Yale defeated Wesleyan at the Yale
field. yesterday afternoon by the score
Of "a to 0 in two fifteen minute halves
and although the score was fairly large
the work of the New Haven men was
not up, to the standard The work in
the line is still ragged and the men
don't seem to play together like Yale
teams have in past years. Wesleyan
was weak in few spots yesterday
n and Yale took advantage of these faults
and made most of her gains through
y them The ends as usual in the team
Y from Middletown did fully as good
work as the Yale ends and Yale found
trouble in getting around them. A
few times Chadwick ran half way
across the field in an attempt to circle
the end and as he happened to be a
fastGr runner than the man on the end
4 bf the line he made good .gains. This
might be a good showing against Wes-
aeyan, but when Yale lines up against
columbia, Princeton and Harvard that
game will not be so successful. The
interference on the end plays is not
near up to the standard and time and
again 1t was broken up. AS soon as
u the men strike the opponents line the
interference goes to pieces and the run
ner is grabbed by big Glass, Olcott or
Goss and pulled along for a few yards
II This trick worked well yesterday and
II one time Wilhelmi was pulled over the
zine for touchdown and his arm was
NEARLY wrenched off Hart was picked
N up three or four times ON end plays and
Ia #Garried for his distance, as his inter-
A@RI Ference was split up almost the second
ne received the ball. Wesleyan had the
pail but once in he first half and failed
\ TO gain the necessary five yards, but in
4! the second half things changed. They
gained first down on Yale three times
and held Yale for downs once The
k>team from Middletown suffered the
u greatest kind of loss when their cap
tain and best player, Inglis, was COM
Y PEELED to leave the field in the middle
l of the first half owing to a wrenched
knee. This player is recognized as one
N OF the best line hitters in the country
1and as a punter and general all-round
man he has few superiors. In the sec
ond half If he had been in his place in
the back field the score might have
been different as the Wesleyan 'backs
plunged through the Yale line for good
gains many times, and with Ingis bat
tering away at the line the chances
are that Wesleyan would have come
pretty near to, if not scoring. Olcott
took Glass place in the second half and
johnson took OIcott's. The Wesleyan
backs found Johnson essay for time
NAnd made twelve yards through him
before they gave up the ball Swan
was at the right end of Yale's line at
the start, but in the middle of the sec
lDnd half Rafferty, took his place. The
4 fight for this place will be very keen
a before the season ends, with the
v4rrners slightly in favor Of Rafferty,
u. The same team with the exception of
T Swan took the field yesterday in the
first half that has played together
\ since the season opened and it looks
as though they were the pick of the
asquad.
Wesleyan kicked off and deSaulles
| caught the ball. running it back ten
yards before he was downed. Hogan
hit the line in the tackle back formation
'g for fifteen yards and Hart went be-
tween left tackle and end for ten more
rChadwick gained five more and here
the visitors held we'll They held for
three downs but on the fourth Yale
gained her distance. By a series of
steady plunges into the line Yale forced
The ball to the five yard line and Hogan
was showed over for the first touch
down in four minutes of play. Olcott
kicked an easy goal. Score Yale G.
Wesleyan 0. DeSaulles caught the kick
off and by beautiful run brought the |
ball back twenty yards. Ingls was |
hurt and three minutes passed before |
she was able to take his place with the |
team. He limped badly and later when |
The stopped deSaulles he was almost
Knocked out. The next time he downed |
u man on Wesleyan's fifteen yard line, |
he was taken from the field and weeped |
as he took his seat on the side lines. |
The ball was rushed to the three yard |
line and held there for three downs
The tackle back formation was again
worked Wilhelm taking the ball. He
banged into the line and was pulled by
iss and Goss over the line for a
ehdown. Olcott again kicked the
goal Yale was penalized in this half
for off side play three times and Wes-
ieyan once The third touchdown was
made by Gloss and the first half ended
with the score Is to in favor of the
Blue. The second half gave Yale one
touchdown and that was made by Ho-
an, and the goal was kicked by Olcott.
