Oct. 25.-In an ~ exciting game. full Of good PLAYS. Yale won from the Syracuse uni versity today by the score Of “a to 0. Except in one half back and end rush Yale outclassed Syracuse in every position. Captain Brown, left halfhack, was easily the most brilliant individual player on che field. His end runs were a feature, one especially in which he ran sixty-two yards, and came within double his own length OF scoring a touchdown. about the middle of the first half. over confident because her backs. helped by strong team mass plays. had swept the length of the field twice 20 touehdowns, Yale had for a moment relaxed her vigilant play. A line player held in a scrimmage. and the bali was taken from Yale and given to Syracuse. 1t was their first opportunity. Captain Brown called for his own signaler, clearing the Yale left wing. darted down the field. lodging through one group of tacklers until he was clear through. Glass, running from across the field, gave stern chase and threw himself at the flying figure twelve yards from Yale’s goal. Brown fell forward. landing the BAH over the ten-yard line. Yale here held for downs. but lost the ball again. The Syracuse captain worked the ball directly in front of the Yale goal, only twenty yards away, and gave the signal 60 Fullbaek Morris 10 try a field goal. The attempt was poor and failed to score. Throughout the game Yale’s standard offense was tackles back. With the exception of but a few times, Hogan car ried the ball and made three OF the four tOuchdowns. The halfbacks were sent around the ends only infrequently mass plays against the line being preferred by both quarterbacks- Yale’s defense was improved noticeably and her offense was much stronger than last week

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 25.-Harvard was held to a single touchdown by Brown on Soldiers Field to-day. but. on the whole, played much better football than the team from Providence. Twice the crimson eleven were within striking dis lance OF the Brown goal, but tumble and a mistake in signals prevented additional scoring. On the other hand, Brown was unable to get within forty-two yards OF the crimson goal line and in the second half played entirely on its own side OF the field. Harvard had the ball almost continually and did considerable rushing. Three end runs of Herman, forty. thirty-five and fifteen yards. respectively, and three dashes Of Marshall through broken fields from punts OF twenty-five, eighteen and twenty three yards were the features of the game. The Harvard line was sturdier than in any other game this year, and only once during the game was held for downs. Graydon’s hurdling netted three or four yards as a rule and mass play inside Of tackle was usually good for the required distance. There was very little fumbling, but continual off-side playing by Brown lost that team total of thirty-one yards. game and that was Marshalls try for goal from the twenty-fve-yard line. which failed.
