The team which Harvard will face at Springfield tomorrow is probably the strongest team Yale has ever put in the field. Captain Rhodes began the season with a nucleus of old and experienced players; besides himself there were Heffelfinger, Hartwell, the two Morisons, McClung and Harvey; in addition Williams and C. Bliss had had some experience and had shown themselves valuable men. Holcomb had served an apprenticeship of three years on the second eleven, and Wallis, Mills, Adams and Crosby had all done good work in the same training school. Barbour had done good work at Exeter and on the freshman team last year, and finally, N. Bliss, an incoming freshman, had promised well when at Andover.

This indeed does not end the list of candidates, but it is from these men that the team is to be chosen which will represent Yale tomorrow. It is a team which is certain to give Harvard a hard light. It began the season weakly, but the following table of the games played shows how steadily has been the improvement, especially during the month of November:
