NEW HAVEN, Conn, November a.
Yale defeated Dartmouth, 16 to IL,
this afternoon, thanks to a will-o'-the-
wisp back, Hoot Ellis of Des Moines,
Iowa, who leaped up in the gathering
dusk and drizzling rain to steal most
of the thunder which had been allotted
in advance to Albie Booth of Yale and
AL Marsters of Dartmouth.
With Dartmouth leading, II to 10.
late in the final period Ellis, who runs
the 100 and 220 in impressive style
when he swaps his foot bali uniform
for a track suit, intercepted a Green
pass on his own 25-yayd line and out
diStanced the field in a wild dash to the
touchdown the Blue needed.
Dartmouth Victoryless.
Dartmouth never has won a game
from Yale. one tie being its sole credit
in IL games. Late this afternoon
great majority of the crowd of 10000
of days for the lads from the Hanover
Hills of the White Mountains.
on in front, thanks to field goal
by Booth and touchdown by Beane,
substitute, the Blue had seen its lead
shot away when the visitors scored
two touchdowns In quick succession in
the third period. The big Green team
apparently had found way to reduce
Booths early long-gaining runs, and
the two points seemed bit too much.
And then came Ellis and with him the
ball game.
Booth Early in Fray.
Booth leaped into the fray early in
the first period when the Ellis had the
ball on Dartmoutn's 20-yard line. The
little fellow could not 60 for touch
down, but he kicked field goal from
the 15-yard line and then started to
run as only Booth can in this foot
ball setting
He gained more than 100 yards from
scrimmage in the first half, but the
Green always steadied in time to stop
the last vital dash. In the meantime
Marsters had been unable to shake
himself loose from an alert crowd Of
Yale hawks, his one dash being the
return of the kickoff almost half the
length of the field.
The half ended with the early 8
points looming as big as the mountains
from which the Big Green team came,
with hope in its heart to batter down
the ancient edge boasted by Yale.
Amazing Rapidity.
The situation changed in the second
half with amazing rapidity. Almost
at the start of the third period, Beane
was squarely in front of Marsters when
he fumbled on his 30-yard line. The
sub back caught the ball in the air
and sprinted over the goal line before
Dartmouth knew what had happened.
With 10 points with which to work
instead of 3. Yale sat back quite con-
tent. but not for long.
Marsters stood with his feet on his
own goal line to toss pass to Booma
in midfeld and two passes to Mccall
scored a touchdown, another came i'm
mediately. Dartmouth kicked off to
Yale and when q Blue back fumbled,
Andres fell on the ball for the Green,
on Yale's 34-yard line. Marsters did
the rest, making touchdown In three
plays.
Quarterback Is Hurt.
Late in the third period Marsters
left Booth to carry on the duel alone,
the Dartmouth quarterback being forced
to limp off the field. His sub, Tommy
Longnecker, put the Green in position
to threaten the Blue goal line, but
bit of questionable judgment ended MS
good work a minute later.
Longnecker intercepted desperate
pass from Booth on Yale's 35-yard line
and when two rushing plays failed TO
gain, decided to do some passing on MS
own account.
He slipped as he started to throw the
ball and from a position % the ground
tried TO get the ball of anyway. IL
sailed straight into the hands OF Ellis
and no one in the white jerseys Dart
mouth wore today could hope to catch
