The game this afternoon between Harvard '96 and Yale '96 promises to be of extreme interest. The juniors of Harvard will doubtless be present in a body, but they should not be alone. Wholly apart from the naturally keen rivalry between the two colleges in every field, there will be today the extra attraction of a thoroughly good game. The Yale class nine is reported to be very strong, and there can be no doubt that the Harvard nine, at least in fielding, is above the average of class teams. The playing should be good even though judged by an absolute, and no mere relative, standard.

The Yale team will be by their own offer away from their home grounds. Harvard men must see that they do not on that account suffer any disadvantage. Impartiality under the circumstances, can not be expected or desired, but a generous consideration of the visiting team, and a fair appreciation of their good play, is perfectly compatible with partiality for the home players.

It will be interesting during the game to follow the fortunes of the University nine against Princeton. This will be their first really important game of the season, and the best wishes of the entire University will be with them today.
