  Yale Wa||ops Lehigh To Open Season in Sparkling Style Score Of 1876 Largest Attained by Eli Since Campaign Of 1885 NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct. g. Moving along the turf and through the air in impressive style, Yale’s football team walloped Lehigh, 1885, in their first meeting in 26 years today in the bowl before 10000 fans The victors unleashed roaring four touchdown attack in the final half to clinch the hard-fought contest. In winning it’s opener for it’s new coach, 31-year-old HOWE Odell, Yale rolled up its highest score since 1885, and if it doesn’t win another game this season at least will have tied its record of the last two campaigns, when it won one of eight games in 1910 and 1941. But the form which Yale dis played in the third and final quarters, after Gall half, should make the Blue hard team to lick this campaign, and even remove it from the gridiron doghouse. Although he didn’t tally himself, Hugh Knowlton of Syosset, N. Y, showed talented pitching arm that connected for three OF Yales scores. A 27-yard dash by Ed Taylor of Columbia, S. c., and a 26-yard run by Will Overlook or River Forest, ILL.,, on an intercepted pass accounted for the victors’ other touch downs. Herb Shoener of Maplewood, N. j.. bulled his way through the middle OF Yale’s wall to account for Lehigh S only score in the second quarter. Knowlton’s short pass to Tim Hopes of East Aurora, N. Y, culminating 56-yard drive, put Yale in front early in the game. A sim liar toss, this time to Ed Town OF Narbeth, Pa, in the third quarter broke the 6-all tie and ended a 65yard parade. Knowlton’s final touch down pitch was 35-yard strike tc Frank Mahoney of Troy, N. Y.
