YALE BOWS TO BROWN SHOWS USUAL FAULTS Lack of Definite System Is sill Plain in Spite of Shevlin’s Efforts. GOAL FROM FIELD ONLY SCORE MADE Andrews Makes Drop Kick in Third PeriOd-POllard an Active Star. Nyw HAVEN, Nov. 6.-Eveu the pres soce OF shcvl,n could not stave OF dts ,,,er at the Yale Bowl to-day and Brown followed the example of several other smaller colleges by defeating the Blue. 3 to O.. True. the victory or n. team from Providence was not what might be termed overwhelming. the measure OF the Bulldogs defeat being only a drop kick field goal. kicked by Andrews in the third period from the % ward line. but in view of the Bruaonian record this season a defeat OF any kind was bitter enough for Yale. What Shevlin and the horde of other osehes who nave come to drag old Eli out Of the mlre In her hour Of need nay accomplish is still TO be seen. Ger ta!niy the change mas dom little this week. Yale’s offence was lacking IN sfrit: her defence improved a shade. but was still, so terribly weak that chan.cs for the better in it could he soted cy.n as the game progressed. Brown was none too good. but plenty good ,iuugd 10 outplay Yale at every angle Of the game from start to finish, ana with a little iuck might have rolled ~ , much larger score. One .thipg that Yale cohorts looked 70 s.,,.’n to do was to put some systen in the muius operandi of the team u. g., .r’i.

Tuf y..y s., campaign was the thing lookr. fur iu to-day’s game and was hcFir2 Vale started out by using the famous Minnesota shift. a variety OF attack that the blue hae not tried .or a couple OF years. 1t worked like A CHARM. and from the kickoff at the .cuiue ur the game Yale carried the ball sjAty-twu yards down the field by Straight rushing.
