New Haven, Oct. 9.-Yale defeated
Lehigh by a score OF j to here this

The game was a tremendous disap-
pointment to Yale enthusiasts, despite
the fact that Yale won, for the New
Haven team showed no improvement
over the form displayed in the Virginia
game week ago. Driving power be-
hind the line, ability on the defence
and, most of all, general team play were
lacking.
The Lehigh backfeld tried fake end
rushes for good gains through centre
repeatedly, and the Yale ends were
boxed on numerous occasions. The
Lehigh forward passes, beautifully ex-
ecuted by Chenoweth. were worked for
long gains, and Yale's secondary de-
fence seemed powerless to stop the
Lehigh ends, except on rare occasions.
On the offence the Yale lateral and for
ward passes did not work smoothly and
failed to bring gains, while line rush
ing tactics brought results but little
more satisfactory.
