Does Not Reveal It's Best Form
in Beating Williams,
90 to @.
O'HEARN FLASHES SPEED
Lives Up to Reputation as He
Directs New Haven
Eleven.
BY DANIEL.

team this afternoon showed about as
much as it cared to show and won by
about as much as it wanted to win.
At only rare intervals in the game
with the eleven from Williams did the
Ellis let loose and develop their top
speed. There was an intense effort to
eliminate rough edges, to attain rhythm
and smoothness rather than grea,
scoring power But with all that the
Yale combination managed to put
score into each quarter and defeated
the Purple by 23 to 0.
There was a touchdown by Beckett
in the first period. touchdown by the
brilliant Aldrich in the second quar-
ter, field goal by that same streak
session. and then a final crossing of
the Williams goal line by the flashy
O'Hearn in the last period. From two
Of the touchdowns goals were kicked.
Those who came expecting to see
Yale flash little Of the stuff which
they think will be hurled against the
Army here next Saturday were greatly
disappointed And il is more than
likely that the Blue will fight the
Cadets with little more than 1t fought
the scrappy team from the BerlSshires
this afternoon. The Els used the old
fashioned smash off tackle, an oc-
casional slam at the pivot, just enough
forward passes to vary the monotony
of the exhibition and generous dash
of the kicking game. Their defence
was intelligent and snappy.
williams Not Advanced.
Williams was not quite as we'll pre-
pared for the contest as had been ex-
pected, from the standpoint OF an ad-
vanced and varied attack. The team
coached by Percy Wendell OF Harvard
used little more than a Harvard eleven
would have used in its third game OF
he season There was a marked lack of
that late season stuff which most minor
teams are sure to try when they meet
major opponents in early campaign
battles. The meagreness OF the Williams
running attack was particularly surpris-

Yale mainstays, Aldrich. cHearn, Jor-
dan and young man by the name of

third period could not help giving most

1t was only with its forward pass that |
Williams at all bothered Yale. A couple
Of filings played major role in sending
Die visitors to Yale's eleven yard mark
y the second quarter. and that eleven |
lard mark was the limit of Williams's |
Progress for the afternoon. In The ..i.rd |
auarter the eleven from Williamstown |
managed to work its way 10 the Blues |
twenty-five yard line.
At that stage Jones rushed the scntil
iating O'Hearn into the game, and let |
us say that the newcomer made his pres
ence felt Immediately. He put more
pepper into the defence. he speeded up
the attack so far that the brakes had 10
be put on. No sooner had he replaced
Beckett than he crashed into Williams
mass. intercepted a forward pass and
killed off what looked like possible adj
vance toward the Yale goal line.
Aerial Attack Threatens.
Just before OHearn came in the Will
iams boys were having a high old time
with their aerial attack Mallon threw
one pass to Pease which netted thirty
three yards and put the Purple on the
Blues SO yard line. right after that
came a pass which failed, but in a thrice
another toss came from Mallon to HeaIy
for ten yards. Burger made yard
through the left side and the Williams
contingent roared. But O'Hearn re-
duced that roar to hoarsc whisper.
This man OHearn is the real goods.
He Is streak. a great runner through a
broken field. a smart and fast carrier in
reversing. q quick diagnoser OF the op-
POSITIONS defence. He carries himself
even better than did kempton In his
good days. O'Hearn knows how to keep
his feet. His excellence is not confined
to the offensive. He seems to be quite
as effective on defence. AS for his
qualities as general they still are to
be determined. He used only a very few
plays to-day and there was no call for
any fine quality of judgment in their
