NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct. 22-Football
Of an extraordinary character was wit
messed by the bi-centenmal guests at
Yale field this afternoons when a team
composed of the most famous stars
among Yale's former players lined up
against the substitute varsity eleven.
Despite the fact that they were undis-
outplayed their younger rivals from start
to finish, and during the contest the
stars goal was never in danger, while
the old-timers succeeded in making two
touchdowns, both of which were con-
verted into goals. The score in the first
half stood: Stars, II; second eleven, 0.
The game was played Immediately after
the regularly scheduled game between
the Yale varsity and Bates, and all Of
the 1900 spectators remained to witness
the old football against the new.
At the first lineup for the kickoff
there was a bewildering array of stars

sort of dress parade for the kickoff.

Great Playing by Stars.
From the moment of the first scrin-
mage 1t became evident that the same
surprising skill still remained in the great
players who had often brought victory to
they were still in every play with fire
and dash which amazed the spectators.
PA" Corbin, at center, was the same
great center as of old. Heffelfinger, at
guard, tore his way through the players
and into the thick of it like a locomo-
tive. Gordon Brown was a counterpart.
Chamberlain and Murphy, at the tackles,
were just as sturdy as ever while at the
ends Josh Hartwell and Johnny Hall de-
lighted the crowds with the consummate
tactics of the end rusher. At quarter
Mccormick was the same masterful gen.
eral. McClung, on his first dash for the
end, resorted to that thrilling dodge
which made him marvel in the early
'90s. Brink Thorne was the same hurd-
ling, plunging, implacable halfback, and
al fullback Butterworth brought back
the days when the football world was as
founded at his prowess as a line-bucker
and long, low-kicking fullback.
The old players soon began to feel the
effects of poor condition, however, and
substitutes began to go in. Corbin gave
way to Cutten, and Cross, Chadwick,
Armstrong, Ely, Sharpe and Hale went
in one by one. In spite OF their, best
modern football the college team could
not score, however. and the final score
stood Il to 0 in favor of the stars.
