RAcKFIELD IS STRONG

NEW HAVEN, conn.,, sept 23.-Yale
swamped Bates in the opening football
game of the season this afternoon, As TO
O. and displayed an abundance of ma
terial which must have opened the eyes
OF delegates from Harvard. Princeton
and other institutions of learning scat
tered among the 2GGoo spectators in
the Bowl. The Ellis showed a sharp at
tack, stonewall defense. a keen eye
on she ball and display of football
sense which. at this early stage, looked
mighty good to the big Yale crowd.
1t was too hot for real top notch foot
ball. but Yale played good football
nevertheless, and not a first down was
made against the Blue. In fact the total
yardage gained during the afternoon by
the Maine men in. straight rushing was
less than the distance required for a
first down. Yale's forwards smashed
through on the Bates backs before they
got started. and the only attempt made
by the visitors to gain by way of the
forward pass was smeared.
Tad Jones, with an army of cnyious
blre clad young men aroun him on
the side lines, made twenty-five sutst
tutons during the forty minutes of PLAY
and each man did well. 1t was tHo
great an array Of talent to cope With.
and the Bates men. though fighting
hard. were content to keep the score
within the half century mark.

takes the place of the former one man

in front of the goal post on the five
yard line, and in six of the seven at
tempts the effort was crowned with sue
