Two "Bills"

Lining up today's game with Dartmouth is not so easy as might first appear. Offhand one would be tempted to give the Crimson heavy odds against its Big Green opponent, but Dartmouth has two good reasons for not doing so, namely, Bill McCall and Bill Morton.

McCall, a substitute for two years, has turned out this season as the greatest running back on the team. An 84-yard run-back of the opening kick-off in the Holy Cross game literally gave the contest to the Big Green, while if he hadn't been caught from behind in the Columbia clash after a 68-yard sprint, that fracas might have ended in a tie. In the epic battle with Yale last Saturday this great ground-gainer piled up more yards than any other back in the game, not excluding Albie Booth, and pulled off some remarkably spectacular runs. Dartmouth's other great threat, Bill Morton, put on last year one of the most beautiful exhibitions of kicking seen in the Stadium for a long time, and his accurate toe was the chief factor in his team's 7 to 2 victory over the Crimson. But good as these two backs may have been this season and last, the rest of their team has been pretty well shot to pieces and they themselves received a bad mauling from the Eli players last week-end.

"A Sickly Silence Settled--"

According to all statements, from that of the coach to that of members of the college, nothing but gloom has pervaded the football atmosphere in the New Hampshire hills. However the Big Green has only to exact a tie out of the Crimson today in order to leave themselves still in a 5 to 4 lead in the post-war series of the two colleges. On the whole string of games Harvard has won 18 as against its rival's seven, but until the resumption of football relations after the war the New Hampshire players had only vanquished the Cambridge men twice.

Although Holy Cross looms up as the Crimson's strongest opponent in the near future, Coach Casey will risk everything to keep up his clean record this afternoon. In spite of the fact that the Crusaders sustained a defeat at the hands of Dartmouth a couple of weeks ago, their recent crushing victory over an undefeated Brown team gives them a higher rating than their erstwhile conquerors. Both the Crusaders and Elis are laying up for the best Harvard eleven that has been seen in years. Holy Cross will start its second string lineup against Duquesne this afternoon, although it has never played this college and knows less than nothing about its potentialities; yet Coach McEwan is taking no chance of harming any of his already slightly injured first-stringers.

Elis in Stadium Today

Yale will have most of its varsity squad down in Cambridge watching the Crimson playing the same team which made such a great comeback against the Elis last week; the remainder of the Blue forces will be saved to guard against any surprises by St. John's, although any such chances would appear very weak in view of the 59 to 0 rout to which they were subjected early in the season by Western Maryland. Next week the Elis earn a complete rest, which from both a psychological and physical viewpoint, should key them up to a far better pitch than their traditional rivals. The Yale Daily News seems to thoroughly share in this sentiment, as they are credited with this bold-hearted assertion, in reference to the unemployment collection slated for the epic Harvard-Yale clash: "The spectators will give freely only if their favorite team is winning, so if the managers are wise the Crimson side of the Stadium will be canvassed first before it gets too discouraged." --BY TIME OUT.
