  75-YARD RUN GIVES VICTORY TO YALE Dartmouth Is Beaten, 16 to IL, by LaSt-Minute Touchdown. NEW HAVEN, Conn, November a. Yale defeated Dartmouth, 16 to IL, this afternoon, thanks to a will-o’-thewisp back, Hoot Ellis of Des Moines, Iowa, who leaped up in the gathering dusk and drizzling rain to steal most of the thunder which had been allotted in advance to Albie Booth of Yale and AL Marsters of Dartmouth. With Dartmouth leading, II to 10. late in the final period Ellis, who runs the 100 and 220 in impressive style when he swaps his foot bali uniform for a track suit, intercepted a Green pass on his own 25-yayd line and out diStanced the field in a wild dash to the touchdown the Blue needed. Dartmouth Victoryless. Dartmouth never has won a game from Yale. one tie being its sole credit in IL games. Late this afternoon great majority of the crowd of 10000 of days for the lads from the Hanover Hills of the White Mountains. on in front, thanks to field goal by Booth and touchdown by Beane, substitute, the Blue had seen its lead shot away when the visitors scored two touchdowns In quick succession in the third period. The big Green team apparently had found way to reduce Booths early long-gaining runs, and the two points seemed bit too much. And then came Ellis and with him the ball game. Booth Early in Fray. Booth leaped into the fray early in the first period when the Ellis had the ball on Dartmoutn’s 20-yard line. The little fellow could not 60 for touch down, but he kicked field goal from the 15-yard line and then started to run as only Booth can in this foot ball setting He gained more than 100 yards from scrimmage in the first half, but the Green always steadied in time to stop the last vital dash. In the meantime Marsters had been unable to shake himself loose from an alert crowd Of Yale hawks, his one dash being the return of the kickoff almost half the length of the field. The half ended with the early 8 points looming as big as the mountains from which the Big Green team came, with hope in its heart to batter down the ancient edge boasted by Yale. Amazing Rapidity. The situation changed in the second half with amazing rapidity. Almost at the start of the third period, Beane was squarely in front of Marsters when he fumbled on his 30-yard line. The sub back caught the ball in the air and sprinted over the goal line before Dartmouth knew what had happened. With 10 points with which to work instead of 3. Yale sat back quite content. but not for long. Marsters stood with his feet on his own goal line to toss pass to Booma in midfeld and two passes to Mccall scored a touchdown, another came i’m mediately. Dartmouth kicked off to Yale and when q Blue back fumbled, Andres fell on the ball for the Green, on Yale’s 34-yard line. Marsters did the rest, making touchdown In three plays. Quarterback Is Hurt. Late in the third period Marsters left Booth to carry on the duel alone, the Dartmouth quarterback being forced to limp off the field. His sub, Tommy Longnecker, put the Green in position to threaten the Blue goal line, but bit of questionable judgment ended MS good work a minute later. Longnecker intercepted desperate pass from Booth on Yale’s 35-yard line and when two rushing plays failed TO gain, decided to do some passing on MS own account. He slipped as he started to throw the ball and from a position % the ground tried TO get the ball of anyway. IL sailed straight into the hands OF Ellis and no one in the white jerseys Dart mouth wore today could hope to catch
