Appearance of the Teams.It was a little after two o'clock when the huzzas of the assembled faithful announced the arrival of the Harvard eleven on the field. As the men dodged under the rope, headed by Capt. Cumnock, and trotted down the field, thousands of crimson flags waved enthusiastically in the air, and thousands of voices, joined in the general chorus of welcome. When the Yale team arrived a few minutes later, Yale men vied with Harvard enthusiasts in cheering their favorites. Both teams went at their practice with a determination which told plainly how the game was to be fought.
It was 2.35 o'clock when referee Irvine gave the signal for the teams to prepare for the fray. Captain Rhodes had won the toss, and Harvard was forced to face the wind. The teams lined up for the word as follows:
HARVARD. YALE.
