Yale Defeated by
w. and j. Eleven

seemed TO battle the visitors at first,
but in the second period their linemen
were through every time to nail lie
Gore or Knowles. Another Yale play
in which the halfback tented to 90
through tackle, but slipped the ball
TO the Yale end for an end run, was
quickly solved and stopped.
Yale was very slow in blocking the
visitors passes. the backs seeming TO
be thrown off their guard by the sud
den shifts in the visitors lineup. Both
teams tackled savagely, w. and j..
seeming TO be surer in mailing the run
ner. Young, their big fullback, was the
hardest man to stop, frequently making
several yards after being tackled. lie
Gore played a dashing game, but he
was carefully watched, and the visitors
were alert to check his lodging runs.
Little Chance for Knowles.
Knowles hit the line hard, starting
fast and handling the ball Clearly, but
after the opening quarter the Pennsyl-
vanians sifted through the line so fast
and aggressively that the Yale attack
was checked in its inception. The VS.
itors' line play was so strong that the
Yale offence seemed slow and lacking
in its usual power.
In the last quarter. with corps OF
substitutes in the combat, the Ellis at
tack showed q recrudescence, but w.
and j. twice rallied within the 3O-yard
line and Yale could not gain an inch.
Both teams fumbled often and there
was an unusual number of penalties,
W. and j. being the worst sufferers.
Yale was the more alert at recovering
fumbles, their getting the ball on w.
and 7. misplay early in the game paw

Hgginbotham and Tug Wilson were
taken out early in the battle and
Schram and Brann substituted for
them in an effort TO stop Spiegel and
Goodwin on end runs. Schram was the
fastest Of the quartet tried. Several
times he slipped around end and nailed
the w. and j. runner from behind.
None was a match for Spiegel in sheer

again he drew away in flashing bursts
of speed. With Talbot out Of the game
the left side Of the Yale line was no
ticeably weaker, but except for him

though Alec Wilson was not in the best
of shape.
Ball Changes Hands.
The ball changed hands rapidly in
the first few minutes of play, Wilson
running the kickoff back ten yards,
after which there were three fumbles,
two by w. and j. Yale got the ball on
the 40-yard line. lie Gore made ten
yards. Alec Wilson ten, and Knowles
five Oh successive plays. Wilson tore
through right tackle for eight more,
and then the visitors were taken by
surprise on a beautiful double pass to
lie Gore, who scored and then kicked
the goal.
On the next kickoff the steady at
tack by Wilson, Knowles and lie Gore
continued, but after Yale had been pen

and blocked lie Cores punt and w. and
j. took the aggressive.
Almost before the Yale stands could
realize what was happening w. and j.
had smashed down the field to the 20
ward mark, from which the visitors
