DID ELI BUSHES BALL
BY WILLIAM u. HANNA.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Oct. yale had
fairly interesting time of 1t this after
room with the Carnegie Tech eleven of
Pittsburg throughout the first half OF
the Blues first football game this sea
ron, but before the game was over i
was no more than n ronp for the Ellis.
The score was A to o.
The biggest share OF these points wa
made in the final period. The lighter
Carnegie Tech lads. worn down by the
pounding received from the Yale backs
were tossed and toppled for rwenty-one
points in that period, with Yale using
substitutes by the score.
There was great deal OF fumbling.
nearly all Of It by Carnegie Tech, and
tho errors OF the visitors, fully as much
as merits of the Blue helped pile up
the latters fat total. Yale made only
one tumble, and as one of the good
points OF the big fellows' playing was
splendid following OF the ball, the Yalen-
rians took full advantage OF their op-
ronents' mistakes.
Yale Features Rushing.
The Blue played mostly a rushing
game. surging through off tackle for
repeated short gains. In the early part
OF the game the Yale taclsling. was poor.
It never reached high standard, but /,
improved. The offence was fast and
slow in turns and the defence. excep,
the poor tackling. uniformly good. The
ends, 1t was clearly evident. need heaps
of practice. The Blue players as whole
were poor covering punts.
The backf1eld play OF the Ellis wa:
quite uneven. Weber and Herman. for
instance. We're slow In getting under
way and hit the opposition somewhat
softly. Aldrich, Kempton and Murphy
were fast. took their openings cleanly
and injected lot of dash into the at.
tack Their forwards opened up holes
for them at will.
Friends of Eli who thought to see
capt Callahan's men cut loose with
something real and effective In the for
ward pass line were disappointed. II
was evident that this form OF attack
viii be used good deal. but II was
POORLY done to-day. II the ball was well
thrown 1t wasn't caught, and it WASH,
always well thrown. Only once In hall
a dozen or more tries did IL succeed. and
that time 1t was Murphy to Aldrich
Murphy hurled the leather accurately
but the receiver generally failed e
hold It,
Murphy Does Some Starring.
Murphy in the last period made a
s2-yard dash for touchdown, and In
the third period he kicked a goal from
the. 1s-yard line from a hard angle and
into cross wind. Yale hammered
ahead to most OF it's touchdowns. bu,
Murphy ran and an for his. and Cal.
noun made one by breaking through and
railing on a fumbled pass from centre
Capt. Golden of Carnegie did the
ftimbling back of his own goal line
Quaile of the Ellis interrupted a forwar I'd
rass on Techs 12-yard line, and imme.
diate!y following that coup Sturm, a
right = capable substitute, jammed
through for a touchdown.
Penalties came thick and fast more
by Tech than by Yale, but an ex.
cess of them by both. Formations
of the familiar Yale type were
seen. the shift OF linemen and the
backs jumping forward into position
back OF the unbalanced line at the word
OF command. The Blue offence had q
share Of effective deception. such as run
ming from fake forward pass and run.
ming from lick formation.
With Aldrich, kempton and Murphy
all capable OF being developed into
threats. inasmuch as all three can run
and kick and pass. the Yale attack has
possibilities OF strategy and versatility.
Callahan, Acosta and Dickens we're up
Ia their usual high standard but the end
play was below II. Tho Carnegie ends
and tackles excelled Els I'm open field
work. and on one occasion Irwin. the
Tech centre, toro down and flung in
his tracks Ffdo Kempton. who had
caught punt. Yale lost the ball once
on downs. and Tech never had Il In Yale
territory.
Murphy missed two field goals. one
from the 40. the other from the 30 yarr
line. He did deft swerving and used
tricky chance of pace while Keeling off
his long run to the goal line. The lire.
