Whether the weather be favorable or not, however, one thing is certain, that the College will be overrun with visitors, as seldom before. Not only will large numbers of graduates be present, but it is to be hoped and expected that many Yale men will take the opportunity to stay over a day or two with friends in Cambridge.

Substitutes. Boyden is slow and cool. A crowd does not rattle him in the least. He is a fast runner, and dodges well; but he does not tackle in first-class shape. Bancroft is slow in getting through, and very apt to overrun his man when going down the field. He watches his end well, but plays too little as a part of the team, not following the ball enough.
