Coach Howie Odell's eleven will come into the Bowl tomorrow at its mental, if not physical, peak for the 1945 season. Their hopes for a successful Ivy League record blasted by a tremendous upset at the hands of Brown three weeks ago, the Elis came back in the second half of last week's Princeton game to gain a leg of the Big Three championship and begin a psychological upswing that will make them a tough team to beat at New Haven tomorrow afternoon...

Weather permitting, 40,000 fans will be on hand in the Bowl at 1:30 o'clock for the contest, which despite the odds can hardly fall to be a down-to-the-wire battle. Last-minute predictions call for cloudless skies and air on the snappy side, a combination which ought to help fill the huge New Haven stadium, capable of holding 72,000 people...

Dick Harlow will not find his team at peak strength for the encounter, for Leo Flynn, sparkplug of the Cantabs' offense all season until his injury in the Merchant Marine game, will see little if any action in the Bowl. With his leg in almost perfect shape for the final contest this week, he pulled the tendon once again in a practice session Wednesday.

That is not to say that there haven't been outstanding unexpected triumphs. Within the last decade alone one great team from each of the participants has met defeat at the hands of an underrated opponent. In 1939 Torby Macdonald's powerhouse eleven waltzed into the Bowl to be overwhelmed 20 to 7 in a contest in which the visitors could not score until the final seconds of the game. Even more spectacular was the 13 to 6 defeat of Clint Frank's undefeated squad in 1937 by a well-coached Crimson aggregation...

Another of these encounters that seem on the pages of the record book to be going out of their way to spoil something was the one that officially opened the new Bowl. 1914 was the year; the score: Harvard 36, Yale 0. Just to prove that it wasn't a freak, the Crimson made it 41 to 0 the following year...
