YALE DEFEATS NOTRE DAME

New Haven, Conn, October 17.-Yale pected ease today, 2S to 0. although the visiting eleven was slightly heavier, well balanced and fast. Its forward passing was brilliant and effective, but this play was discarded at critical moments in favor of old-fashioned line plunging, which the Blue forwards smothered. Errors in judgment in electing to rush the ball on the last down instead of bunting, proved fatal, for Yale held and took quick advantage.
 Yale mixed plays well, working for ward, double and triple passes with fair success.

CRIMSON ADDS
 ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN

On the kickout 1t was not a fair catch, and the ball went back and fourth until the beginning of the fourth quarter. In the first two minutes of play another touchdown was added, the forward pa ss being used for the play. The fourth quar- ter opened with the ball Alabama's on Techs 35-yard line. It was carried through the line for downs and then a forward pass. Joplin to Love, netted 20 yards. and the ball was on Techs three- yard line. Attempts -- to buck it over failed. and on the third down Joplin elect ed to try another forward pass. It was successful, Long taking the throw. vande- Graaff kicked goal, making total of B points for the Crimson
 Alabama simply played the Georgians off their feet. Heismans crew seemed bewildered by the smashing, driving at tack of the Crimson backs and the superb defensive playing of the Alabama line. Tech threatened to score but once, in the third quarter. By end runs and a for ward pass that got away the only one in which Georgia was successful the ball was carried to Ala bama's 10-yard line The Crimson line held, and on the next trial the Yellowjackets fumbled and the ball was Alabama's. VandeGraaff booted 1t 40 yards down the field and the Tech beck was downed in his tracks Never again was the Yellow eleven in dangerous proximity to Alabamas s goal.
 The Tech eleven appeared helpless, and there was not consistent ground gainer on the team. The thin red line held like a stone wall, and time after time the Georgia backs were thrown for losses by VandeGraaff and Harsh and Long. In the first half ground was gained by sweeping end runs, but during the second period of play the Alabama ends broke up the interference and downed the run npr

CRIMSON SUPERIOR
 IN EVERY WAY

Alabama was superior in every depart ment of the game Harsh and Vande- Graaff hit the line with terrific force, and their interference was superb On the plays around the ends the Alabama packs worked the delayed pass success fully, but the greater part of the ground gained was through the line and by means Of forward passes
 Alabama has great little general in Joplin, and he is destined to be better known in the football world. His work yesterday has seldom been equaied by an Aiapama quarter Never for a moment dld he give the Tech line a rest. In the opening minutes of play he felt out the Tech line cautiously until he located the weak spots.. Then he sent his backs crashing into the tackles and guards and the crlmson machine swept up the field At the psychological moments he switched In the forward pass and but once failed to be successful.
 Alabama seemed to be able to use the forward pass at will and to break up Teon attempts at the same play with corresponding ease. With the ball on Aiabama's S0-yard line in the third qua r. ter VandeGraaff intercepted q forwa I'd pass ana took the ball 40 yards down the field before he was downed
 The game was marred by freouent Iumples by both sides, but those of Teen were more costly. The only chance Tech had to score was lost through d tumble and whenever the Yellow eleven began working well and going down the held tumble occurred and the hard won ground was lost. Alabama losv one opportunity to score by a tumble. few seconds after the first touch- down and while the Heisman machine was still bewildered the ball was rushed to the five-yard line. While attempting an end run the ball was fumbled and went over to be kicked out of danger.

 Graft Star
By JACK BETHEA

Alabama overwhelmed Georgia Tech yesterday afternoon on Rickwood Field and astonished football followers of the south by rolling up . score of 13 against the Yellowjackets while hold- ing her own goal line inyioIate.
 The victory was . surprise to even the most rabid follower of the Crimson as Tech went into the game to 1 favorite. It was considerea merely . question of how many touchdowns Tech would make and the larger part of the money wagered was on this basis.
 The story of the defeat of the Yellow jackets is quickly told. In the first five minutes of play, after Tech had twice fumbled, the ball was Alabamas s on Tech s 4yard line. Joplin called for forward pass and Morton took the perfect throw, making 25 yards of the play. An instant later the same play was repeated. Joplin to Morton, and this time the Alabama end stood behind the Yellowjacket's goal line.
 Although Alabama didn't know it, the game was won at that point In the three remaining quarters the Yellow eleven never got it's feet on the ground despite the frantic exhortations of Heisman and frequent changes In players

VANDEGRAAFF IS
 GREAT KICKER

VandeGraaff, who did the kicking for Alabama, was far superior to. his oppo- nent, Carpenter. He outpunted him 20 yards. despite the fact that the wind was in the Georgian's favor. There were few penalties Alabama losing five yards and Tech. 20. None figured in the scoring
 Heisman fought desperately to avert defeat. He shot his original eleven all to pieces and rushed substitutes on the field almost after each play in the first quarter. It was in vain, however, for they could do nothing with the Crini- son offense. Graves of Alabama made but one substitution.
 The features of the game were the work of Joplin at. quarter vande- Graaff's broken field running and punt ing and the ability of William Harsh to go through the Georgia line. Each man on the Alabama line should be mentioned for their great defensive and offensive work. Tech backs were hurled back from the Alabama line while on the offensive the Crimson linesmen tore gaps through which the backs plunged for substantial gains.
 The defeat of, Georgia Tech by Ala bama was not the only upset in the southern football world yesterday. The defeat of A. & M. of Mississippi by Ken

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June 2, 1914.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June 2, 1914.
Fair progress has been made the past
week in transplanting tobacco plants
in the Connecticut valley. Rain is
needed badly and the soil in many fields
is as dry as flour. A days rain would
not only assist in transplanting, but
would be of great value to that part of
the crop which has been set out. Sea-
sonable temperatures have prevailed
the past week. Transplanting thus far
has been featureless. Up to date the
only thing that can be said about the
new crop is that it is three weeks late
and that a considerable part of it will
receive such late start that it will be
subject to frost danger before it can
be harvested.
