  YALE DEFEATS WESLEYAN -FOUR TOUCHDOWNS SCORED ON THE MEIHODISTS. Yalc’s Work Still Not Up to the Standard --Interference Yesterday Was Poor – Inglis Compelled to Retire Early in the Game--VfsitOrs PiOughed Through Tom johnson. Tom Johnson. Yale defeated Wesleyan at the Yale field. yesterday afternoon by the score Of “a to 0 in two fifteen minute halves and although the score was fairly large the work of the New Haven men was not up, to the standard The work in the line is still ragged and the men don’t seem to play together like Yale teams have in past years. Wesleyan was weak in few spots yesterday n and Yale took advantage of these faults and made most of her gains through y them The ends as usual in the team Y from Middletown did fully as good work as the Yale ends and Yale found trouble in getting around them. A few times Chadwick ran half way across the field in an attempt to circle the end and as he happened to be a fastGr runner than the man on the end 4 bf the line he made good .gains. This might be a good showing against Wesaeyan, but when Yale lines up against columbia, Princeton and Harvard that game will not be so successful. The interference on the end plays is not near up to the standard and time and again 1t was broken up. AS soon as u the men strike the opponents line the interference goes to pieces and the run ner is grabbed by big Glass, Olcott or Goss and pulled along for a few yards II This trick worked well yesterday and II one time Wilhelmi was pulled over the zine for touchdown and his arm was NEARLY wrenched off Hart was picked N up three or four times ON end plays and Ia #Garried for his distance, as his inter- A@RI Ference was split up almost the second ne received the ball. Wesleyan had the pail but once in he first half and failed \ TO gain the necessary five yards, but in 4! the second half things changed. They gained first down on Yale three times and held Yale for downs once The k>team from Middletown suffered the u greatest kind of loss when their cap tain and best player, Inglis, was COM Y PEELED to leave the field in the middle l of the first half owing to a wrenched knee. This player is recognized as one N OF the best line hitters in the country 1and as a punter and general all-round man he has few superiors. In the sec ond half If he had been in his place in the back field the score might have been different as the Wesleyan ‘backs plunged through the Yale line for good gains many times, and with Ingis bat tering away at the line the chances are that Wesleyan would have come pretty near to, if not scoring. Olcott took Glass place in the second half and johnson took OIcott’s. The Wesleyan backs found Johnson essay for time NAnd made twelve yards through him before they gave up the ball Swan was at the right end of Yale’s line at the start, but in the middle of the sec lDnd half Rafferty, took his place. The 4 fight for this place will be very keen a before the season ends, with the v4rrners slightly in favor Of Rafferty, u. The same team with the exception of T Swan took the field yesterday in the first half that has played together \ since the season opened and it looks as though they were the pick of the asquad. Wesleyan kicked off and deSaulles | caught the ball. running it back ten yards before he was downed. Hogan hit the line in the tackle back formation ‘g for fifteen yards and Hart went between left tackle and end for ten more rChadwick gained five more and here the visitors held we’ll They held for three downs but on the fourth Yale gained her distance. By a series of steady plunges into the line Yale forced The ball to the five yard line and Hogan was showed over for the first touch down in four minutes of play. Olcott kicked an easy goal. Score Yale G. Wesleyan 0. DeSaulles caught the kick off and by beautiful run brought the | ball back twenty yards. Ingls was | hurt and three minutes passed before | she was able to take his place with the | team. He limped badly and later when | The stopped deSaulles he was almost Knocked out. The next time he downed | u man on Wesleyan’s fifteen yard line, | he was taken from the field and weeped | as he took his seat on the side lines. | The ball was rushed to the three yard | line and held there for three downs The tackle back formation was again worked Wilhelm taking the ball.

Olcott again kicked the goal Yale was penalized in this half for off side play three times and Wesieyan once The third touchdown was made by Gloss and the first half ended with the score Is to in favor of the Blue.

  YALE’s VICTORY HARD-FoUGHT Wesleyan Put Up n Strong Game. But Did Not Score. NEW HAVEN, Oct 9.-Yale won her fourth consecutive victory this fall today, defeating Wesleyan “a to 0. The score in no wise indicates the playing, for IT was by the hardest kind of football that Yale was able to finally wrest four touch downs from the Methodists. The game opened in hot form. Yale played in a quick, snappy fashion, far different from other exhibitions given in the field this year. Only two fumbles were made during the game by the Yale team, and while each of these was a loss for the Blue. on neither occasion did Wesleyan get the ball. The tackle back plays of the Ellis were used almost to the exclusion of any other today, and almost without exception the required number Of yards was gained. Hogan was not alone in the tackle play. Goss being used frequently and do ing good work. The first few plays of the first half found Yales line very ragged and uncertain. There seemed to be no steadinoss whatever to the men. and 1t was with difficulty that Yale held Wesleyan for downs. Two or three end plays, aided by tackle formations for the most part carried the ball down the field for Yale, and on a tackle play Hogan crossed the line. on the second kickoff DeSaulles got in a furtv-yard run Mass plays again advauced the pigskiu to the ffteen-yard line, where on a tandem play through cen ire, Wilhelm landed the ball on Wesley ans one-yard lire, from which he vas pulled over for a touchdown by Cass On this play IngIis, the mainstay OF the Wesleyan team. was injured in the knee and obliged 10 drop out of the game. Wnhelmi caught the kickoff, and scarcely were the teams lined up before Wesleyan was given ten yards on an off-side play This was the nearest the ball came 20 the Ellis goal at any time during the game Olcott punted out to Yale’s forty eipht-yard line, and on the next play Wesleyan returned it to Yale’s ten-yard line where De Saulles caught ii and advanced. aided by clever Interference, to her thirty-five-yard line. Goss carried the ball over for the third touchdown on a centre play with the tackle forma tion. The half ended one minute after the kickoff The second half saw only three new men in the Yale line. Scott was played in Chadwck’s place Ferguson took Charlie GOulds place at left end, and Johnson was put in for Olcott, who was shifted to right guard.

  WORK ON TIE (RIDIRON Three Leading Colleges Won Their Games Yesterday. Yale Had an Easy Thing With Wes- Ieyan-Harvard Defeated Amherst in the Second Princeton Had Good Practice With the New York Uniyersity-Results of the Other Games and Notes Taken On the Coach Lines. New Haven, Oct 1O.-Yale ran up a total of ‘twenty-four points against Wesleyan yesterday afternoon and shut out the visitors. The first half was fast one, but ill the second there was much loose play on Yale’s part, que 70 the presence of substitutes. Wesleyan, on the other hand, played a better team game in the second half- lnglls was injured and taken out before the first half closed. Yale’s big rush line had strong attack. and Wesleyan could form no defense against the line bucking or Wilhelmi and Chadwick, the plunges of GOss and Hogan in the tackles back formation, and hardly any against the Interference for Hart on end runs. Dig gains were the rule of the first half, Yale running up eighteen points. In hold the Yale line twice for downs, and when thus in possession of thesball made several notable gains through Johnson at left guard. He was the weak spot in the line, due more to ill., perience than strength, however. Calder’s punts gained but little for Wesleyan, as he sent them out of bounds. Two rusheS, even when Wes- leyan made respectable gains, seemed the limit of their attack on the line. At times three or four of the team would be on the ground, used up by the fierceness of the play. The inter ference by, Yale’s forwards was better than in any previous game. and the speed of the first set of backs was an improvement Thompson and Corsca- den for Wesleyan distinguished them- selves.
