THE GAME TONIGHT.

The hockey game this evening between Harvard and Yale calls for special comment. To begin with it is the first hockey game between these two Universities which has been reasonably accessible to us in Cambridge. Heretofore the final game of the Harvard season has been held on the St. Nicholas rink in New York. This year it is to be held in Boston. Secondly, this is one of the few times that a series of two and possibly three games has been arranged. As a result hockey appears in a new light to undergraduates, and there is a chance for them not only to see the game, but to support the team. We are glad to see that this opportunity has been taken advantage of, for yesterday morning the seating capacity was already practically exhausted.

With this game appearing to us in this new light, and under such different conditions, there has been much interest taken in regard to the result of tonight's contest. As a game in itself it promises quite as good an exhibition of hockey as any game played this year in the Arena. To be sure Harvard is superficially the superior owing to its remarkable showing against McGill and Princeton. Yet any one who has ever seen a contest between Harvard and Yale in any sport realizes that the game will be hardfought and brilliant, and that neither side can go into the contest with any overconfidence.
