  VALE SCORES EASY VICTORY OVER COLGATE. Score g to o-WaIter Camp, Jr,for Yale, and Huntington for Colgate the Stars With the execution of a few min utes in the early part of the first peril cd, Yale did not find the Colgate elev- en very stiff proposition at New Ha- ven Saturday afternoon, and the rath- eer patched up team which the Yale coaches sent against Colgate had little trouble in scoring 23 points. Walter Camp, Jr., was Yale’s indi- vidual star. He played the game of his life and has never been seen in better form. He scored two touchdowns, tore off some ratt1ing long runs, and his kicking was superb. Reilly’S work was brilliant, too, his smashing runs netting many yards for the Blue and one of the touchdowns. Anderson also star red with long runs. Francis was in on every play, and when he stopped a man he was stopped up short. For the Colgate eleven Quarterback Huntingdon stood head and shoulders above veryone else on the team. He was dangerous at all times, for he has the speed of a deer in footing it down the field and lodges like an In dian. His kicking up to the time he was slowed up by several hard bumps was pretty, indeed. SWaTtout and Me Laugh1in also counted. It was hard to tell just how stiff an offense Yale has aar present. The Col gate line was battered away to shreds so easily and there was so little stiff ening in it the Ellis simply had to fall into it to make wide gaps. Captain Howe, Philbin and KetchaTn, the three varsity cripples, improved the opportunity by taking an early train to Cambridge to see how the Crimson matched up with Brown. The duties of handling the Ellis, therefore, were turned over to Merritt, who was hurt in the first period, his place be- ing taken by Strout, third string man. There was no scoring in the first pe- riod, the quarter resolving itself into a pnnting duel between Camp and Hunt milton, the Former having the better in the exchanges. On the first play in the second peri od Camp used the straight arm in skirting Garricl1’s end, and, bowling over five players, scored a touchdown, from which Francis kicked goal. On the kick-o Anderson ran the ball back 40 yards and Camp carried 1t 35 yeards nearer the Colgate line. Strout, Camp and Reilly carried it to the 15 yard line and Camp plunged over for another score, Paul kicking the goal. Yale was in trouble at the opening of the third period. In three forward passes Colgate netted Is yards, and then tried an onside kick, the ball roll ing outside at Yale’s yard line, but there was holding and Colgate was snt back almost to the center of the field. Two double passes and some good backfield work soon resulted in another score for Yale, Reilly taking, the ball over. Francis missed the goal On the first play in the final period a fine forward pass from Anderson to Francis netted Yale 27 yards and 8 touchdown, this benng the last score,
