After that the ball seesawed back and forth in the middle of the field until near the end of the period. when Gilbert. instead of letting a Yale punt roll across the goal line. stopped the ball on his own 3-yard line and was downed.

  Yale RoutS Maryland; Rolls Up Score of 81 to o Joe Neville, Hero of 1916 Battles Against Harvard and Princeton, Stars for Elis-His Punting Feature. ended after Yale lost hne opportunity to score. A third down found Yale need ing seven yards for touchdown, Dut the forward pass attempted was not completed, and as the ball went out OF the ten yard zone the ball was Mary land’a Time sounded, with the ball in Yale’s possession after Maryland had punted. Not to be outdone by Braden Webb came through with a touchdown early in the second half and Neville kicked the goal. Despite the heavy field and the rain, which fell during the second half, there was not n tumble on either SIDE. The only bad feature OF Yale’s play in the second half was Galvin’s bad passes to Neville and Lay, which caused the backs to be. thrown for losses in each case Second Team Scores. The fourth quarter found Yale’s entire second team lined UP against Mary land, and this combination was strong enough to cross the Southerner’s line Yale gained a distinct advantage in this quarter when Neville got off sixty yard punt and, with Aldrich and Braden ploughinR the light line. brought the ball down to striking distance. Chet La Roche having supplanted Kempton shot forward pass eighteen yards TO Braden, one of the three forward passes which the latter completed, and on the second play Braden was over for an other touchdown. This was the last touchdown, but did not end Yale’s scoring, as Braden’s field goal came later in that quarter. Chick Neville, taking La Roche’s place at quarter. made a great stab at giving Yale another score when he ran back punt forty-fve yards to the Maryland 90 yard line. A penalty cost Yale a score and the game was over. Sharpe used no less than three complete sets of guards, tackles, centres and quarters, besides two sets Of ends and backs. The only Eli who did not come quite up to expectations was Bob Lay, who was undoubtedly hampered by the heavy field OF the second strong backneld Braden and Aldrich showed up best. Braden’s great improvement to-day was evidenced by the way he handled for ward passes in the style which used to feature his play at Washington and JEFF ferson, and Aldrichs fierce and speedy running showed that he must be counted on in the final selection. For the first time this season Kemp toms name does not appear in the open ing paragraph of Yale football write up. Lest 1t be assumed that his performance was at all Off color It Is hastily added that only the appearance OF the veteran Joe Neville into the lineup caused the omission Of the quarterbacks name because he played his regular consstent game. In running back punts he even showed up better than before, but he was aided in this respect by the short kicks that Knode got off. From Yale’s standpoint the game was thorough success, and the Bulldog is keen tonight over the prospects of tearing up the Brown bear here next Saturday. The lineup:
