YALE ALUMNI GAMES OF THE WEEK: Yale’s Eleven Pushed—Close Contest with the Indians. YALE 16, WESLEYAN 0. Coming directly after the well-play- ed game between Yale and Dart- mouth, the Yale-Wesleyan game which was played on Wednesday, October 21, was an unpleasant surprise, if not ac- tual disappointment. Two twenty- minute halves were played and the snappy work on the part of Yale, so manifest the week before, was not So marked. Long runs were the order of the day, with now and then an ex- change of punts. Yale’s small score was due in part to the strong defen- sive work by the Wesleyan visitors, the Young brothers showing them- selves especially skillful at breaking up Yale’s interference around the ends. They assumed a kneeling po- sition which enabled them to dodge the interference and then “‘nail’’ their man as he went by. Goodwin and Benjamin showed good speed and dodging in their several long runs, and Hinkey was specially effective in bucking the line. In the tirst half after an exchange of punts and some small gaius, Ben- jamin, by a run of fifteen yards, placed the ball on Wesleyan’s five-yard line, where the ball was held and finally lost on downs. The ball was kicked out of danger but the same tactics were repeated and Hinkey finally car- ried it over for the first touchdown, and immediately kicked the goal. jn the second half, the first touch- down was made by Goodwin, who ran for thirty yards around left end. For the third and last touchdown, Rod- gers and Hinkey advanced the ball twenty yards. Benjamin made a run of twenty-five yards, and Goodwin again crossed the line, by a pretty jump. No goal was kicked. The sum- mary of the game follows: “YALE 16. WESLEYAN 0. Bass, l.e., r.e., Archie Young hodgers, 1.t., ret...

The long looked-for Yale-Indian School game was played on Manhattan Field, New York City, Saturday, Oc- tober 24tn., in the presence of three thousand spectators, many of whom were ladies. It proved the most ex- citing game played by Yale this sea- son. Rain poured down early Satur- day morning and prospects were for- bidding, but by afternoon the sky was perfectly clear and the ground was springy without being slippery. A strong, bracing wind blew from the West and Yale on winning the toss-up, chose the western goal. On the kick-off Capt. Pierce sent the ball to within five yards of Yale’s goal. Mills caught it and was not downed until he had dodged half a dozen men and carried it back thirty yards. Af- ter a few downs Yale kicked and the Indians obtained the ball on their thirty yard line. On the second snap- back McFarland (Carlisle) was given the ball and started with interference around Yale’s left end. The latter was turned in, and McFarland found him- self free with only Chauncey to stop him. He ran diagonally by Chauncey, who missed him on the tackle, and he started full speed for Yale’s goal. Ely gave him a hard race and probably would have pulled him down had he not stumbled. “Phillips; - tas; Brinley, f. b. —_—_—_——_-- > o> _______—_- Divinity School Notes, The Leonard Bacon Club of the Di- vinity School held its semi-annual election of officers on Wednesday evening, October 21.

W Ee K LY ——— ENGLISH STROKE PREVAILS, Sophomores Win the Fall Regatta. Record Lowered 12 Seconds. The annual Fall regatta took place at Lake Whitney on Saturday, October 24th. The weather was clear and the day was ideal except for a strong wind blowing from the West. A large crowd witnessed the races. The Ninety-eight crew, in pursuance of the English method of rowing, shaved down their oars an inch, two days before the race and used a much longer body swing than any of the other crews. These tactics proved very successful, as they won their race easily, and in the finals lowered the record over the course by 12 seconds. The first race was between Nine- teen-hundred and Ninety-nine Shef- Nineteen-hundrid led _ slightly at the start, but a misunderstanding of the course caused a change of pos.- tion and the Ninety-nine Shefficld crew succeeded in winning by a yard. Time, 4 minutes 53 seconds. The second race between N.nety-eigat and Ninety-nine, resulted in an easy vietory for Ninety-eight, who led throughout and finished a lengch and a half in the lead. Time, 4 minutes 3 seconds. The final race between Ninety-eigat ‘and Ninety-nine Sheffield, was won by Ninety-eight by two leng.hs. Ninety- nine Shefleld allowed a handicap of two lengths in this race. Time, 4 minutes, 18 seconds. The make-up of the Ninety-eight crew was as follows: Stroke, D. F. Rogers, 175 pounds; No. 7, -. S. Crane, 168; No. 6, PF. Whitney, fs; No: 6, A. C.-luedyard,; 162;. No. 4, H. B. Wilcox, (Capt.) 160; No. 3, E. H. Brewer, 164; No. 2, R. Hitchcock, 173; bow, J. McLaughlan, 165; coxwain, F. Kernochan, 110; average weight, 167 1-2. The make-up of the other crews was published in the last issue of the Weekly. ee eae Outlook for Fall Track Games. The annual Fall handicap games of the Yale University Track Athletic As- sociation will be held at the Field next Saturday afternoon, October 31st. The following will constitute the pro- 100 and 220 yards dashes, one high jump, gram: mile and half-mile run, ~proad jump, pole vault, two-mile bi- cycle race, mile walk, 440-yard run, 120 and 220 yards hurdles, and an in- terclass relay race. All these events except the last will be handicap. Several of the old men are showing up well in their work this Fall. R. W. Burnet, Jr., ’97, seems to have regain- ed his old time speed in the sprints. E. C. Perkins, °98, and F. T. Van- beuren, ’98, are taking the high hur- dies easily. D. C. Byers, ’98, and G. S. Chappell, ’98S., too, should win points this year in the short distance races. The pole vault and the two-mile bicycle race will be well contested as the men _ train- ing for these events are all good performers. D. F. Buckingham, ’98S., and B. B. Hinckley, ‘’97, will be scratch in the mile and half-mile, re- spectively, and both these races should furnish close finishes. All the fast middle distance men in the Col- lege will compete in the inter-class relay race, which will be the last event of the day. Among the new men who are ex- pected to do well in next Saturday’s races the following deserve mention: E. H.: Owen; ‘97S., H. C. Drew, ’975., I. G. Waite, ’97S., G. Clark, 1900, R. G. Clapp, ’99S., C. J. Gleason, 1900, FE; Cheney, 1300, B. Johnson, 1900, S. G. and H. M. Pointer, 1900, C. C. Con- way, ’99S., and R. M. Graff, 1900. There will be an extra effort this year to put a good University relay team in the field, and with Garvan, cs? Foster, ’°98S., Gerard, ’97, B.

The Freshman football squad has been at work for nearly a month, and is showing signs of considerable im- provement. At the first call for can- didates, eighty-nine men responded, thirty-eight for positions back of the line and fifty-one for positions in the line. The number has now been fre- duced to about thirty. Some of the material has proved to be very good, but the difficulty with most of the men is their lack of ex- perience. The team as a whole has a fair amount of snap and vim, but is very ragged in team plays. The backs especially are slow in getting started around the ends, and are apt to be ‘hindered by the interference. At center, Wickes and Miller are the most promising men. Both prepared for college at Andover, where they gained considerable experience. Mar- shall at guard, is one of the best men on the team. He is quick and runs well, but tackles high and is apt to stay out of plays. Greenway is the most promising man for tackle. He tackles hard and low, and breaks through well. Green, Eddy and Hub- bell fill their position of ends fairly well. They are slow in getting down the field on a kick, and are apt to be knocked off by interference. Behind the line, Douglass is a fairly good man. He runs well but does not fol- low his’ interference. Luce goes through the line well and hard, but is very poor in interference and runs slowly. Phillips is a fast runner, and a hard man to down, but does not fol- low his interference at all and tackles poorly. Brinley, fullback, is a fairly good punter, but is apt to fumble in catching kicks, and is very weak on the defensive. He bucks the line with body too erect. Goodwin, 1900, Durston, ’99S., and Al- len, 1900, started with the Freshmen, but have since been transferred to the University squad. They all came from Andover, where they obtained considerable experience, playing half- back, guard and sub-tackle respec- tively. ee Athletic Calendar.
