AGAINST FRESHMEN

NEW HAVEN, Conn, oct. 22.-
Plunging through the fiercest scrim-
mage work, the Yale varsity smother
ed the strong freshman eleven We'd
nesday with three touchdowns and
allowed the 1918 players only a
single first down. The favorite fresh
man play was an onslaught by Yates,
the 230-pOund freshman tackle who
was called back for the freshman
artillery attack.
The varsity registered their first
score with double passes, LegOre to
Knowles and Scovil TO Ainsworth,
each netting 40 yards. Legores field
goal closed the advance. Only four
plays were needed for the varsity TO
score their second touchdown, Aims
worth lodging half the freshman
team for a G5-yard run which ended
at the 1913 hoal
Line smashes were used by the
varsity covering a 90-yard gain for
the final touchdown which Scovil
made. ScOvil replaced Aleck Wilson
at quarter back and will probably
hold the place on Saturday.
