lege eleven, 81 to 10.
1t was the first real test of the sea-
son for the Yale combination and the
rev coaching regime OF Tad Jones
and the Ellis failed even more than the
score would indicate. They wallowed
around in sea of ineptness, sluggish
ness and mediocrity. They were OUT
generated. outguessed and battled of
their feet
Yale went into this contest bent on
revenge. That makes the result all
the more disappointing and CALLING
Last season at this time practically
the same Boston College outfit which
played in the bowl to-day met a Yale
eleven for the first time, and at the
end the fighters from the Hub were
in front by to 8. It was a slashing
contest, which developed all sorts of
acrimony. Yale at first wanted to
drop Boston College from its schedule,
but it decided to wait II decided to
hand the pupils Of Frank Cavanaugh
a mans size trouncing before giving
them the gate.
= Savagery Rules Game.
But things went wrong for Yale
from the start this afternoon. Again
il was a battle. Only this time there
was more savagery. more intense
feeling between the rival squads. II
was game of terrific smashing, hard
tackling and frequent exchanges Of
fistic courtesies.
1t was the most gruelling contest seen
at the Bowl and reminder of the games
Of the good old days when flying wedges
and flying tackles were all the go and
hauling, Juggling and pulling were part
OF football.
Last year Yale's defeat was largely
fiuse. poor pass gave Boston a safety
and the Ellis really beat themselves.
But this afternoon Boston deserved Its
triumph. II scored three touchdowns,
two OF them. 1t is true. with assistance
from Yale in the form of fumbles by
Frank Kelly. the former Rutgers half
back. But taken all in all, IL showed
me better attack and far the better de-
renee
In the matter of fundamentals the
Boston men made tho Ellis look de-
cidedly inferior Yale played fair foot
ball in the first period and It made
great finish. scoring a touchdown in the
last minute But in the second ana
third quarters Boston was so far ahead
u the Blue that there was no COM
parison.
Defeat "A Bitter PHI.
The defeat was q particularly bitter
pin for Yale to swallow because II made
football history OF the kind which the
Ellis did not like. IT meant that for the
first time since football was started at
Yale a minor college eleven had beaten
tie Ellis two years i'm succession. The
Boston score also tied the record for
a team outside of Harvard and Prince
soH against the Bulldog. Some years
ago Brown eleven led by Sprackling
and his great toe won over Yale ny
- to 0.
