Yalo's football victory over the Carlisle In.
dams at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon
was clean cut. 1t demonstrated that the blue
eleven is superior to that of the redskins. but
there was just one drawback. An unfortunate
decision by the referee, who was undoubtedly sin
cere, but did not clearly see the play in question:,
gave an extra touchdown to Yale which should
never have been scored. In all other respects
the Indians woro outplaycd, although they dis
playedsome superb football tactics before the bat
tie came to an end. The final score should have
been IS to IL. but with tho extra touchdown and
goal Yale's total was raised to 81. while an easy
goal failure kept tho Indians score down to .
points-a touchdown and a magnificent goal
from the 3o-yard line by Hudson.
Yslo's team can DO rated now rs stronger than
last years eleven. although that is not saying n
great deal. But tho material in hand is of the
finest quality. and it may be surprisingly devel.
oped by such experts as Buttcrworth and his as
sistant coaches between now and Nov. 20. Taken
as It stood upon the field yesterday, however.
the Yale clever is not in tho same class with
Princeton's team. The rush line. to be
sure, is made up of big, hoavy men,
who show considerable quickness in their
movements. but lack experience and real foot.
ball knowledge such as is necessary to make up
winning combination. The team as a whole
plays a fast. snappy game. which at this time of
the year Is an excellent trait. The backs are
better than those of n year ago, and especially
In punting a vast Improvement has been made.
Cutten, the new centre rush, funkcd on each
side by giant guards, Cadwalader and Brown, is
a most promising player. His principal fault is
slowness in breaking through the line and
in getting into plays. lie had a pretty hard
time handling Smith, the Indian centre. during
the first half, but in the second half his great
strength began to tell and tho red man seemed
to tire.
Cadwalader 10 what may be termed a football
freak. He is enormous in physique, yet is very
lively for his $50 pounds Of beef. He appears to
be q tride fat yet, but that will wear of. Op-
posed to him was Bemus Pierce, the captain Of
the Indians, and the latter player put up a
fierce game. Pierce is conceded to be one of the
best guards in the country, but he did not
"play horse" with the mighty Yale man,
although Cadwalader at times was pretty
severely handled. Pierce was undoubtedly the
superior in point Of actual strength. but Cad
walader showed more than the average knowl-
edge Of how to play his position. He also dis.
played an uncommon ability to kick place goals
with so little ~eXertion that the spectators mar
yelled.
wHEELoCK vS. BROWN.
Brown, the Yale right guard. although much
lighter than Cadwalader, is a trifie more active
than the latter. He had an experienced player
In " heelock to face, and made about an even
break Of it. On several occasions, however,
Wheelock opened up holes between Brown and
Allen that were big enough TO swallow up all of
cha Indian horl-o h,t Tho 1nttn ra- To- l.
most part slow in taking advantage of such
openings. Brown will improve, doubtless, with
careful coaching, and SO will Cad walader.
Yale's tackles. Rodgers and Allen. showed UP
better than anybody expected. Rodgers possess
cd all of his old.time dash, and allowed himself
to DO worked necessarily in line bucking in the
second half. As the season grows older, the
Yale captain will prove, beyond a doubt, that
he Is the best ground gamer in the
line. He faced Seneca, who is a furi-
Gus player. yet the latter was well handled
at ali stages. Allen, for n new man, played a
fine game. He was not in the best possible
shape, but he managed to hold his own with II.
Pierce until the latter was assisted from tho
helc suffering from a lame leg. Allen got into
the interference beautifully, and also did some
clean. low tackling.
Yale's ends, though rather light, were unusu-
ally fast. Slocovitch, who covered left end, was
a whirlwind in getting down the field on kicks.
but he showed n tendency to play off side. one
of his offences resulting fatally to the Indians
because it was unseen by the referee. He
tackled splendidly, but was just q trife slow in
breaking up interference. Hazen. on the other
end. while not 30 effective as Slocovitch, was a
power, in that he tackled ticrccly and was all
over the field.
Rogers played n magnificent gamSAon the
Indians left end. He made one OF the plays of
the day when he broke through, blocked a punt
by Mcbride. and then fell on the ball after an
exciting chase up to Yale's tenryard line.
Archiquette, a novice, did well at right end
during the first half, and then gave way to the
more experienced Mcfarland.
Yale's backs afforded a neat surprise to the
old-tim rs who were there to %criticise. Mcbride,
at full back. is easily the best punter since the
days of B~utterworth. He is tall and heavily
built, yet Is quick and can hit the line effec-
lively. On several occasions his nerve was
well tested, when 10 punted out from
the centre Of a bunch OF Indians who
cam within a few feet Of reaching him before
he got the ball away. But he never faltered.
and his kicks were all high and well down the
field. Only one punt was blocked, and that was
when Rogers got in front of the ball in the
second half.
R~ENJAMIN's FINE RUSHING.
The half backs. Benjamin and Kiefcr, did

was a glutton. He made three OF The four
touchdowns, and nearly all Of his gains were

imam, delighted old Yale men with his lodging
and sharp runs. He showed excellent Judgment
in following his interference and seemed hard To
down. He is a bit light, but his ~fieetness OF foot
makes up for that. Dc S'ulles, at quarter,
