NeW-f1aVen, conn, NOV. u-1ale ana Brown clashed at football to-day at Yale Field Yale win ming by II score of II to in a game of 25 and 20 minute halves. When time called for each half Yale was about to make another touchdown. It was the most sensational football game Yale has played this year. and against team that is per- | haps the best Brown put out. Both defences weak at times, and both | teams on the offence smashed through for large gains.

The WhiStie blew with the ball on Browns Il yard line. Yale had a scarce in the second halt, and at one time the visitors had the ball on her 1O-yard line by rushes and penalties.

    MADE BATTLE OF FOOTBALL Pennsylvania Defeated liar. yard in Fierce Game The Willy Carlisle Indians Overcame West POint-Yale’s Hard Earned Score Against Brown. Philadelphia, Nov. 11.-Pennsylvanla today defeated Harvard in one of the iercest gridiron battles ever witnessed on the Franklin field. The final score was F to 6. Both elevens scored a touchdown and kicked the goals in the first half and the Quaker eleven added q second touchdown in the second hail. It is peculiar coincidence that Lamson, the player over whom there has been so much contention, should have scored both touchdowns for the Pennsylvania eleven. That there was i’ll feeling between the players Of the two elevens was made apparent early in the first half, when Parker, the Crimson center, was disqualified for slugging and again in the second half, when Sheble was sent to the club house for a like offense. Both touchdowns in the first half were due to luck. The numerous changes in the Harvard line up attest the fierceness with which the Pennsyl- vania players went into the play. Five men were so badly weakened that they were sent to the side lines. The Penn sylvania line up remained intact, how ever. There was probably never a was such difference in the two halves. In the first half Harvard com pletely outplayed Pennsylvania and gained ground almost at will, while in the second half the Crimson players made only one touchdown. Both their offense and defense weakened percep- tibly as the game progressed, while Pennsylvania’s attack and defense inn proved fifty per cent. This was prob ably due to the superb condition of the Quaker eleven. The particular star on the Franklin field today was little Levine, Pennsyl- vania’s s left end. It is no eXaggeration to state that he played the most re- | markable game of football ever wit | messed in this city. The day was per- feet for football. The crowd was the | largest that ever witnessed a game of | football in Philadelphia. Not one of l the 22,000 odd seats was vacant when the play began and there were proba- bly, 2.OOO persons standing around the | gridiron.
