The weights of the two teams are seen to balance pretty evenly. Harvard is a little heavier in her rush line, Yale in her backs. The three centre men on the opposing sides differ in weight by less than a pound, but at this point Yale has the advantage of greater experience. Hickok, Stillman and McCrea are all veterans, while on the Harvard side the two Shaws have never before been in a big game. What the result will be can not be foreseen.

Probably no name has been more widely known in connection with the game of football than that of Walter Camp, the coach of the Yale elevens, which have so long been victorious. Since his graduation from Yale in 1880, Mr. Camp has been the leading spirit in the development of football at that college. His early experience peculiarly fitted him to take such a part. For six years he played on the Yale 'varsity eleven, of which he was twice captain, and he was in every Harvard and Princeton match during that time. When he was finally forced to give up play, he still retained a keen interest in football, and was a warm supporter of the game before it was as firmly established in popularity as it is today. His chief field of action, however, has always been at Yale. As her leading coach, the invention of many of her most effective plays must be credited to him, while from year to year he has been very largely instrumental in determining her general football policy. The success of Yale is Mr. Camp's highest praise.
