BROWN EASILY DEFEATED
SPLENDID GAME OF FOOTBALL
 YESTERDAY 4 FTERNOON.

The faIe Eleven Was Superior in Every Particular to That of Brown-Superb Team Work by the Victorious Grid iron GIadiators-EongR Runs Frequent Kicking Game Resortcd To.
 In a splendid exhibition of football at Yale field yesterday afternoon the Yale university team defeated the Brown university eleven by the score of 22 to S. Brown was clearly outplayed at every point and would not have scored but for an unfortunate tumble by Yale's right half-back, Benjamin. With the ball on Browns ten-yard line and two more minutes of play, Benjamin fum- bled the ball and it was quickly picked up by Washburn of Brown and he made Q splendid run of 100 yards for touch down. The Yale men were so much in- volved in the play which they had at tempted, that of running Benjamin through the line, that none of them was able to catch and down Washburn be- fore the touchdown was made. This is the first time that the Yale team has been scored on by an opponent during the present season, and this score was due more to good luck than good play ing.
 Despite the stormy weather about one thousand people saw the game and they were we'll repaid for doing so. Yale's magnificent team work was source Of admiration for every one, even for some of the most enthusiastic Brown sup porters. Such work as characterized the Yale team yesterday afternoon is bound to make it one of the strongest elevens eyer turned out by the institu- ton. The men seemed to fully realize the fact that their opponents were wor- thy foemen and that each one must play his best game in order to win. At any rate, they worked like Trojans and gained a decided victory in conse- equenc. Each man deserves special mention. Cutten had an opportunity of showing just what kind of a game he could play and he did so His work was remarked about by almost every one. He took care of his man and broke through the line repeatedly, breaking up plays and causing losses for Brown. He will easily fill Cadwala- der's shoes Of the line men Brown was removed from the game about the middle of the first half, as the umpire claimed for slugging This seemed to the crowd to be unfair, but the umpire was persistent and Stillman was sub stituted. He played creditable game. Captain Chamberlain played at tackle 1, 11f when he retired in favor of Richards. Townshend started in at half, but his knee was injured and Dudley was sub stituted. In the second half Marvin re- placed Dudley and Thomas took Coy S place at right end.
 Yale's offensive game has greatly inn proved and the Brown line was ham, mered time and time again for gains of from five to twenty yards, besides run ming around the ends at will. de Saulles played star game and shortly after the beginning of the first half, when Brown was on the fifteen-yard line and a touchdown seemed probable, de Saulles got the ball and made su- perb run of seventy five yards through almost the whole Brown team. The ball was down on the ten-yard line and in just two more plays touchdown was scored by Benjamin. Mcbride and Benjamin also made several splendid runs.
 Because of the wet condition of tne gridiron a kicking game was resorted to in the second half with the odds about even. Richardson, the plucky half back for Brown, made several fine runs after catching the ball from kicks and succeeded in gaining some ground At one time things looked as if he would score, but de Saulles downed him on the ten-yard line. Yale took a great brace at this point and after securing posses sion of the ball rushed it up the field to almost a touchdown, when the tumble by Benjamin occurred.
 Every one came away from the game feeling that wonderful improvement had been made in the Yale team in the past three days and that there was nc reason to fear for the results of the lows:
