YALE 5a. AMHERST O.

A Large Crowd Witnesses the Yale. Amherst Football Game at the Field | -Amherst Does No Brilliant Work Yale Shows Up Well. |
 The beautiful weather yesterday after noon brought out large crowd to the Yale field to see the battle-scarred veterans of the varsity line up against the purple legged boys from Amherst. It wss the largest crowd of the season, and while they did not have much chance to applaud the work of the visitors, they did succeed in finding several occasions when a dslirious yell for Yale was distinctly the proper csrer. Amherst is weaker this year than she was last, but her players were just as Ql9eky as ever and had 1t not been for sev- eral costly fumbles the score would have been cut down nearly twenty points. Yale played all of her team during the two thir- ty-minute halves and each man showed up to good advantage. Seldom has 8 game been played where there were as many long runs made as in yesterdays game and four of these were aukes in the boldest sense. Hinkey made two touchdowns from them, and the way this bunch of spiral springs and Jersey lightning, otherwise known as "The Silent," played football was 8 eau tion. He was veritabls fsnd. Hinkey has the faculty of always doing the right thing at the right time and he is always after the ball. His playing this year prom- ices even to outshine that of last year and the one previous.
 Yesterday the work of the Yale me was the feature of their playing. The inter felence was not as strong on around the end plays az it Is sometimes, but the for. | wards made holes in the line big enough to drive ton of hay through and then when Amherst tried to get around the end the1r interference was smashed as If 1t had l run up against bsttsring ram. The tack ling of the Yale team was as vicious as the most bloodthirty could wish for and 1t speaks we'll for the big games. Butter. worth made his appearance in the second half, and though not worked very hard he showed that he could kick when an oppor- tunity was given for him to push his mule= at quarter could hardly have been i'm proved upon end he tackled the big Am herst guards with reckless abandon that was positively refreshing to the old time footballists. Armstrong put up great game at half, and made some splendid scores. He is improving daily and squirms and dodgss in regular "Bum" McClung style. All of the tackles did well and Hickox electrified the crowd by the manner in which he kicked goals. He only missed one and that was blocked. In | the first half blonde headed Thorne was injured about the head and Hall wss sub stituted.
 The first and second touchdowns were made by Armstrong after steady work down the field and the third was scored by Hall in like manner. The fourth went to Hinkey, who got the ball on tumble at the thirty yard line and sprinted round the ends for 8 touchdown. This ended the first half, with the score 22 to 0.
 i; Amherst failed to advance the ball snd In fact only once during the whole game did they get the oval down to Yale's twenty-yard line. Armstrong was finally pushed over for the fifth touchdown Hickey" got in his work here by grab
 bing the ball at the center of the field on , tumble and aided by interference, sue
 oeeded in getting it over. It was great sprinting for Hickox. Beard got the nex . touchdown in almost the same manner a from the center of the field and Hall wal again showed over for the eighth. Tn, last touchdown was made by Hinkey Butterworth kicked and when the Am
 herst full back fumbled Hinkey picked i
 up and sprinted over the line. This mad,
 the final score 52 to O. The teams lined u, az follows:
