The Freshman eleven at 10.30 today renews its annual conflict with the Eli yearlings at New Haven. The chances of victory seem evenly divided, although on a wet field, Yale's superior, weight will give them a slight advantage. Where the Crimson team is light and fast the Yale eleven is clumsy and slow to get started.
Both teams have been defeated during the season, but Harvard has the cleaner record with only one defeat in five games as compared to Yale's loss of two out of four. The Princeton Freshman defeated both the University and Yale yearlings, the former 13-0 and the latter 22-0. In the first game of the season Yale was beaten 17 to 7 by Exeter, and Exeter later lost to the University by a 14-12 score.
In comparative scores the Crimson yearlings show up well, but the weight of the Yale team will be a big factor. From tackle to tackle the Yale line averages over 205 pounds, as against 175 pounds per man for the University. In the backfield Yale also has an advantages of 19 pounds per man. H. Herr, Yale's left guard, will be the heaviest man in the game, weighing 240 pounds, with a height of five feet ten inches.
The rival captains, C. C. Buell for the University, and R. E. Jordan for Yale, are graduates of Pomfret and Exeter, respectively. Buell is 19 years old, weighs 150 pounds, and is 5 feet eleven eight inches in height. Jordan, 21 years old, weighs 195 pounds, with a height of five feet eleven inches. Buell has played in every game this season.
For the first time since the game with Worcester Academy, the Freshmen today have no first-string men out with injuries. P. B. Kunhardt, L. De Jonge. V. Chapin and R. Martin, who have been out most of the season, are all back in condition and may play in today's game. The substitute backfield consists of R. Martin, J. H. Dempsey, P. E. Wilson and C. Cummings, all of whom have played in at least one game this season. Kunhardt, De Jonge and C. C. Lee are the most probable candidates for line substitutions.
