Yale university,s football team began wartime preparations today for the games with the traditional rivals Princeton and Harvard. It will be Princeton this week -end and Harvard the next. Both were expected to provide tough competi- tion for the resurgent Ellis, with Harvard the more formidable of the two. The story of the Bulldog and the Bruin: The Yale eleven was lucky in this one, squeezing out a 20–⁠14 victory in the last three minutes. A sudden air raid, a sharp, quick thrust by Ray Anderson, rookie backfield man, into the arms of Endmai1 Bill Moody, spelled the doom of the visiting Bear. Until that desperate heave, the Brown Bear held doggedly to a 14–⁠13 lead which looked more oiminous as the minutes and seconds ticked on. Took Turns Both Brown and Yale turned fum- bles into scores early in the game, and then the visitors took advantage of poor kick & little later to score a second time. The Ellis came back strong through the air and on run ming plays to score again in the third period on Anderson’s plunge, but the point failed. Then, in the final period, with close to 50,000 spectators standing on their feet, Anderson tossed a wobbly pass to Moody and the game was over. Connecticut State College estab- lished s20–⁠0 lead over its arch en- emy. Rhode Island State College, and then collapsed its defenses, los ting 21–⁠20. The Connecticut team appeared superior during most of the, first half. With less than five minutes to go,. the Rams got going, scored 8 touchdown, and then came back in the second half to repeat the per- fornlance twice more.
