The Haverford Cricket Game Today.

The game today between Harvard and Haverford will probably be close. The Haverford team is stronger in bowling, while our eleven has better batsmen. In fielding the teams ought to be about even. The Haverford men have been working since Christmas, under the instruction of Woodcock, the college professional. Their captain, Bailey, is on the first eleven of the Merion C. C. He bowls fast round arm, with a good deal of curve and break. Martin, a slow bowler with a both off and leg-break is on the first eleven of the Young America club. Muir one of the best batsmen is on the eleven of the Belmont club.

In the past Harvard has played two games with Haverford, both at Philadelphia, and Haverford has won both, the score of the first game being 74 to 102, and the second 65 and 48 for 8 wickets, to 147.

Owing to the rain of the post few days the wickets today will be very soft, and consequently the bowlers ought to have things very much their own way. We have never up to now won an intercollegiate game, and, as the eleven this year is without doubt the best that Harvard has yet put into the field, we may look forward with some confidence to the result of today's game.
