Yale started of with a double pass Knox to ROome, but the latter was forced out of bounds and Yale punt ed. Burch, Yale's best end rush, was down the field like flash, dove for the Wesleyan runner, missed and fell, breaking his shoulder. He stayed in the lineup for one more scrim- mage, during which Wesleyan gained four yards on double pass, and then was taken to the side line, where he was given cheer, the last probably for him this season. Burch', loss will be heavily felt. The sen sational forward pass from Moore to Van Tassel followed.
 Wesleyan tried the line when the ball was at the center of the field, but was forced to punt. Yale failed to gain with quarterback run and punfed back in turn. Munson of Wesleyan dove through Yale's cen- ter for seven yards, but Wesleyan was forced to punt. Gillis and Forbes of Yale blocked the punt. and 1t was Yale's ball on Wesleyan's fifteen- yard line.
