Pennsylvania State College Eleven Put Up a Game Fiqnt NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct. 18-Yale defeated the Pennsylvania state college eleven today at football by the score of II to 0. The game was the hardest that Yale has been called upon to play SO far this season, and afforded Invaluable practice. The play was marred 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 content with small gains because they slipped and fell. Yales goal was not seriously in danger at any time, although two long runs by Smith, fullback, gave Pennsylvania courage to hope to score, but neither time did he come near enough to the Yale goal to give the visitors a chance to attempt field goal. Late in the first half the Yale team, for few minutes, became demoralized, and the visitors pushed the ball nearly forty yards by good gains through both tackles and carried it out from a point danger ously near their own goal. Three times in the first half and four times in the sec ond Yale lost the ball to Pennsylvania Yale what seemed likely to be touch downs. Yale was never held by the Wis itors, who seemed unable to break the Yale interference when it was well start ed. 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 ne punges and end runs Ward the second half that Yale could again score. Then. after Metcalf had made beautiful forty yard run back of Smiths punt and good end run by Farmer and Preston Ward took the ball over. Ward failed of goal. The ball was in Yale’s possession on Pennsylvania tenyard line when the half ended. Summary: Yale. Positions. Pa. State. Hare, G. Ward. L. E........ .Beisicker Shevlin, Hamlin. L. T........
