There had been holding by the visitors,
however. and the ball was called back
and Washington and Jefferson penalized
Is yards This time Knowles got the
kick away safely. but the satisfaction of
not being scored on was all Yale had. for
the game ended in a tie-0 to 0. In this
respect it was a duplicate Of the Cniver-
sity of Maine contest. but this after
moons battle was different for Yale was
completely outplayed at times to-day, and
though the visitors never got close TO the
goal line they made steady gains around
the ends and through tackle.
Little Spiegel. the Washington and JEFF
ferson halfback, was the speediest man
on the field. Time and again he flashed
around Avery and Carter and was downed
only by the secondary defence. He car
ried the ball repeatedly on criss-cross
formations that seemed TO start too quick
ly for the Yale defence to size UP.
On plays through centre the Yale de-
fence was sturdier, Madden and Ketcham
blocking the plunges at this part of the
line. Washington and Jefferson's big
tackle. Patterson. played powerfully on
the offence and broke up the plays direct
ed at his side of the line
The game was played in a driving rain
that began Friday afternoon and put the
field in almost unplayable condition. The
players were plastered with mud after
the first lineup, and the ball was so wet
neither team could handle 1t surely. IL
was hard for the runners to keep their
feet in the miry going. so that most Oh
the drives were made through tackle ana
at centre.
Cornish's work stood out for Yale. the
speedy quarter was a deadly catch on
punts, and he nearly always managed to
dodge back ten or fifteen yards. In the
second period he jumped In the air TOT
one of Goodwin's punts, when he was not
playing far enough back for the KICK
and then, lodging the Washington and
Jefferson tacklers, shot back twenty-five
yards.
Both teams punted steadily in the first
half in an effort to force fumoling' ana
in this exchange Knowles gained big
advantage over Goodwin because OF this
running back of kicks. After the ball had
been carried TO the 20-yard line, though.
this steady advance counted for nothing
for there the Washington and JEFFERSON
line held solidly. and Cornish had to try
a kick from placement that was blocked,
and gave the visitors the ball.
Again in the last quarter the Eli at
tack developed a steady driving force
that was carrying the ball toward the
goal line. but tumble by Cornish at the
25-yard mark cost Yale the ball. Patter-
son. from Washington and Jefferson, tried
a goal from placement from the 4b-yard
line in the last period. but the attempt
was unsuccessful, the Yale forwards
breaking through and blocking the KICK.
Most Of the play was near midfield or
between the two 35-yard lines. Neither
teams attack was powerful enough 10

Yale lost the best chance TO score when
Knowles got down the field and fell on
the ball on Washington and Jefferson's
25-yard line, after his kick had bounded
out Of Goodwin's arms. Cornell was sent
through for four yards and Cornish made
one yard at centre. but then the WASH
