NEW HAVEN, Oct. 24.-The foot
ball fortunes of Yale came surg
ing back on high tide today as the
Ellis ran rough shod over Dartmouth
to score a II to 7 victory with sur
prising ease and furnish both &c
stasy and excitement for all the Old
Blues among. the 22000 spectators
In Yale Bowl.
From beginning till end Yale
romped all over the field, rolling up
l8 first downs and gaining a net Of
2S4 yards rushing against a Dart
mouth eleven that had been beaten
only by Colgate. The Ellis margin of
superiority was so amazing that for
a long time they didn't seem to know
What to do about it themselves and
it vas not ill late in the third period
tia they posted their first score-a
hccitant field goal.
But in the final quarter they
sandwiched two quick developing
touchdowns around Dartmouth S
only tally and joyously emerged with
what already is the most successful
season at Yale since 1889
Yale Slow in Starting.
Not since 1889 had Yale won two
games in any one year and not since
1910 had the Ellis triumphed over a
major opponent. That last big vic
tory also was over Dartmouth, while
their only success last year was
against Virginia.
1t was small wonder therefore
that this years eleven sporting only
victory over Lehigh, was slow get
ting started today. In the first half
Yale swarmed up and down the field
making eight first downs to the Big
Green's one. But every time it in
vaded Dartmouth's territory with
galloping ground gains it switched
to passes, heretofore considered its
Strongest weapon, and failed.
Finally In the third period the
Ellis drove from their 81 to Dart
mouths II and were stopped again,
SO Big Fred Dent was called in to
try placement field goal and made
1t good from the 19-yard line min
utes before the period ended.
A few moments later Ed Taylor in
tercepted a pass on his A and re-
turned II yards to propel Yale to
Dartmouth's 20 as the teams
changed goals. On the first play of
the last quarter Stan Weiner, one of
several freshmen who excelled for
the Ellis during the day, slashed off
left tackle and worked his way to
a touchdown.
Taylor Again Helps Ellis.
This jab aroused Dartmouth to its
cnly outbreak of the game. Taking
the kickoff, the Big Green came
slorting back down the field 81
Yards to a touchdown. Tom Douglas
got away for 23 yards and Ray Wolfe
rot only reelcd off gain after gain,
hut passed for IA yards and finally
Owed over the goal line from the l.
Ed Kast placekicked the extra point
to make the score 10 to and give
the fans some fleeting minutes of
concern about the outcome.
However, Yale brought the sue
ceeding kickoff back to Dartmouth S
Is right away to show who was
boss. The Ellis eventually were
stopped and Dent, who besides boot
ing the third period field goal, had
tried unsuccessfully for one from
the II in the second stanza, made
another attempt for a placement
goal, this time from 80 yards out,
and the ball went wide.
This turned out to be a break
for Yale, though, because Slow Mo-
ton Taylor" the same substitute
who had intercepted pass In the
previous period to set up touch
down, snatched another out OF the
air and returned it II yards to
Dartmouth's 49, Then he passed
for first down on the and Bob
Picket barged over from the 2 for
the last touchdown. Dent place
kicked both Yale's extra points.
