This afternoon, on Soldiers Field, the Freshman eleven will play its one great game of the year with Yale. The team has been unfortunate lately in losing some of its regular men, and having to shift others around to take their places. Nevertheless they have enjoyed first-class regular coaching, have had good material ready for development, and have shown themselves capable of playing an unusually strong game.

There is every reason, then, why they should go into the game today with dash and confidence, prepared to play the best they know how and win. This event marks a crisis in their class history, and is of no small importance to the University. The record of past Freshman contests has been highly creditable to Harvard, and she expects the 1901 team to prove its merit and add another victory to the list.
