NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 29.-Yale defeated Trinity in the first game of the season here to-day by a score of 2 to 0. There were four ~touchdowns, but Capt. Gordon Brown failed in two trials for goal. In the Yale eleven in the first half was the power full rush line Of which so much is expected, and the back field contained the big and speedy backs-Sharpe, Cooke, Hale and Fincke. That aggregation, though careless and evidently not in good condition, had no difficulty whatever with the Trinity team, but plunged through the line, circled the ends and followed the ball down the field under punts easily. Three of the four touchdowns were scored in that half, the first by Sharpe after a fine run of more thar half the field, the second by Cooke after a run almost as long and the third by Stillman, who blocked a kick and COW cred the ball where 1T fell back of the goal line. Chadwick made the only touchdown in the second half.
