  BROWN UPSETS : The DOPE BY BIG VICTORY over YALE. New Haven. Conn, Oct. 23-tP)- Flashing unexpected speed and power, Browns dashing eleven conquered Yale today, to 0, in a game that completely upset expectations. Scoring early in the first period on a brilliant 72-yard drive that culminated in Al Cornsweet plunging over the Eli goal Brown outfought and outplayed the team that won from Dartmouth only the week before. Brown not only stopped the vaunted Eli air and rushing attack in convnicing fashion. but gave the Bulldog a dose of its own medicine. 1t was the cleverly executed forward pass ing of the Bruins that figured largely in their touchdown and provided a constant threat while II was a sturdy defense, led by Captain Broda and Farber, that broke up Yale’s most persistent efforts to score. 1t was the first time in 10 years that Brown has defeated Yale and the Bruin rooters staged a wild celebration afterward, tearing up the goal posts as they snake-danced over the gridiron. The Providence eleven has only four victories altogether TO its credit over Yale in a rivalry that began nearly 40 years ago.
