This evening the Harvard Whist Team will play a match of duplicate whist against the team of the Philadelphia Whist Club. As the Philadelphia team ranks as one of the strongest in the country, Harvard will have a hard fight to win.
The match will be played under the team-of-six system, which was found so successful in the Harvard-Yale match last year.
The Harvard team will consist of W. T. Denison '96, J. D. Arnold L. S., E. H. Brown '96, J. H. Peck L. S., C. S. Thurston L. S., and C. D. Booth '96, captain. Of these men Denison and Booth are the only ones who played on the team against Yale last year. Arnold and Brown won high places in the tournament, while Peck and Thurston were members of the Yale team.
The Philadelphia players are E. Stanley Edwards, captain, C. W. Hill, W. H. Watson, B. H. Lowry, Dr. J. S. Neff, and W. A. Hawley. Referee, Lander M. Bouve, of the American Whist Club in Boston.
