  WESLEYAN’S GOOD GAME YALE, HOWEyER, W0N BY 4 SCORE OF iG-O YESTERDAY. Tho visitors Played a Great DefensiveN Game and Held Yaie’s Line in Good Form-Eino Gain Work hy Mills and Kogers-Hinkey Missed Ono Goal-Ben- | jamin’s Thirty-Yard Kun. A good game was witnessed yester- day, by those who attended the Yale Wesleyan football scrimmage at Yale field. Wesleyan gave the Eli boys a good tustle ard Yale won by a hard earned score of 16 to 0. The attend ance was rather light compared with attendances at previous games at the field this year, probably owing to the threatening weather. The fact that Harvard rolled up a much larger score against Wesleyan few days ago was commented upon last night, and many thought from that fact that Harvard must have a stronger team than Yale, but Wesleyan player, in comparing Yale and Harvard elevens yesterday, said that when Wesleyan played the crimson many of her regular players were crippled and even the substitutes were in poor condition. He said that Yale plays a much stronger game than Harvard, and the Yale line is notice- ably better than Harvard’s. Wesleyan l yesterday played an entirely defensive game, and the defence put up was mag nificent for minor college tsam. Yale’s rnn1 at time during the game, and the nearest the ball was to the Yale goal except on punts was the thirty -fve-yerd line. Several times Wesleyan kicked down to the fifteen-yard- line, but each time | the ball was at once carried back to the center by Yale. Mills and Rogers played in especially good form for Yale, their gains being a | feature of the game. Benjamin made | a pretty block catching the ball on the rebound aud making some gain on q run, but his work all around was not up to the standard, and unless he picks | up considerably soon his chances of | playing in the Princeton game are slim Goodwin made several good gains on neat. sprints, and he is one of the best ground gathers Yale has, but he would probably be unable to stand hard game. By many Wesleyan’s defensive work was considered the best seen at the field tfis season. The lineup of the two teams was as 1 follows: Weseyan-Wade, center; Sibley, right guard; Moves, left guard: Henry, left tackle; Williams, right tackle; Ar thur Young, left end; Archibald Young, right end; Wilson, quarter back; Raymond, left half-back; Ky mer, right half-back; Wing, full-back. l Ys.le-(‘hamberlain, center: Murray, right guard: Chadwick, left guard Rogers, left tackle; Murphy, right tackle; Hagen, left end; Bass, right end; Ely, quarter back; Mills, Good win, left half backs; Benjamin, right half-hack; Hinkey, Chauncey, full backs. Yale kicked off. and Wesleyan start ed in at fast ball Soon after the be- ginning Yale lost ten yards for offside l play. Several times the Yale ends missed their man, but after ten minutes play Yale brought the ball down to within three yards of wesleyan’s goal. l Wesleyan held the opposing line val | idHtty, anu Stcui liiS lilt bo1ll hiChtu IL l to the middle of the field. Yale then by a series of short rushes, in which Mills, l Rogers and Hinkey did the best work, worked the ball up to Weselyan’s goal. | Hinkey was pushed across and kicked l the goal Early in the first half a pret- bty tackle was made by Captain Mur- l phy, after the man had gone through three tackles. After the goal one min- ute and forty seconds remained for play. Wesleyan kicked off, and the half ended with the ball in the middle | of the end. l Wesleyan kicked off in the second l half Hinkey returned. Wing caught | but was downed in his tracks.

The halves were twenty minutes each. Judd ’97 was umpire; Smith ’93. Yale, referee, and Greeler of Wesleyan and Lapham, Yale ’97, were linesmen.
