The score OF to 0 was the smallest made in years against the Massachusetts boys. Twice during the game fales team work went to smash, and twice Am the first stage fright the Amherst played heady and aggressive football and showed promise of an extremely strong eleven. Yales only touch down was made by Chadwick after six minutes of play. and the Blue line could not advance again for scoring distance during the game. The Yale team will get a severe shaking up because of to-day’s fasco.
