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 12, CARLISLE INDIAN SCHOOL 6.
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. <A clean touch-down
was made and goal was kicked. The
score stood 6-0 against Yale.
On getting the ball from the kick-off
Yale rushed it right down the field
without losing it once, and Chauncey
was pushed over for a touch-down.
He also kicked goal and the score was
tied. Yale repeated her tacticsafter the
next kick-off and by beautiful gains
by Rodgers, the ball was brought to
the five-yard line. From here Chaun-
cey went over for Yale’s second touch-
down and a difficult goal was kicked,
making the score 12-6. The first half
ended with this score which was not
altered during the remainder of the
game.
The second half was marked by per-
sistent line-bucking by both sides, the
ball being kept well in the Indians’
territory. Capt. Pierce of Carlisle fell
back repeatedly for kicks, which were
blocked in several instances by the
Yale rushers. Murphy retired with a
bruised shoulder and Goodwin was
substituted for Van Every.
With but five minutes of play left,
the ball went to the indians on their
twenty-yard line. Jameson was given
the ball for a center play and the two
lines closed up. Referee Hickok blew
his whistle for a down, but Jameson
apparently had not been stopped, for
he broke through, dedged Van Every
and Chauncey, who attempted to
tackle him and _ planted the ball
squarely between Yale’s, goal posts.
“This was the signal for great yelling
on the part of the Indian sympathizers
and for much hissing when the Ref-
eree called him back. Some discus-
sion followed but the decision was en-
forced. The line-up was as follows:

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.

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. John-
son, 1900, Boardman, ’97, Byers, ’98,
Noyes, ’973., J. Wear, ’99, Cheney, °98.,

Work of the Freshman ‘Team.
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.
