BOOTH LEADS Ellis
TO 21-TO-0 VICTORY
Heads Each Telling Drive.
Makes a Touchdown and
Kicks Field Goal.
BY EDWARD J. NEIL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

M 18.-Albie Booth, mighty
/ little man of Yale, fitted
through a rugged Brown
eleven today with all the fire and
improbability of a sports hero of
fiction, retired to the side lines,
and then came back with the
roarS of 10000 worshippers in his
ears to stave of the desperate bid
of the enemy and turn foot ball
game into a rout.
The little fellow was all Yale had for
an offense, but he was all Yale needed.
Starting his first game for Old Eli,
withdrawn from the climax" role that
has been his part in the Yale plan Of
attack since he first dazzled the OPP
position last Fall, Able led every sus-
tanned attack, scored one touchdown,
put the ball in position for another,
and neatly drop-kicked 25-yard field
goal for his part In the 21-0 victory.
More than that, after leaving the
game near the end of the first half,
with Yale leading by an apparently
safe margin Of IL to 0, Albie saw him
self called back at the start OF the
ing offensive that threatened to de-
moralize his mates. In q situation that
would delight the heart of any oppor-
tunist, Albie trotted back into the
breach, whipped up his team, and neat
" left soon afterward with the old
alma mater nine more points to the
good and his praises ringing again
through the bowl.
Booth Fails Only Once.
For one thing, Albie proved today
that he can 60 the route, match his
fieetneSs and uncanny broken-feld run
ming with strong fresh opponents and
treat them as harshly as he does when
thrust upon a tired foe. The only time
he failed was when called upon to break
Browns husky forward wall down on
the goal line, and then 1t seemed as
though lack of weight alone held him
back.
Able fumbled the opening kick, but
recovered and led O spectacular charge
of 81 yards TO within 3 yards Of the
Brown goal.
He slipped inside and outside the
burly Brown tackles, picking UP and
8 yards at thrust, aided now and then
by his massive fullback, Joe Crowley,
until he made first down on Browns
10-yard line. He threw himself four
times at the center Of massed defense
and wound up checked for downs
yards from the last marker.
Brown had to kick from behind the
goal and Chase, subbing for the ailing
captain, Link Fogarty, hoisted only to
his own 33-yard line. Booth wanted
score, so he fell back and hoisted q
drop-kick at the goal posts IS yards
away. The ball went vide by inches.
Able turned on the heat. He took
on another Of Chase's kicks out Of a
group Of Brown forwards, slipped,
lodged, found the Sideline and gal
loped SO yards before the last man got
him on Browns 39-yard line. Crowley
and Dunn helped him crash to the To-
yard mark, and the fullback went over
on fourth down from yard away
The first of Browns two real OF
running around end for 20 and IS
yards on a deceptive double-pass play,
broke UP early in the second quarter
and gave Able another opportunity.
Flygare, Eli end, shared an enemy
lateral at midfield and ran to Browns
36-yard line Able passed to Null
field, Crowley's sub, on Browns 23-yard
line, and plunged TO the 16-yard mark,
but he had TO wait to score until after
Brown held for downs and Chase kicked
to him at midfleld. Albie went all the
way to the 2l-yard line with the aid
Of a penalty for roughing, sliced IL
through tackle to Browns and went
over in two more plays.
More Yale Scoring.
Booth went out then and did not
come back until the start of the fourth
quarter, when CURL, Fogarty and
Ritelli were bathing the Eli defense that
had Sandy Weiner, once Bill Tilden's
tennis protege, at quarter. Brown bat
tered to Yale's 4-yard line, but the Ellis
held Brown hammered back to the
11-yard mark and Yale beloved for
Booth.
Albie trotted back out there for the
first play of the final quarter. Rotelli
fumbled for Brown, and Yale took the
ball on her own 15-yard line
Then with Albie slicing, twisting, jab-
bling at holes no one else seemed to find,
the Ellis ploughed straight down the
field. Booth reached the Brown 12-yard
mark, faded back to the IS, and drop
ped over a perfect field goal.
A few plays later Ed Rotan, 225-pound
substitute guard, Snaked a lateral out
of the air and ran IS yards for Yale's
final score.
Booth called it a day then and left
two undistinguished squads to wrestle
it out to a finish
