YALE 10; CHICAGO A a. o.
New Haven, Ct.. November g5.-Y Yale
this afternoon defeated the y Chicago
Athletic association eleven at football by
the score of 10 to 0. The game was
characterized by plenty of punting on
both sides and considerable fumbling by
Yale at critical points. Another feature
that will have to be remedied immedi-
ately by the Yale rushers is that the ends
would over-run their man almost every
time To this defect, however, there were
variations, notably onoe or twice, when
Eddy got after the full back on punt
and threw him cleverly. Coy, the other
Yale end, was suffering with bad eck
and found it hard to duck in catching at
rumor. He was taken out and Sloco-
vich substituted.
The game started with the ball in
YaIes hands. The team went down the
field straight for the Chicago goal with
terrific on-rushes un il almost over the
line, when the ball went to Chicago on a
tumble. From then on, the fray was a
desperate one back and forth over the
gridiron with punts, fun bles and of side
plays interspersed until near the close of
the first half when the ball was on Chica-
go's ive-yard line. Sullivan dropped
back for try at dropping . goal. stand.
ing on the 15.yard line, directly in front
of the goal. The spectators held their
breath IN expectancy and the little quar-
terback won their applause By putting
the pigskin over the goal bar. a
Just abont this time, a bulletin re-
ceived at the field announced that the
Harvard Pennsylvania game had ended
with victory in favor OF Harvard. The
Yale men on the bleachers, 2001 of them
set up 1usty shout that ended with the
Harvard cheer. 1t was n neat compli-
ment to the Crimson and evidenced the
good feeling that exists between the two
universities.
In the second half Yale substituted
Grant for Allen at tackle, arvey for
for Coy and Stillman for Grant, HarEey
and Stillman seemed to put dash and
ginger into the tagging Yale rushers, who
were worry much lighter than the heavy
Chicago team. Harvey, who weighs
scarcely 140 pounds, made some fine
piunges through the line through gaps
opened by Cutten and Brown, and Still
mans breaking through and spelling
line plays was q feature.

jured, and taken out. Yale owes much
praise He is coming half-back and If
his wrenched ankle does not prove bother
some, he may be back of the line against
Princeton. He is q sure tackler, a fleet
runner and an excellent ground gamer.
The last 10 or 10 minutes Of play was
much better on the Yale side and corre-
spondingly weaker on the Chicago side.
Yale rushed them down the field as early
in the game, and Harvey was sent over
for the only touchdown of the game The
that team met Chicago this afternoon is
not the best team that Yale will put into
the field il is conf IDENTIFY believed. The
next week will see radical change in
the lineup and probably no substitutes
will be put in but the same rush line,
