 Yale easily defeated Rutgers yesterday as the large score showed. The game came of in Brooklyn at Washington Park on Sixth avenue, which is the ball ground of the city. It lies about twenty feet below the street level and has at the upper end of the field two large stands capable of seating 1,500 people. Eight hundred people had gathered on the grounds and in the stands when the rival teams appeared on the field. The Yale men were dressed in their well known dirt stained jackets and knickerbocksrs, present ing their motley yet busineRslike appear ancs. The Rutgers team won applause for Knickerbockers.
 At 3:20 the game began, Yale having the upper goal and having what little wind that was blowing in her favor. Terry kicked of for Yale. The ball passed rapidly from one side to the other. The playing during the first fifteen minutes was loose. Both teams muffsd badly and kept it up during the whole game. A great amount of kicking was done, the half backs kicking in preference to running in nearly every instance. Yale's tackling was in general very good, while Rut- gers was rarely 90. The Yale rusher line was very heavy, too heavy in fact for the light Rutgers men. Terry did all the kicking for Yale and did his full share of the running. Twombly, Farwell and Peters did excellent work also Bierman did most of the work for Rutgers.
 Soon after the ball was kicked of a run bySPeters took it nearly to Rutgers goal posts. Tompkins carried it over the line and 7scored the first touchdown for Yale. The ball was kicked out, but the try for 8 goal from the field was unsuccessful The ball was still kept near Rutgers goal and after some bad mufiug on both sides Twom- bly, made fair catch, from which an attempt was made to kick goal, which was unsuc- cessful. Three safety touchdowns for Rut- gers followed in rapid succession. Twombly by fine bit of playing, passed the ball to Peters, who made touchdown right behind the goal from which Terry kicked the first goal for Yale. Time, 15 minutes.
 Rutgers now had the kick oil ,and tried the old trick of touching 1t to the ground and then running with it. This was tried every time, but without success in gaining ground. After much kicking and passing, -FarWeL ob- tained the ball and by quick lodging made a fine run, placing the ball right behind the goal posts, from which Terry kicked the second goal.
 The ball when put in play again was kept in the air by long kicks from the half backs At last Co1e seized 1t and made long run He was stopped in front of the goal posts. The ball was passed back to Terry, who kicked goal from the field. A beautiful run by Farwell, though short, placed the ball again in front of the goal, when Terry kicked 8 second goal from the field.
 Rutgers kicked of squarely this time and the ball was at once rushed to the 25 yards line by Williams, who was tackled there, but passed the ball to Farwell; he by Q skilIful run placed the ball behind the goal posts and from this touchdown Terry kicked the fifth goal for Yale. Rutgers after the kick of wR9 forced to make two safety t0uchdowns and try at goal was unsuccessful. Coxe then made good run to the side of the field and secured a touchdown. The ball was punted out, but the try at goal failed. Another chance was given, but failed also. After more rushing, however, the teams again lined up in front of the goal and Terry kicked the sixth goal from the field; time 15 minutes. The ball was kicked of by Rutgers and came for the only time during the day within dan- gerous proximity to the Yale goal. Twice it was stopped within five yards of the goal and was inside the 25 yard line when time was called. The score this half Yas thres
