NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 29.-In
beating Brown, 45 to z, to-day Yale
played as flashy game of football as
was ever seen in the Yale Bowl, ex-
cepting the game in 1914, when Har-
ward smothered the Ellis by almost so
points. Long runs by various members
of Yale's backfield, a forry-seven-vard
field goal by Captain Aldrich and a
ffty-two- yard run by Sweet, of Brown.

O'Hearn's forward passes, featured the
game.
Brown bothered Yale with her for

backs. especially Myers and Sweet.

forgains of from five to ten yards. There
We're times when Yale's line looked
bad, but the terrific attack, led by Cap
tain Aldrich. more than offset any
weakness of the forwards
Yale started quickly to show her
speed, and Brown began early to
demonstrate the fact that the Provi-
dence team had plenty Of grit. After
Browns first kickoff Yale worked the
ball to within a foot of the Brown
goal line, where she was held for
downs. O,Hearn caught the punt on
Browns 42-yard line. A beautiful for
Yale the ball on Browns 12-yard line
and from that point Aldrich, in two
tries, bucked his way between Monk
and Metzger for Yale's first score.
Soon afterward Sweet nabbed
O'Hearn's forward pass out of the air
on his own 48-yard line, and lodged
his way tifty-two yards for a brilliant
touchdown. He shook off The entire
Yale backfield in making his run.

Browns last point.
Two or three advances later in the
game looked like almost certain scores,
but the Brown attack was not sustained
enough to put the ball inside of Yale's
15-yard line.
Scores on Forward Pass
Yale's second score was made on a
beautiful forward pass from, O'Hearn
to Aldrich at the opening of the sec
ond period. O'Hearn feinted pass
to the right, but shifted suddenly and
heaved to Aldrich en- the dead run

yards for q touchdown.

fore the close of the first half Aldrich,
standing on his 48-yard line, kicked a
field goal 1T difficult angle, boosting
the score to "a for the first half.
Tad Jones sent in a sub backfeld at
the opening Of the second half and
they took the full playing time for the
period to get started. In the fourth
period Neidlinger, Beckett and Wight
began to show flashes of brilliant Of
Tense. A forward pass from Beckett to
Speiden, who had taken Captain Aid
rich's place, and who also was very
much in the game, gave Yale another
touchdown
The next touchdown was as pretty a
play as Yale football followers have
seen In some time. With the ball on
Browns 15yard line, Adams's punt
was blocked by Sturm, and the leather
bounded high into the air directly over
the goal line. Sturm, with the momen-
tum of his plunge, which blocked the
kick, kept on and caught the ball as it
was falling just under the crossbar.
Touchdown for Wight
Wight intercepted one of Crowther's
forward passes on Browns 30-yard line
as darkness was settling over the field
and ran the distance for touchdown.
When Cross kicked the goal Yale had
made forty-fve points, one of the larg-
est scores a Blue team has made in
several years.
