By DANIEL. / New HAVEN, Nov. 4.-”Flash” Neidlinger they’ll call him from now on. ! The Yale quarterback flashed and dazzled against the Brown eleven before 10000 persons in the bowl this afternoon. Thrice did he go streak ing through the entire Brown team for a touchdown. Thrice did Flash score--and Yale scored only thrice The Ellis triumphed by 20 to 0--and at the close the young field general from East Orange. n. j., and Andover stood out with a brilliance which was reminiscent of Mac Aldrich, Ted Coy and Steve Philbin. Yale has had it’s Homeric T4tans, its crafty. elusive lumiuaries. Yale has seen many an Eli football hero rise to gargantuan stature in a Yale triumph which was very much all his own. But we doubt If Yale gridiron annals bear a brighter page of individual achievement than the one which Neidlinger wrote into them under the lowering skies in the twenty eighth meeting with the Bears from Providence. NeidlingerS three touchdowns were accomplished with runs VIII Oh totale1 ! li5 yards. Twice he scored from a forward pass.

Fiftyfive yards were covered in play which gave Neidinger his first touchdown. from a forward pass in the second period.

The score was Yale. 20; Brown, o. Newell Neidlinger. an East Or ange. N J., youngster. scored all three of the Eli’s ‘touchdowns and made three of the most sensational and thrilling runs ever seen in the Bowl.

He shot the ball to Neidlinger. waiting in mid field. The Yale quarter left all Brown pursuers behind as IL their shoes were soled with anvils. In the third quarter Neidlinger caught the ball on Adams kick and darted through the Rhode Island players as IL they were rooted tc the ground as solidly as stalwart oaks. Wight kicked the goal. In the fourth quarter. after some little scrimmage which did not net either team much. Yale staged a kick formation and Wight passed to Neidlinger on his own 35-yard line. He tucked the oval under his arm. lowered his head and scooted for the goal as IL his life depended on 1t. Nary a Brown player laid hands on him; nor was he accorded any real protection by his mates. He just ran. Wight again kicked safely, so there you have It: Newell Neidlinger who raced to three touchdowns and Ted Wight who kicked two goals. Jones sent in a battalion of subs in the final period. About $4,000 saw the game.

The last period was featured by fire. guent punting, Brown resorting to these tactics frequently when Yale threatened. 1t was Neidlinger again who scored for Yale few minutes before the end of the game and once more 1t was the aerial attack that led to Yale’s score. Wight heaved perfect pass to his quarter on Yale’s 40-yard line and Neldlinger worked his way down the quarterfeld for sixty yards and a touchdown, aided by superb interference. Brown tacklers were bowled over right and left as they were preparing to lay Neidlinger low. Wight kicked an easy goal. Yale was content to call 1t a day after scoring her third touchdown. becket went in for the doughty little Neidlinger, who was greeted enthusiast tically by the entire Blue cheering sec ton as he left the field. The bali was mostly in Brown territory in the clos ing, period. A minute before the game ended Adams took pass from Higgins and ran forty-five yards for what might have been score, but the pass was an uncompleted one and the ball was called back.
