The fact that the Brown football team
which defeated Yale last Saturday was
the strongest that the Providence In
stitution has turned out In many years
gives little consolation to Yale. The
defeat should prove that no team can
stand up under twice as hard n sched-
ule as its opponents II then come into
its championship games In fine condi-
ton and with n clean slate.
A careful study OF the Brown game
will show just that effect the hard
schedule had on Yale. There Is no Ques-
tion that Yale had reached a very criti-
cal point In it's development when 1t
met Brown. What the Ellis needed at
that stage Of the season was an easy
game. While Yale was playing the
formidable Colgate team a week ago
Princeton was having a soft time with
Bucknell and Harvard was having n
carnival with Virginia.
A brief summary OF the Yale Brown
contest will bring out the severeness OF
the Ellis preliminary games. The Brow
game itself was long enough to bring
out the strain that the men from New
Haven had undergone. The game opened
with Yale taking the offensive part and
going through Brown with a terrific

but the Providence men held ana the
Ellis lost the ball on downs. An at
tenpted punt was blocked, but Pollard
picked up the pigskin n ran II out TO
the IL yard line. where another kick was
tried with success.
Played Itself Out.
Yale received the bail near the centre
q the field and started again toward
tho opponents goal and marched right
across. but an offside by Yale caused
the ball to be brought back to the IL
yard line. from which Braden had gone
over. Thus Brow prc5erved the record
OF not having Its goal line crossed.
Since Yale ceased To gain Braden
dropped back and sent the ball over the
crossbar for the Els first tally. The
second period still found the Bulldog
pounding away at Brown. but the hes,
the Blue could do VAS to again ge,
within kicking distance and Brader
booted the ball between the uprights for
another 3 points.
The tide OF battle seemed to change

The interesting thing to note Is tina
Pollard could not get away in the frs
half. That was not due to any lack o
ability on his part. for naturally n
would have been able to run stronge
when he was fresh.
The redeeming thing Is the fact tina
Princeton was going through apothe

Princeton's strength Is increased by tn
presence OF Tibbott. for Yale has a dro

team worry within the 40 yard line.
Braden's exhibition against Brow
