Yale was about to make another touchdown. It
was the most sensational football game Yale has
played this year. and against team that is per-

for half the length of the field but each time Yae
grit kept the visitors from scoring. Once Brow"

the ball in midair.
On the other hand Yale went through the visitors
for substantial gains, and could not be stopped
