  SPRINGFIELD EASY VICTIM TRAINING SCHOOL NO MATCH FOR KALE ELEVEN. Moved Down by Score of 29 to O--Got First Down But once-Showed Poor GeneraIship In Punting-Yale for First Time Makes More Than Six Points in First Half--Forbes the Star. Yale again showed her fine form and strength yesterday by defeating the strong Springfield Training school eleven at Yale field by a score of 29 to 0. For the first time this season the blue warriors managed to score more than once in the first half, rolling up seventeen points where hitherto they have had to be satisfied with six. In the second half they crossed their op- ponents goal twice. Springfield played a plucky game, but were two light for such heavy material as Yale. The Training school only got first down once, and at no time held Yale for the fourth down. The men from Springfield might have held the score down by at least twelve points had they used any kind of gem eralship. At the opening they lost the choice of goal on the toss, and were compelled to work against a very strong wind. Yale took advantage of this by bunting, but Springfield, when the goals were reversed, after the first touchdown lost the ball several times on the fourth down rather than punt even with the wind. Yale put up a strong game from start ito finish. Captain Shevlin at end. showed his old time brilllancy, but the bright and par ticular stars were Forbes, the old Wes- leyan player, who seemed to be every where, and Jones at quarterback. who went in as usual in the second half Yale put in many substitutes in the second half. Springfield twice was penalized three yards on her five yard line for off-side play, and lost thirty yards at other times for the same of, fense. Yale’s last touchdown came aft CT the whistle for the end of the half was sounded, but it was allowed, as the ball was in play. The line up: Springfield Yale Positions T. s. Beebe, H.
