M. C. A. Yale has lost all three of her important games, with Princeton, Pennsylvania, and Cornell while the University lost the Pennsylvania and Princeton games but tied the Cornell game, 2-2. Both the Crimson and the Blue teams are evenly matched so that a close game is expected. The probable line-up of the University team is: g., Washburn; r.f.b., Carpenter; l.f.b., Glaser; r.h.b., Masters, c.h.b...
