SCORE STANDS IA TO II q Special Despatch TO THE New YORK HEsALn NEW HAVEN. Conn, Nov with defeat staring them IN the face as the fourth quarter opened. the Yale eleven launched an attack against the Brown line in the Bowl this afternoon that swept the defenders off their feet. Ming ling modern football with the old fash toned. Yale turned what looked like a severe beating into a glorious victory. much to the satisfaction OF crowd OF 40, 900 persons. The final score was IA to 10, and twice Yale had 70 come from behind. for the men from the Providence university put UP great battle, holding a lighting Yale team practically even all the way. The typical Yale punch in the final quarter was a remind er OF days OF yore. and just when the thousand Brown followers in the east side of the structure were counting on q snake dance OF their own the tide turned. From the moment Yale began to march to the Brown goal line, even after their final quarter started. it was evident to everybody that Tad Jones had developed an at tack OF the old Yale type. Yale on its first thrust got the yard line. but Brown held and punted. In less than three minutes more of playing time the Blue repeated. this time aided ma terially by q fine forward pass from Murphy to Kelly. whici. placed the ball three yards from the line. In two plunges Kelly took it over and Yales bacon was saved. Browns Backs Unsteady. Browns backs were a bit unsteady in the handling of the ball on kicks, but otherwise the team played q sharp game Of football. her cr’sscross plays. double passes and lateral passes battling the Yale line on a score OF occasions. Brown also was versed in the forward passing art and gained over seventy-five yards through this play. II was a typical Brown team, with short speedy backs. a good line and ends in williams and Albright. that stood out sharply as ends sometimes do. Yale played without the services of Capt Callahan. Aldrich. Dickins, Acosta, Jordan and Into, all regular varsity men. who will face Princeton week from to-day, and the fine showing OF the Blue put a good deal of hope in the breasts OF the coaches that the Ellis would hold their own against the Tigers and Har- | ward in the two games to come. The back field play of Frank Kelley. Sturm, Murphy and Kempton was brilliant today The first period was scoreless. but | Brown got d touchdown soon after tho second quarter opened. A kick by French was run back TO the 40 yard line and in the second play oden and Will Jams worked the double pass. the dusl<y end of the Brown team skirting Cutters end for fifteen Yards. After Oden had picked UP four yards on a centre plunge Moody shot a forward pass TO Albright and this sterling end ran until he was thrown on the yard line Oden was stopped by Herr in a plunge. but the next time shot between Herr and Walker for a touchdown. Armstrong kicked the goal and Browns stock went up. In the first period Murphy fumbled a punt on the Yale 9 yard line and II was recovered by GulIan. Try as they would. the Brown players were forced to surrender the ball on downs. the final effort being forward pass, which fell dead over tho goal line. Yale Evens Score. Late IN the second quarter Dilworth blocked one OF Armstrong; punts and Cutler fell on the bali fourteen Yards from the Brown goal line. Kelley, Sturm and French plugged the Brown went over between Cuban and Bar rett. This evened things. but Browns | score was soon boosted 20 10 by a fine | drop kick from the q yard line. Arm strong probably was as much surprised ~ the Brown students. because the teams captain was never an adept IN this line This kick was made in the | third quarter. Kempter was sent TO left halfback about this time. relieving French. and Murphy. who had previously been re- | lieved by Kempton. going in for him at quarter again.
