Fine Field Goal.

contested game here to-day by a score OF
10 to 3, the visitors scoring on a re-
markedly good place kick from the &C.
yard line at hard angle by Patterson,
their giant guard.
The game was important for Yale as
an indication of what the Individual play
ers could do and as evidence as to how
the future policy OF the coaches must be
shaped. On the whole. the game was
Giscouraging from the Yale point Of view.
The Yale attack seems to be a one-man
AFFAIR, so far as scoring goes, and that
man Is Flynn. While he was in the
game Yale scored one touchdown and
was twice in position 10 score again, but
was held for downs both times within
the Washington and Jefferson l0-yard
line. The other touchdown was largely
the result Of good luck.
Washington and Jefferson had been ex-
tremely successful with the forward
pass, and after working It for several
long gains the Yale forwards broke
through in the second period and swarmed
around Goodwin. The latter's pass was
blocked, Galauer grabbed the ball and,
with clear field ahead OF him, ran TWEEN
ty-seven yards TO the Washington ls-yard
line before Goodwin caught him from be-
hind. Yale scored after a fine plunge by
Pumpelly. In the second half Yale not
only failed to score, but was not even in
position TO score. Pumpelly once tried a
drop kick from the 3l-yard line, and
failed. II was a poor pass and a hurried
attempt, but was beautiful kick, that
barely missed a score
Yale's plays, as expected, depended al
most wholly on power and speed. The
forward pass was tried only twice by
Yale, once a long pass OF thirty yards,
Camp to Avery, on which the latter bare
ly got the tips OF his fingers. and failed.
Again Yale tried the pass on shift play,
In which the whole interference ran
toward the side lines before the pass was
attempted.
The visitors forced the game through
out in the second half and gave Yale all
II could handle. Toward the close Of the
game Patterson tried two more place
kicks, but failed. At least one OF them
should have been good. as Young made
fair catch OF a short high punt by
Camp on the Yale 0-yard line, but Pat.
terson missed fairly easy attempt. The
other one was long attempt from scrIm-
mage at midfeld by the same player.
Without Flynn, Yale was lacking in Of
fensive strength in the second half. The
Blue had a few new plays on the at
tack, one OF which was successful. 1t
was a shift in which the two ends lined
UP behind the guards and jumped 10
either side OF the line just before the ball
was passed. With this formation Yale
pulled on many successful line plunges or
end runs
Defensiyely Yale showed strength when

which Camp intercepted and ran from
Yale's 5-yard 10 her 33-yard line.
Hale's new men showed up very well.
Wheeler played the entire game at quar-
terback, and he clearly outplayed any
body else Yale has used there this year.

has yet shown this year. He handled
punts cleverly and made some good re-
turns when he seemed boxed and
sure TO be tackled. He mixed his plays
judiciously. and although Yale was
held twice for downs within the 1o-yard
line 1t was because the team lacked the
punch 10 score, not through mlshandling.
with the ball on Washington and Jer-
ferson's 24-yard line, Flynn made five
yards at tackle on a line shift. Pumpelly
made seven more for first down on the
l2-yard line. In four plunging plays the
Yale backs were again piled UP from a
total gain OF four yards losing the ball
on downs as the period ended. Goodwin
punted after the second period opened,
and seventeen yard gain by Flynn and
a penalty made II first down on the
l3-yard line. Pumpelly hit the left size
of the line for nine yards. and Flynn
made Il first down on the 1-yard line and
took IL over on the next play. HARRISON
kicked the goal.
Both teams exchanged kicks several
times, Goodwin working in one forward
pass 10 Alexander for a 20-yard gain
until Flynn on a fake kick ran from the
Yale 30-yard line twenty-six yards. Camp
then went In for Flynn, the latter receiv-
ing q great ovation as he left the game.
A Yale penalty forced Camp to punt to
Goodwin, who ran back twenty-five yards
to midheld. Goodwin's forward pass was
then blocked, Gallauer catching the ball,
and with a clear field was caught by
Goodwin after a twenty-seven yard run
to the lS-yard line. Pumpelly in one
plunge made II first down on the S-yard
line, Camp added four yards, and Cap
tain Spalding in two plays at tight tackle
scored Pumpelly missed the goal.
At the opening Of the second half Yale
held for three downs, and then Camp IN
tercepted Goodwin's pass and ran TO the
Yale S3-yard line. Camp punted. and an
other forward pass, Goodwin to Alex
ander, worked for twenty yards. An
around-end play netted five yards. and
then Patterson kicked his fine placement
goal from the 36-yard line.
