fierce, sudden...
