The Ellis meet Pennsylvania at the Bowl Saturday and a week of hard scrimmaging was in prospect for the team. The varsity was in for consider able work on the simple mechanics of football-ball handling and tim ing. Both these Fundamentals were exhibited In a listless manner by the Yale team against @ scrappy, but light Maine aggregation. The home team scored in the opening period when Maine back fumbled. Al Wilson’s 20-yard sprint, @ pass to Johnny Miller, and a buck by Captain Clint Frank furnished the score. Not until the opening kick-off of the third period did the Els score again. Then Al Wilson took the kick-of on his five yard line, threaded his way through the entire Maine defense and into the clear for @ touchdown. A pass to Flick Hoxton, left end, provided another score @ few min utes later, and another aerial to Rafferty, @ reserve wingman, con- cluded the touchdown festivities for the day. Dave Colwell’s toe played 500 ball, accounting for two of four points after touchdown.
