Yale, 4; Brown, o.
Yale met Brown on the gridiron at New
Haven yesterday afternoon in hard
fought contest and when time was called
at the close of the second half four lonely
points were all that the large crowd of
SPECTATORS had with which to content
themselves. The game was perhaps a fair
one for SO early in the season. The play
was snappy and hard, but the tackling was
uncertain and there was little or no In
terference.
Brown openly stated before the game
that she expected to score and one of her
players remarked after the contest that
she had played kicking game in the first
half in the hope Of securing touchdown
against the men whom Capt. Thorne sub
stituted in the second half. In this the
Providence men were considerably dis
appointed, however, as they did not get
as near the Yale line as in the first half.
when they were once within twenty yards
of the coveted goal.
There was some little misunderstanding
in regard to the rules, but not enough to
interfere seriously with the game.
Two ffteen-minute halves were played
and 1t required twelve minutes for Yale
to score her first and only touchdown,
Thorne carrying the ball over the line In
the second the ball went from one side to
the other upon downs and kicks and time
