YALE IA; V. OF F. 6.

YALE IA; V. OF F. 6. An Exciting Game on Manhattan Field, New York, Last Saturday. Eighteen Thousand Spectators Press ent-Weakness Revealed In Yaless Defense-VaiI,s Removal Necessitat- ed. The Yale Varsity football team defeated the eleven of the University of Pennsyl- vania on Manhattan field, New York oity, last Saturday by score of IA to 6 after a hard fought game. It would be hard to tell which team felt the most like victors after the game. Yale won the game to be sure, but she revealed weakness in her de- fense that bodes no good to the eleven when it meets the strong teams of Harvard and Princeton, while Pennsylvania by scoring and by three times taking the ball so far into Yale's territory that her full back was enabled to try for goal from the field, did all that she expected to. It is impos- sible to infer from the score just how close 1t was. It was not until but one minutes play was left in the first half that Yale scored. The ball had been on Pennsyl- vania's twenty five yard line and few ex- pected that either side would make point. Yale, however, by @ series of desperate rushss carried the ball to within one yard of Pennsylvania's goal line. When the ball was put in play Butterworth, Ysle's full back, with 8 bull-like rush, carried it over. The touchdown yielded a goal and Yale had 6 points.
 It was in the second half, when Pennsyl- vania made her goal, that the excitement reached its highest pitch. Yale had scored for the second time, and Pennsylvania, goaded to desperation by the idea of being shut out altogether, brought the ball to the center of the field for supreme effort. She began well, ,one of her feet-footed half backs gaining ten yards, his comrades hauling and pushing him along. Then she gained five more and her success gave her confidence. She gained another five, and then Oagood, her crack fullback, set Penn sylvania's heart afre by making brilliant run of fifteen yards. Yale seemed demor- alizsd and unable to resist. For once she lost her spirit, and before she knew Knipe had carried the ball over the line for 8 touchdown. Immediately every Pennsyl- vania man seemed to go stark crazy. They climbed over the fences, through the bar rier of ropes, swept the police out of the way and dashed upon the field. They hug ged their players and hoisted them on their shoulders, each one meantime yelling as only @ collegian can yell.
 In the second half it was thought that Yale would adopt the defensive tactics used by Princeton against the Quakers when they were in the lead, but such was not the case. Hinkey's boys went at their work with will, and started the ball down the field toward the PsnnsylYania goal. As thsy got within ten yards of the post, little Vail, the quarterback of the Philadelphia institution, was trampled up on, and he laid on the ground in a faintipg condition. The doctor and the attendants tried to revive him, but 1t was useless, and he was carried of the field, Williams talk ing his place. As he was being conveyed to the clubhouse he opened bis eyes and said feebly:
 '.Don't do this, boys, want to play. Til be all right in minute or two."' The surgeon, however, refused to listen to this appeal, and told the player that he was in no condition to continue. He was advised to go to the clubhouse and secure medical attendance.
 ''Hang the medical attendance, boys," he exclaimed, as big tears rolled down his cheeks. "Drop me right here. I'll see this game if have to die for It." The substitutes placed their sweaters on the ground, and the injured player, after borrowing big coat from a bystandsr, ] laid on the ground, and, with moistened l eyes, watched the defeat of his colleagues. | It was touching scene. Vail was hardly | able to speak above a whisper, and he | cried as though his heart would break. Once, however, he saw that Williams was l about to make misplay. He got up on his elbows, and, as loudly as he could, shouted in tina to call the players atten- ! tion to the mistake.
 It was by the desperate efforts of Butter | worth that the second touchdown was | tallied. He dashed through the center and | gained ground in manner that caused the l spectators to look on with surprise. He | managed to crawl through the smallest | openings, and by his clever work endeared | himself to the heart of every Yale man present.
 Thorne injured his foot in the second half, and limped off the field. Hinke, ! went to quarter back, and Cochran tool his place At quarter back the Yale cap
 tain distinguished himself by some dssper ate work. To the Pennsylvania line he appeared to be as slippery as sn eel, and made some pretty plays. Once. when the ball was on the five yard mark, Hinkey had it, and was underneath half dozen players of the opposing team, but he man aged to gain. A moment later he was in a similar play.
 "Push mo over, boys," he shouted, af the Pennsylvanisue clung to his head neck, arms and legs. The Yale men carried oul the order, and with the whole Pennsylvanis team on top of him the Yale captain got l the ball about six inches over the line. Il l was 8 mcst desperate piece of work, and the successful player WAS warmly applaud ed.
 Receiver Freedman said that there were ,OO0 spectators present, and he estimated
 the receipts ct $30.OO Strange to say
 the Quakers outnumbsred the Yale mer
 two to one. They came over from Phila
 in all quarters. The open seats on the eas
 side of the grounds were occupied by tn;
 Pennsylvanians, but the Yale men were
 ecstterad all over the field and stands
 The Harvard and Princeton teams wer,
 present. The latter wore large yellow
 chrysanthemums in their buttonholes ani
 cheered both teams. Harvard's team, a
 regards bes:owing applause, was very con
 servative.
 Little Phil" King was to be seen in al
 parts of the field. He was studying Yale'
 tactics and making notes of the different
 plays of Hinkey and his men.

 Hinkey's left eye came in contact with Os
 goods fiat, and he now sports as pretty g
 black eye as ever adorned the face of a pro
 fsssional pugilist. Rhodes. the Yale coach
 too, had row with some unknown persor
 and was roughly handled.
 The police arrangements were of the mos
 unsatisfactory character. Big, ignoran
 officers allowed the spectators to jump iron
 the seats and crowd on the field undis
 turbed. Whenever Inspector Conlin ol
 Captain Killilea came around, in order te
 make a showing, they would grab some re
 porter who had right on the field and
 push him back to ths lines. If the ar
 engagements are not perfected by Thanks

 game.
