Yale Field New Haven. Nov. l1.-Yale
outpIay ed and overwhelmed Brown this
afternoon by a score of 15 to 0. 1t was
bulldog revenge for last years unpreCe-
drnted defeat. Brown to-day was not the
Brown Of last year. The game was solid
blue from start to finish. and resolved it
self into the usual practice game against
an inferior team. This statement should
Ur qualified. At times during the game
the Brown team displayed flashes of bril-
liant form. They were sensational but
into1 mittent. and toward the end Browns
PARTLY substituted eleven Outplayed Yale'S
second string men.
Tie feature of the game was the run
nng Of YaIc's backs. Howe, Freeman,
Reilly, Quinn, and Camp. The last named
played a brilliant game and Outshune his
fellow :. Time and time again he brought
the Yale thousands to their feet in an
enthusiastic ecstasy Of delight he tore
into tine line or around the ends, fighting
his way down the field, breaking away
from tackIers, and generally ripping
things tn pieces.
Walter Camp is a name not unknown
to football fame. Thirty years have not
SUficrd to alter the renOwn of the man
who played six seasons in Nale's back
field and Captained YaleS team for two
of them. Old players of that period re
member Camps long lodging runs and
his cool self-pOssessiOn. To-day in the
hottest Of the fight when he was ripping
OFF his gains Of 10. %, and 30 yards,
stIn'inE into taCkIers like a wild bull,
young Walter Camp, jr., wore a happy
smile. 1t is sometimes a solemn and
awful thing for a young man to wear a
name; it is a gentle and joyous pastlme
to live up to that name.
Yale Starts Right.
Yale started the game at a good swing
and kept 1t up. In the first few min
utes the Brown men were swept off
their feet and nine points on the score
board stared them ip the face. This
was accomplished by a consistent rush
ing game, very slightly varied by punts.
Yale. in this rushing game displayed
A slight variation of the Minnesota shift
play Indeed, in rushing throughout the
entire game Yale used nothing but this
shift, and unCorked from it no novel
ties whatever, practically not single
tick play. 1t is true that once or twice
in the game Yale ran a delayed pass
on the short side, but with this exception,
Yale's offense was consistently straight
running by the backs, behind shifted

Browns tackles seemed utterly unable
to cope with this avalanche Of Interior
