The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1902-10-13

The showing made by Brown against
Yale on Saturday. when the Providence
men held Yale down TO 10 points in 81
minutes play. was quite as surprising
to the Yale admirers as IL was gratifying
to the supporters OF the brown and
white. The game was an admirable con-
test I'm every way and the result quite
justifies the contention that Brown has
this year a rattling good team.
When II is considered that Yale has
thus far shown up as decidedly in the
best form OF any OF the American colleges
and the team Is considered to be one Of
the best that has represented the blue
In several years. the work OF the Brown
team is the more praiseworthy. The
Brown team did not outplay the blue. and
II would not be reasonable TO maintain
that this was done, but so far as play
goes the brown and white quite In
class by itself. so far comparison
with other teams the Yale eleven has met
this year
THE TEAMS COMPARED.
II must be considered first OF all that
Yale was not at her best. Holt is not In
the condition he should be and the backs
OF the Yale team were not up TO the
mark Wilhelmi had been out for a few
days and lacked form. and Ward. who
replaced him. is troubled with bad
ankle. But Shevlin, who went In at
tackle in the last half. was In admirable
form and played splendidly.
For Brown, Tim Sheehan was not In
his old-time form, and Captain Barry
was handicapped by weak arm, so that
on form IL is fair 10 assume the two
teams were equal. The aggressive work
Of Brown was more than ordinarily good.
and the defence was splendid. II must
ha touchdown
was actually earned and that the drop
kick for goal made by Metcalf from the
37-yard line, was In one sense an acci-
dent and would not have been attempt
ed had 1t not been that Yale was II
position where IL was necessary TO re-
sort TO extreme measures
The game was practically straight foot
ball. Yale resorted to massed plays and
end runs. and there was but little de-
veloped in the way OF trick plays. Thea
work OF the Yale ends was not by any
means what II should have been, and all
OF Browns best gains were made around
the ends.
YALE ENDS NOT FAST.
The Yale ends were slow to start and
time and time again the Brown backs
got around the ends for fair gains. To
the contrary the Brown ends fairly out
played the blue Schwinn. Hascall and
Russ nailed runners and Barry did some
pretty work in the back field In support
OF the ends.
The Brown line was fairly strong. The
line held well at times and while forma-
ti"ns worked through the line TO some
eS tent the forwards did splendid work.
Golfer held his own with Holt. the Yale
centre. and the right OF the line was
strong and firm. The principal gains
throug,s the line were made through
Browns left. but this was principally on
macs Plays. on which Chadwick and VIII
hel 1 ~sre dragged through. The Yale
bacos r7aGe comparatively small gains
VIII the game started IL was Yale's
ball and on tie kick of Barry got the
bah IN the 20-yard line and ran back Is
yards. p1s'de play by Hare brought the
ham to The c'r.re OF the field, and IL was
again kicked on This time Sheehan got
the ball on the 30-yard line. and the first
crack out OF the box Chase got 23-yard
run around the end. Then followed play
after play which Yale could not stop. and
when Brown lost the hall II was on Yale's
2S-yard line. This was grand aggressive
work.
YALE HELD BY. BRowN.
ON the first play Chadwick got a 35-
yard gain and the ball was worked down
10 the Brown 25-yard line and there lost
IL on tumble by Wilhelmi. After one
try at the lire for no gain Barry punted
10 Metcaf and then by aggressive work
Yale worked the ball 10 the Brown 23-
yard line. Hard play carried IL to
Browns l0-yard line and then Brown
made a beautiful brace The Yale backs
were sent crashing into Browns line
without n gain and with but little time
for play Brown held for downs on her
three-yard line. Brown held like a stone
wall and threw Yale back for loss. II
was magnificent work and the half ended
with Brown In possession of the bah. ,
and the goal line safe.
In the interval between the halves the
Yale coaches read the Yale players a lee
ture and there were some old Yale
men present who have become famous In
the game. Harry. Cross. Henelhnger.
Laurie Bliss. Corbin. and others. Soon
after the half was begun Ward was
substituted for Welhelm and later Pres
colt took Wards place. Hamlin was dis
qualified for holding and Shevlin took mis-
place In the line.
