Much scepticism is expressed in sports circles as to the authenticity of Coach Mal Stevens starting line-up as announced last night. The Blue mentor stated that he would start, Albie Booth, Yale's injured flash at quarterback with Harlan Ellis, Ned Austen and Don McLennan as running mates. Inasmuch as this backfield has virtually never been together, some have aired their doubts as to whether Stevens actually means to start it. The only possible alternative seems to be McLennan at quarter with Snead, Miller, and Dunn at the other posts...
...performance of Albie Booth this afternoon will in all probability have a decisive influence on the final outcome of the game. If the shifty Blue Sophomore can reach the heights to which he attained in several of the season's earlier contests, the feeling in the higher New Haven circles seems to be that the Elis will emerge victorious.

It was he who scored the touchdown against a Booth-captained Yale Freshman eleven last year; he also pitched the 1932 baseball team to a win over Yale last Spring, fanning 13 Blue batters...

...clear-out-Yale victory. In 1927, Yale, with an infinitely stronger team than Harvard was only able to score on a couple of long brilliant individual runs. Last year she was completely outplayed. What is the purpose of this comparison. Merely to point out that Yale has in Booth one of the best drop-kickers in the country this season, and that Harvard has at least two who compare very favorably even with him. Also to point out that all Harvard needed to win the Michigan game was three points, and that Yale last Saturday against Princeton made several long...
