The University football team will contend for the championship of the East this afternoon when it opposes Yale in the new Bowl at New Haven at 2 o'clock. From all indications the struggle for supremacy will be even more thrilling than many of the time-honored battles in which the elevens of the two institutions have contested in past years.
The University season has been unique in the history of Harvard football. Injuries have noticeably handicapped the eleven by retarding the development of team-play. Yet this afternoon the team will go on the field with the strongest line-up it has presented for the last six weeks and with numerous substitutes on which to rely in case of injuries to the regulars.
The men are in perfect condition, the student body is behind the team to a man and, regardless of the ultimate outcome, it is certain that the team will have played to the limit of its ability. This afternoon's struggle is not only one in which the championship of the East hangs in the balance; with its decision, one or the other of two styles of attack will fall. It is a question of the survival of Yale's wide open game, or the rushing-punting method of play used by the University.
