NEW YORK, n. Y, NOV. To- ate de-
feated the Orange Athletic Club football
team to-day in a loosely played game by
the score of 26 to Q. The day was clear and
favorable for good contest, but the soggy
condition of Manhattan field made the
footing very unstable, and as conse-
ouence neither side was able to show up in
the best form.
The game was characterized by great
deal of kicking on both sides, and on their
-interchanges of punts the two elevens were
very evenly matched during the first part
OF the. game, but later on Yale succeeded
in. gaining considerable ground by this
means.
For some time after the ball was put in
play the Jersey men seemed to be getting
a little the best of their opponents, going
through their line and around the ends for
some very good gains. But it did not take
long for Y ale to become acquainted with
tlAir style-of play, and thereafter Yale's
possession OF the. ball was almost sure
guarantee of its being advanced well on
toward the Orange goal line. Orange was
clearly outplayed at every point. Espe-
clally during the last half their line was
utterly unable to Withstand the onslaughts
of Old EH's backs.
Behind the line the formation of the men
was so slow that their opponents were able
to nip the play in the bud. On one or two
occasions when the Orange goal was in
danger, the team massed together and for
a time prevented Yale from scoring. But
when the latter put forth their best efforts,
Orange quickly gave way before them.
On receiving a Kick from Orange, Yale
would form. their interference quickly and
in this way gained considerable ground.
During the second half Yale had found
the weak spots in the Orange line, and,
when. the latter attempted to kick, the
Yale tackles were often on hand to prevent
the play.
Two. of the .touchdowns scored were al
most: directly due to blocked kicks.
Orange on the other hand, had not a
single blocked kick that could be put down
TO their credit. On the whole, Yale very
much excelled Orange in the work of her
backs, while her line proved sufficiently
strong to prevent any great gains
through it:
PHILADELPHIA, Pa: Nov. 16.-The
first ,annual football game between the
freshman teams of Harvard and Pannsyl-
vania was played to-day on Franklin
fields, and the boys from Cambridge won
by a score. of II to 4.
Both teams played surprisingly good
and fast football for elevens made up Of
Young players. Harvard bad much the
heavier team, and as the ground was sim
ply a quagmire from recent rains, the
weight of the crimson gave them a big
advantage.
In the first half Harvard tore up
Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania was on the
defensive the whole time and play was en-
tirely in their territory. In the second
Harvard weakened perceptibly and the
play was fairly even.
