Harvard has been more successful than Yale in the preliminary season and the problem has been to choose an eleven from exceptionally good material rather than to break in new men, as Yale has been compelled to do. Five out of the seven men in Harvard's line played in last year's Yale game, and two of the backs have replaced men who were on the team last year.
