BATES BURIED
BY YALE 48 TOO

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 23-
Yale swamped Bates In the OPEN
ing football game of the season
this afternoon, AS to D and dis
played an abundance OF material
which must have opened the eyes of
delegates from Harvard, Princeton
and other institutions OF learning
scattered among the 10000 interested
spectators in the bowl. Yale show d
something other than mere raw ma
terial also. There was q sharp at
tack. a stone wall defense, q keen
eye on the ball and display of foot
ball sense which. at this early writ
ing, looked good to the big Yale
, crowd.
1t was too hot for good football,
but Yale played good football. never
theless and not a first down was
made against the blue line. In fact
the total yardage gained during the
| afternoon by the Maine men in
straight rushing was less than the
distance required for first down.
fale's forward smashed through in
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 blue
clad warriors sitting around him on
the side-lineS. made % substitutions
during the 40 minutes Of play and
each man did well. 1t was too great
| an array of talent to cope with and
the Bates men though fighting hard
We're content to keep the score with
IN the half century mark.
Advance information has made 1T
plain that Yale is to be strong this
year in backfeld material. The
dope wasn't upset by the showing
thls afternoon. Captain Jordan,
, Neidlinger, Mallory and Bench. last
years freshmen star, Knapp, keller.
OHearn, Beckett and Haas, all
showed early season class and there
was little to choose from in their
work of this galaxy by ball carriers.
Jones threw his so-called first var
s!ty against the Maine men at the
start but after the first period there
was a steady stream of Ellis running
on and off the field.
There was wide interest I'm the
teS'ihg or the new rule allowing for
point following touchdown. and
which t3kcs the place OF the former
one man play. Yale elected each
llme TO try for drop kick after the
team had lined up in front of the
Soal post on the FIVE yard line and
inside OF the seven attempts the ef-
Tort was crowned with succcss
Beckett missed on goal in thc saconl
period. o'Iicarn. Beckett and KEEL
, ICY each kicked two without much OF
an effort.
ne touchdowns came thick and

Ter recovered the ball on the II ward
line and after Il series OF steady iahs

the first play after he entered the
game. Mallory made another in the
third period after some good line
hucklng and open field work and Haas
buckcd his way through Just before
the end of the first half Mallory got
another one in The third period and
IN the fourth quarter Yale's substi-
tutes ran the tired visitors off their
feet
'his quarter whom Dan Kelley, who
had just taken Becketts place at quar-
ter, lodged his way 50 yards through
the entire Bates team. ]; was bril-
liant play and enthused the big crowd.
Just previous to that run, Ncidlingor
shot long forward pass to Eddy. the
play being the best aerial effort of the
day. 1t nctted Ia.e SO yards Yal,'s
forward passing was uniformly good.
