B.-Yale defeated the Pennsylvania State College eleven to-day at football by the score Of IL 10 0. The game was the hardest that Yale has been called upon TO play so far this seasoa nd afforded Invaluable practice The play was married by the fact that the ground was muddy and the ball wet and slippery because of the rain that fell before and all during the game. and players were several times compelled to be coptent with small gains becaues they slipped and fell Yale’s goal was not seriously in danger at any time. although two long runs by Smith. full back, gave Pennsylvania courage to hope to score. but neither time did he come near enough to Yale’s goal to give the Wis itors a chance TO attempt a field goal. Late In the first half the Yale team for a few minutes became demoralized and the visitors pushed the ball nearly forty yards by good gains through both tackles and carried ii out from a point dangerously near their own goal. Three times in the first half and four times in the second Yale lost the ball to Pennsylvania by FUN bles and twice these fumbles cost Yale what seemed likely TO be touchdowns. Yale was never held by the visitors, who seemed unable to break the Yale interference when II was well started Glass, as usual. was strong In the offensive play. The first touchdown was made early In the first half by Farmer after a series OF short line plunges and end runs. Ward kicked the goal. 1t was not until late In the second half that Yale could again score. Then, after Metcalf had made a beautiful forty-yard run back OF Smith 5 punt and a good end run by Farmer and Preston, Ward took the ball over. Ward failed OF goal.
