unprecedented defeat. Brown today was

end Browns partly substitute eleven out
played Iale's secondstring men.
The feature of the game was the run
ming Of Iales backs, Howe, Freeman,
Reilly. Quinn and Camp. The last named
played a brilliant game and outshone his
fellows. Time and time again he brought
the Yale thousands 10 their feet in an en-
thusiastic ecstasy of delight as he tore
into the line or around the ends lighting
his way down the field. breaking away
from tacklers and generally ripping things
to pieces.
Walter Camp is name not unknown

sufhced to alter the renown OF the man
who played six seasons In Yales back

The next few minutes were sensational.

dragged him to earth. An exchange of
kicks and two pena ties put Brown away

started to run to the right. Suddenly

Sprackling Features.
Browns team was marked by the work
of Spracl1ling at quarterback who under
the handicap OF weaker team to pro-
tect him, made nevertheless several
brilliant open field runs. Twice he shot
off successfully forward passes. one in
the third period to Adams at left end,
and one in the fourth TO Ashbaugh at
right end. These passes both fooled the
Yale defensive backs, and although the
Brown runner was not allowed to get a
clear field, he WAS allowed an unmoleSted
chance at the ball and q substantial
gain.
The play VAS worked by keeping the
end in close to his tackle until the last
when he dashed out at an angle
into a clear space near the side lines,
and received the ball before the Yale
back could get 70 him.
