  YALE WINS ITS FIRST GAME DEFEATS THE TRINITY ELEVEN At HARTFORD BY SCORE OF 10 TOO. Yale Played Fairly Well, but the Team Work Was a Trifle Ragged-Backs in the First Half Played Strong Game-Ben- jamin Did Well, but Retired Early-In Last Half the Blue Failed to Score. Hartford, Sept. 29.-Trinity lined up for her first match game of the season against Yale this afternoon, but all at tempts to score against the Blue We’re points-two goals and touchdown. Two halves of fifteen minutes and ten minutes were played. Though Yale was much heavier, Trinity’s pluck made the sides more even than the disparity in size would seem to indicate. The play was very uneven through fumbling and holding. Trinity was the chief Of fender in fumbling and Yale in holding, but taken altogether Yale made a far better showing that she has made in her first games during the two past years. The game was full of snap and dash. The features of the first half were the play Of Yale’s backs. Yale scored first, as follows: She had kick off and Trim ity fumbled on the 25-yard line. Yale then pushed the ball straight down the field and after three and one-half min utes’ play Benjamin scored a touch down, from which he kicked a goal. Benjamin soon afterwards retired and Hine took his place. Yale’s second touchdown was scored by Hine after five minutes more play, but no goal was made. Most of Yale’S gains were made through the guards, who were clearly outplayed throughout. Yale’s backs made several long runs back on punts, the prettiest being Ely S run of so yards. Trinity confined her self throughout the first half to kick ing game. In the second half the composition of Yale’s team was considerably changed, new sets of backs being put in, but they played with none of the dash with which the others did; in fact, the play was largely in Yales territory during this half. Trinity made several small gains and was continually aided by the holding and off side play of Yale’s forwards. Once Trinity got the ball for the hold ing on Yale’s 12-yard line; she failed, however, to advance it, and Woodle failed in a pretty try for a goal from the field. There was no scoring done by either side in this half and the final score was Yale, 10; Trinity, O. The teams lined up as follows:
