SOLDIERS FIELD, November 13, 1897.- At twelve o'clock the first comers began to appear on the field, and at 1.40 the streets leading from the street railways were crowded with Harvard and Yale enthusiasts. By two o'clock the seats were crowded to their utmost. The Associated Press flag on the south stand gave evidence of a free head wind blowing straight down the field.

At 1.50 the Yale section started its songs, which were followed closely by spasmodic bursts of cheering. About this time the Harvard Band crossed the field and took up a position in front of the Harvard section. Harvard then gave its first cheer, every man on the South stand responding with enthusiasm. The crimson colors were very much more in evidence than the blue, as with the exception of the Yale stand, the blue was sparsely scatted about the field.

At 2 o'clock Harvard came on the field and was received with great enthusiasm. Yale soon followed and the teams began kicking and starting.

Yale won the toss and chose the west goal with the wind.

The teams lined up as follows:
