Special Despatch TO The NEW YORK HERALD. New HAVEN Conn. Oct. S.-Yale played a splendid game of football this afternoon, considering the elements, and beat North Carolina by “a to o.. The game was played. with the excepton of a few moments in the final quarter, in n pouring rain. making the field and the ball slippery. Despite this handicap, the Yale backs made only one tumble. and a Yale man recovered that one. Captains Aldrich and Jordan kept their footing in an uncanny manner and frequently ripped off long runs through the line or around their ends. The Yale backfield men completed thirteen forward passes out of possible six teen and gave an all around account Of themselves which brought joy to the coaches. The Yale line neld like stone wall at all times and refused TO allow the Southerners a single first down. a good deal has been said OF the unsatisfactory Yale line from tackle to tackle. but since the opening kickoff of the season only two first downs have been registered against it-one by Bates and one by Vermont. Beckett ran the team to-day, and again ran 1t well. and the fourth cog In the backheld, Mallory. again went through the game without once carrying the ball. except when he caught short kckoffff. With Jordan and Aidr.cn going as they are. there seems little use for another man in the backfield. The North Carolina team looked fast and frequently Abernathy. Lowe and Tenny showed fine flashes of speed, only to lose their footing in the mud. The open game of the Ellis was one of the best ever displayed by Yale team. and the 1900 spectators marveUed at the clean handling of the BAH, the passing and receiving being done with remarkable deftness. North Carolina could do nothing in the line bucking and only once tried a forward pass. IL was successful and gained six yards for the team. Captain Lowe. the brilliant quarter back of the North Carolina team, was hurt In the third play of the second period and was carried from the field. His ankle was badly twisted.
