VALE ELEVEN SWINGS
 INTO FINE FORM
Beats Lehigh 12 to o-Shows Strong
 Defensive.

Playing with Q snap, dash and drive that brought joy to the hearts of the Yale rooters and a look of concern to the faces of scouts of the Blues fu- ture opponents this raI1 Captain Blacks husky and aggressive Eli kick CTS planked the rough and strong Ie- high eleven 12-0 on the historic Old Yale field Saturday afternoon and caused a feeling of genuine satisfac- tion throughout the entire Blue camp.
 It has been several years since a Yale eleven has looked so good at this point in the season and the improve ment over the play against the Vir- ginians the week previous was gen orally commented upon. Straight foot ball by the home team was the rule practically all of the time, there being plenty of good, hard bangs into the line and swift dashes around the ends and on the defense, a lot of clean, sharp tackling.
 The only thing to mar the work of the Yale team was the rather poor handling of the ball at times, there being no less than half a dozen fumbles in which Bob Bingham played. a great part, one of which, under the very shadow of the Lehigh goal posts in the opening period. cost Yale touchdown. Otherwise the crowd of over 5000 found plenty over which to enthuse. It was a record crowd for an early season game. filling the aisles

 Lehigh lost because it could not get started. Yale presented a fine line Saturday and when the Blue forwards weren't stemming the rush of the Brown players for no gain they were flashing through and throwing the Le- high runners for losses Of from five to ten yards. The South Bethlehem men were a good deal stronger than the Virginians, as it was expected they al rougher. But the over-strenuOus play of the visitors didn't yeaze Captain Blacks men and only brought the Le- high men many penalties.
 Yale's first tally came a few minutes after the second period started and Yale had received the ball on a punt. Harry Legore took the ball on the first lineup after the kick and strealled his way in and out among practically the entire Lehigh eleven for 67 yards and a touchdown. It was a particularly brilliant run, tackler after tackler be- ing straight-arme off '9y Legore, only one man threatening to do any dam age to the runner and this occurring dozen yards from the northwest cor ner when Harry nearly lost his foot ing He regained his balance long enough to shoot over the line, how ever, and didn't go down under the Lehigh attack until he had placed the ball almost behind the Brown goal posts.
 Gates failed to kick the goal, the wind taking the ball off to one side of the posts.
 The other score came in the fourth quarter after Legore had tried a goal from the 45-yard line and it was car ried by the stiff breeze quartering over the field, down into the southeast cor ner. After the ball was brouht in, on the two-yard mark, a, Lehigh punt sent it into Legore's arms on the vis- itors' 25-yard mark. From this point Bingham began to pound the Lehigh line and after one gain of nine yards he again took a shot at the center and dashed over for a touchdown. Legore's attempt at the goal was also wide and the ball struck the left hand goal post and bounded back into the field.
 The outstanding feature of the game of course, was Legore's spectacular 67-yard run for the first score but ranking with 1t was a beautifully ex- ecuted forward pass shot from the hand of Quarterback Russel to Full back McGinness in the second quarter and which not only netted the visitors 32 yards, but by banding it on the Blue 10-yard line placed the ball the nearest it ever got to the home teams goal.
