Browns defense was very strong all through the game though Yale gained 140 yards. Browns at tack, though tricky and fast, resulted in only one first down in the two halves. Yale’s formation for running back punts Melted eleven by Shevlin, one for forty and one for eighty-f1ve yards.

Hoyt was the particular star of the back field punting up ward of sixty yards when necessary, rum ming back the ball cleverly and playing his best defensive game this year.

Nov. 5.-Yale closed heI practice schedule of football this afternoon by defeating Brown 22 to 0. the score be- ing made by three touchdowns with goals and a goal from placement.

Both the tackles outplayed the men against them and the way they opened holes in the line showed that both are in the best of condition for the first cham pionship game between Princeton next week shevlin at the end played in his old-time form and contributed two exciting runs
