 Yale defeated Amherst at Yale field yesterday afternoon before small crowd. The score was S4 to 0. The Amherst team is very light and very weak this year. They played a very poor game and did not give Yale as much practice as the college team would have done. On defensive play the ends played just outside the tackles and it was a very easy matter to box them in for long end runs. One of the Yale backs said: Ut is the easiest game l ever hope to see. It is disgrace not to secure touchdown on every run" Amherst was able to gain the necessary five yards but once while they held the ball, and not once did they hold Yale for downs. They kicked but once, and SiAAy y ter back Anderson, played the best game, making almost every tackle and being on the bottom of every pile. He was hurt in the shoulder and back early in the game, but pluckily played on until near the end of the game, when he was taken out. He was heart fly applauded by the crowds Yale kicked off and then held Amherst for downs. The halves, Corwin and Mar win, fumbled on the first two plays, but still made their distance. By quick playing Marvin secured a touchdown in short order. Brown kicked an easy goal Amherst kicked off again and Coy behind good interference and by quick lodging ran the ball back to Amherst's forty yard line. Two more touchdowns were obtained during the | first half, mainly through the long | runs around the end. Brown kicked l two of the three goals. CorWin was evidently in poor condition for the long runs exhausted him and he was re- placed by Benjamin.
