ENDURANCE MAY BE WINSOR TRUMP CARD WITH YALE TONIGHT

Harvard's endurance may prove the winning factor against Yale tonight at the Arena. This advantage is partially offset, however, by the Blue's slight superiority in the second string line. To a certain extent frequent substitutions can make up for deficiencies in stamina.

Harvard has faced this year an unusually stiff schedule, with a preponderance of engagements with Canadian or League teams. Harvard has lost, but in so doing has come up against combinations of higher power than itself. Harvard's pace has steadily quickened.

Yale, on the other hand, has run through an easy schedule with easy success. It is in this connection that the significance of the games last Saturday and Monday appears. Both against the Mass. Aggies and Dartmouth the Blue team was in action but 22 1-2 minutes, as all periods were slashed in half to 7 1-2 minutes. The reduction was due to the ten-day break in training during examinations which preceded the games.

Yale Has Strong Reserves

In the reserve strength Yale's advantage becomes conspicuous, for Stout, Ferguson, and Farnsworth come a shade nearer in ability to the Eli forwards than do Hill, Gardner, and Austin to the Crimson front ranks, although the last named in particular has been skating close on Walker's heels. On the defense Yale has a pronounced edge for tonight's engagement at least, because Crosby's and Hammond's injuries will inevitably slow up their work. The elevation of Graves, together with Harding, from the seconds bodes no collapse of the University points, however, as in all probability neither of them will get into the game.

The New Haven defensive line, on the other hand, is well situated for material. Captain O'Hearn is now quite recovered from his football injury, and will be able to put everything he has into tonight's contest. Throughout his period of recuperation his place has been filled by Potts, last year's Freshman captain, who is thus breaking into first-string form. Left defense is held by Sargent, the highest scorer this season; he is backed up by Cole and Cottle.

The season's play has shown that speed is Harvard's forte and Yale's lack, but it may well be that this advantage is wiped out by the difference in the defense line, where the Blue is powerful and the Crimson weakened.
