A vintage Yale crowd sings rousing lyrics about football prowess and school pride. The chorus calls for victory over Harvard with references to Cantain Rodgers and Captain Rodgers, urging a triumphant New Haven return. The piece blends marching song with spirited taunts and campus anthems.
Harvard and Yale experts weigh strength and spirit ahead of the big game. Many predict Harvard will win with a superior team condition, yet caution Yale may spring surprises. Both sides praise readiness, coaching, and fitness, with emphasis on field conditions and potential turnovers.
Yale players and supporters arrived at the Vendome in a somber mood as Harvard confidence looms. Yale hopefuls like Rodgers and Bass emphasized readiness while internal doubts over lineup persisted and Princeton and Penn fans watched closely.
Deputy Superintendent Burrill announced police plans for the football game. Twenty mounted officers will be outside the enclosure and Captain Warren of Brighton Station with a lieutenant sergeant and fifty-five patrolmen will keep order inside. Twenty special officers, in plain clothes with badges, will assist. The crowd is expected to be 30 000 to 35 000. All duty pay comes from the management, not the city. Officers report at Soldiers Field at 11. A lunch will be provided before positions are taken for the afternoon.
