found New York University a tough Gus
tanner to-day. and for q part Of the game
was actually outplayed by the visitors
The score at the end OF the first half stood
vale s New York University :. and Yale
was having just as suff a battle as she
could wish The New York line was out
playing the Yale men. getting the jump
on the Blue forwards and opening holes,
through which the Manhattan backs clev-
erlv twisted. The final score was 2s to ,.
Yale's score in the first half came as the
result OF a blocked kick. Paul. playing at
left tackle for Yale. showed big improve
ment in offensive play, and frequently
broke through TO block kicks He had
blocked one punt In midhed. Nixon recov-
ering the ball for 1O-yard loss. New York
again attempted to punt and again Paul
smothered the kicker. The ball bounded
back. and Avery picked 1t up and was Oft
in a fash New York had no chance to
stop him. and he made the touchdown after
run of twenty-five yards. Francis kicked
the goal.
New York came back strong in the sec
ond period. Yale found all OF her line plays
useless against the defence New York ex-
hibited. and the left side of the New York
line was constantly breaking through and
spelling end runs as we'll as line plays.
The New York attack was not very DOW
erful, either, though her backs did occa-
sionally find the Yale right wing weak, and
made good gains.
The Yale ends were off color. Francis
and Avery started the game. but their de-
fensive work was below standard. The sec
ond pair Of Yale ends. Sheldon and Dunn.
were much more effective. Sheldon was
particularly fast and aggressive, and his
defensive work was the best Of any Of
the Yale ends to-day Bomeisler. Yales
best end, entered the game in the last few
minutes Of play. and showed that he was
stNl in form.
The visitors had by far the best forward
Jass formations seen al Yale Field this
year. and they managed 10 work a least
d dozen Of these successfully. Using this
play as their main reliance, and a double
pass on an end run or clever outside tackle
plays for the sake Of variety, the New
Workers advanced down into Yale territory
steadily during the second period.
Finally Yale broke up the play at the
a-yard line. Camp dropped back to punt
and received a speedy pass a trife high.
he handled il very poorly dropped the ball,
instead Of falling on it. and attempted to
pick it up. At least three New Workers
snothered Camp and the ball. and It was
New York's ball on the Yale l2-yard line.
Moore instantly dropped back for a try at
goal and planted the ball squsrely between
the posts
The rest Of the period was hard fought
and Yale found her hands fun. Yale lost
good chance to score by fumbling and
lerge number Of penalties seriously inter
fered with their work. Captain Howe was
playing the whole game for Yale on the
attack. and his running in a broken ield
and sure tackling largely accounted for
Yale not being completely outplayed by
the lighter team. The Yale defence. par
ticularly in the first period, was chiefly
founded on the good work of Loree at
guard. He has been under the watchful
eve Of Foster Sanford during the last week,
and his defensive work was excellent.
Loree moved over 10 centre when Ketcham
was taken out. His passing was triie
Inaccurate, partly owing TO poor handling
Of the ball by Camp. Ketcham returned TO
the game in the second half and Loree
went back 10 guard
The second half also opened with punt
ing duel. Camp was erratic in his work
to-day and Howe kicked with much better
results He ran to one side and kicked
long, low, well placed ball, and several Of
his punts were recovered by the Yale ends.
The serious play started when Howe
made another especially brilliant run back
of a punt for thirty yards. He then tried
10 drop kick from the 45-yard line 1t had
the distance and height, put missed by d
foot.
Moore punted from the 25-yard line.
spalding got around left end on the next
play and his speed carried him TO the o.
ward line before he was downed after
l0-yard run TWO plays against the stiff
New York line netted only three yards,
hut on the third play Freeman plunged
across and McDevitt kicked the goal
Another punting duel followed. Then
sralding worked in a clever 2O-yard run.
Yale finally obtained the ball in midheld'
and on one OF Howes zigzag punts
Ketcham GRABBED the ball and dashed over
the line for a touchdown. Paul kicked
the goal.
The next kickoff went TO Freeman, who
caught the ball behind the Yale goal and
pulled off the prettiest play Of the day.
Gaining IN speed at every stride he finally
shook off every New York player, but in
dodsing little Nixon his speed was checked
ana he was tackled just as ne squared
away for the final dash for score. IN
all he covered eighty-five yards.
Spalding fumbled on the next play, New
York recovering. Brennan punted TO Howe.
who alternated speed and lodging with
dead stoDs and came back thirty yards TO
the 1o-vard line. New York held for downs
by a fine exhibition of defensive playing.
yluDRing back, Brennan then went behind
his own goal to punt, but was smothered
ly d swarm of blue jerseys, as the pass
was high, and was forced TO make a safety.
4 hunting duel and few first downs on
short end runs, with one long one by camp
out Yale again on the New York N-yard
line TWO plays failed to gain materially
and Captain Howe droped heid goaI from
the l7-yard line. Soon afterward he re-
tired from the game
The Blues only successful forward pass
now netted fifteen yards. Camp TO Sheldon.
Another tackle play by Camp netted SIX
Yards and first down on the lO-yard line.
Camp again passed 10 Sheldon. but 1t Was
Intercepted Moore dropped back TO punt
but was again blocked, and Dunn hnaliy
fell on the ball behind the goal line Tor a
topcbdown. The kick-out failed and the
scoring ended.
