Interesting and valuable as the games with the Bostons and the other professional teams have been, the first contest of our nine with another college team should attract a particularly large number of men to Jarvis Field this afternoon. It will afford perhaps the best opportunity we have had this year of judging what may be expected of our nine in the Yale games.
