1t was the dogged and determined Tai
bolt who saved Yale from what almost
seemed a rout.
Yale's line was better on offence than
defence. The poor work on defence was
due TO the fact that the entire seven men
upon il did not have a charge. barring
Left Tackle Talbot
When Colgate's backheld came thunder
ing 10 the attack their forwards would
LIT the entire Yale line back. but. by r'a-
son of the extreme bulk Of this Yale line.
il was impossible for even these asBTes-
sive linemen TO push them very far along
the ground. so that back rarely broke
through for long gain. Captain hetchah'
fought exceptionally well on the deiehre
in the first period and vas continually
breaking through and spelling plays De
fore they reached the line.
Even Ketcham was worn down toward
the end OF the game and had TO resort 10
the fall 10 the ground tactics OF his other
llnemen. All this leads me TO believe tha'
these big Yale men have been over
worked. that I'm the frenzied endeaNor o'
the Yale coaches TO bring the New Haven
institution back to its former poSiuoh !"
football they have failed in considering
tho nhysicaI limitations Of their men.
Careful Handling imperative.
I, Is n tired. exhausted and worn team
that rests I'm New Haven tonight ana u
ia a team that needs decided and carelu'
handling from now on until the END OF inc
season II II is TO cope on equal terms WIN
Princeton and Harvard.
To my mind Yale has exceptional mate
rial. That horrible nightmare that con-
fronted the Iii coaches year ago VI nav
ing a set Of first string backs VINO Cou'u

ness and slowness has not been inc case

While ON the subject of line at ne"
