New HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 30.-Colgate, ! battered or beaten by every team she has met this year, and generally re- garded as the easy mark of Eastern elevens. gave Yale all the football she wanted this afternoon. in a surprising reversal Of form. holding the Ellis to Il to score. The first period found Yale on the jump all the way, and the blue jerseyed men, several Of them substitutes. running up fourteen points on two touchdowns and two goals. The second period saw Yale held evenly and the third period found Capt Callahan’s men completely OUT played. Yale never had the ball in Colgate territory in this quarter. and the fine running of Webster, Colgate’s left halfback. was always something | the Ellis had 10 look for. The Colgate team also had the jump on Yale dur ing the final quarter UP to the last three minutes, when a typical Yale punch was uncovered by the backs and a touchdown was scored with less than moment to play. 1t came after Yale had been held for 3 downs on her ~ yard line Kemplon | dropped back as II to kick and he shot a beautiful pass TO Diiworth. standing ! on Colgates goal line. Tho tall end ! fell over the line for the final touchdown and enabled Yale to retire with \ 70 bav Line Ripped Open. !

In all he alone tore off SO yards through or, around Yale’s line. He runs like Kelie,; 81 OF Yale, who was taken out late in thaO ganae in q grogsy condition. The tack ling OF the Yale team was high aneV poor during tho greater part OF thu, game, and the passing Of Cross thu sub centre 60 his backs was bad Ia | Yale’s first touchdown was maden early. Getting the ball on Colgate’s 4s-yard line on kick which followed | tumble by Webster, Jordan, Campbell and Kelley hammered the Colgate line for twenty yards. when the ground 1 gaining halted. With three yards to go on a fourth down Kemplcn shot a for | ward pass to Kelley and the Yale back covered twenty yards. being thrown out OF bounds on the 1o-yRrd line. KempIon Makes First Score.
