WHAT YALE MEN SAY.
The work OF the Brown team was ad-
mirable as a whole. the Yale line being
heavier, and IL was said by Yale men
that Brown had a great little team. The
Yale men spoke highly OF the work 0i
the team. and were particularly compli.
mentary 10 the work of Russ and
Schwinn. The Brown men were enthu-
siastic over the game. The cheering and
singing by the students did a great deal
for the team and the playing OF the band
was n noteworthy feature. The attend
anee was large. aEd the spectators saw a
Down at New Haven the Yale men pro-
fess 10 be satisfied as a whole With the
work OF the team, aside from the ends,
but considering the opinion OF the Yale
players az worthy OF note IL will be seen
that Browns ends were something bet
ter than the ordinary and good enough 10
show up Yale men as being below stan
dard.
AS SEEN BY OTHERS
Brown demonstrated that Yale has not
got an invincible eleven this year. no
matter how strong the blue may be in
individual positions in the line There
are weak spots In Yales offence and de-
fence. and IL was great surprise all
around on Saturday TO see Brown putting
up sharp, snappy attack that carried
Yale along for a. yards of straight rush.
ing, without losing possession OF the
leather.
1t is worth remembering that while
Amherst made a similar impression ON
Harvard. the Amherst team was practi-
cally showed under by Yale. From this
deduction. IL would seem that Brown has
a much stronger team than she was gen.
orally credited with. The game at Provi-
dence Saturday must have been a revela-
tion TO the Yale coaches, when Brown
was able 10 make such consistent gains
outside Of tackle on either side of the
Yale line.
Hare and Coffin. the Yale ends. were re-
peatedly drawn in and. on quick starts,
the Brown backs made their distance
time and again. In Holt the Yale team
has a veteran player fianked by two first
class guards In Goss and Glass. The lat
ter was through on every play. helping
out the runner by dragging the man with
the ball along after he had been tackled.
This helping hand spirit was character
istic OF the entire Yale team.
Hamlin put up a good game at left
tackle for Yale on the defensive. and was
successful In advancing the ball. but in
this respect he does not begin to COM
pare with his substitute. Shevln. who is
the find OF the year at Yale. and who
Will be sure TO make the team.
II is claimed that Shevlin is not so
strong on the defensive as Hamlln. but
on the offensive. where the tackle Is
called upon 10 take the ball. he is the
best ground gamer that Yale has pro-
duced I'm many years. He goes like
streak and he is hard man to tackle.
He keeps his feet wonderfully WELL He
Is a player who will bear watching He
is sure 10 make his mark before the sea-
son Is over.
Goss and Hogan opened UP some good
holes for Yale on their side OF the line,
but Hogan aid not show any extraor-
dnary ability in advancing the ball.
On the whole. Metcah ran his team
well. but he is not in the same class with
Marshall as quarter back. He distin-
guished himself by dropping n goal from
the fleld.> after Yale had been held for
downs. but the kick was not line drive
for the uprights. Instead he made
rather high kick with good direction and
the ball just toppled over the bar.
In the back field. Captain Chadwick
ves. the best ground gamer for Yale and
he worked harder all the time than any
man on his side
The Yale back field appeared light IN
with such men as Herman
Graydon or Stlllman OF Harvard While
Yale has speed behind the line, she has
not got the weight for successful line
bucking against strong line OF for
wards. The Brown backs did not have
any great difficulty in closing up the
holes opened by Yale's line. wilhelm
was not successful ground gamer and
Farmer at full back appeared light for
the position.
The result Of Princeton's game at An
napolis is not an argument in favor OF
the tales Of great things at old Nassau
The Tigers expected N run up 20 or 30
points. but made hard work OF scoring
at all In the first half against a lighter
team on a wet field.
Pennsylvania continued weakness on
defence makes Browns chances against
her on Saturday seem good. Against
Yale, Browns attack was united and
fierce the back field team play being
finely developed and the line in front OF

Brown always made things decidedly in
