 F Yesterdays gamre at Yost field in which the Bennington Yost and Annex football e1evens battled to a score less tie, was an afternoon of wasted opportunities so far as the osts were concerned. They had numerous chances to win but were not there with the punch at critical moments. They gained more ground than the Annex and were threatening the An nex goal line more often than the vis- itors knocked at the Yost gates. They couldn't quite produce tEe supreme. effort, however.
 The one thing that impressed the observer was the lack of variety in the Yost attack They showed noth- ing but a few simple plays and did not open up the game until the latter part when several forward passes were completed for good gains Although the Annex did not exhibit any greater list of stun than the Yosts their plays were as a rule better executed than the locals. The Annex plays were run off from direct pass from cen. ter, a feature used by many college teams
 Now that the season is oyer it might be well to say something about of1- cia1s. The system of allowing the visitors to bring an official should be abolished for 1t allows partiality to creep in, as shown on several occa- sions yesterday. For instance, when the Yosts were blowing down the field in the first quarter and had a good chance for a touchdown, Umpire Gran- field, a New Haven man, inflicted a 15 yard penalty on the Yosts.
 On two other occasions when She Yosts looked dangerous, he did the same thing. This looks suspicious when practically the only penalties were inflicted on the Yosts. Outside  games. The Yale men who were brought here to ofticiate in one of the early games gave satisfaction and Joe Waters has done excellent work all season. Even visiting teams have en- dorsed him. Not much can be said appeared to be to help their own teams.
 Mi1liken gave a fine exhibition for the Yosts- The former Yale star went outside tackle frequently for big gains and was always good for a, strip of territory when he ran from kick form ation. D1lk SeeIey punted well for the Yosts, his kicks covering greater dis talnce than the lloists of Sullivan, the North Carolina star with the Annex Seeley also broke away for many long runs.
 The playing of Baker. at quarter back was excellent. Silva. and KiI- ! covered kicks so well that only once did an Annex man break clear for a. run. The whole Yost line was strong. Capt. Mccormack being in the thick Of the scrimmage. The Annex team was also strong on defense. McN.eiI, the Yale star, was a bear at stopping Yost plays. Bradford and Courtney did the best work in carrying the ball.
 After their march down che field in the first quarter the Yosts did not have another good chance until the third period when Flanagan recov- everd an Annex tumble on the en- eny's 2s yard line After gaining sew en yards on three downs, Milliken tried a drop kick which went wide
 In the last quarter the Yosts worked the ball to the Annex 20 yard line lay means of a forward pass to Silva But after the usual penalty had been in f1icted by the umpire the Yosts were forced to try a field goal, which See ley missed. After the Annex kicked, the locals started down the field and by means of a long forward pass to Baker got the leather to the 20 yaru line again Two plays failed and Mil lilxen with only 8. few seconds to play, tried 8 field goal which was too low If Mi1Iiken stood further back he could nave taken more time and might have
