  YALE In GOOD FORM. of Pennsylvania by a Score of 4S to Moth iug-Heffelfnger Does Some Great Play ing for the Tisitors-Thaycr’s Kicking Was Eeafure. ing for the Tisitors-Thaycr’s Kicking Was a Feature. New YORK, Nov. A.-[Specid,l l-Yaie began her championship football game with the University of Pennsylvania on Manhattan Field this afternoon with great earnestpess. For about 40 minutes her face wore n serious expression and then 1t blossomed out into q, smile. During the second holf of the game Yale men were injured with regularity and gave way to inexperienced players, who had, their first taste of genuine football. This gave Yale good practice, and spared men who will be needed most in the game with Harvard at Springfield next Saturday. In other words. as soon as Yale had tested the strength of Pennsylvania game and dem onstrated her own superiority she took things more easily, so as to run no risks of being materially crippled at the critical time of her football campaign. In the first half Yale made Sc points and in the second only u, her score being As. The University of Pennsylvania did not make a point A week ago Princeton played Penn Sylvania. In the first half Princeton made points and in the second she scored 20. With these performances to act as a guide, there does not appear to be any doubt about the relative strength of Yale and Pri1cetop. The game to-day was witnessed by over 5000 persons, and the most notable thing about them was their apparent lack of enthusiasm: Captain McClung, of the Yale eleven, did not play at all. He watched the game from the side of the field. Barbour, the quarter back, gave the Signals assisted by Hartwell. who played on the end McClung looked pale, but his friends said he would be all righs next Saturday. The PLAYING of Bliss, Mccormick and Heffelfinger was the feature OF Iale’s game. Heffelfinger, the mighty guard, went through Pennsylvania’s line at will, and his interference was especially fine. He seemed 10 be everywhere, and his great strength and knowledge of the game told in 1ale’s against the Yale line Her game went largely into punting. Thaver, her full back, kicks well and was called upon very often. Camp and knipe, her half backs, played with pluck and spirit, but the punting of Thayer was the only thing which took the pig skin into Yale’s territory.
