Slow Improvement in the Eleven.
Three Interesting Games Played.
—
The football practice during the ear-
ly part of last week was not very en-
couraging, but towards the last of
the week and during the last day or
two the coaches have infused more
life into the team. J. A. Hartwell,
’89S., has been with the eleven every
day and on Monday G. F. Sanford,
who has lately been coaching at Cor-
nell, appeared on the Field. He has
devoted his attention to the center
men largely. Considerable improve-
ment has been made ‘by the line men
in following the ball, a » weakness
which became apparent in the games
against the Indians and Elizabeth A.
Cc. The men seemed to devote their
energies to merely breaking up inter-
ference and thus frequently lost sight
of the cunner. In this way the ends
were too often drawn in and the op-
‘posing backs have circled them. R.
Sheldcn, ’98S., who played on the
squad last year, has been allowed by
his physician to come out and as his
weight is greatly needed at guard, he
may he able to give Murray a hard
fight for that position. Chamberlin
’97S., has been showing up finely at
eenter and although he is the light-
est man Yale has had in that po-
sition for years, he is superior to Mc-
larlaud because of his activity and
determination.
The daily practice has been rather
short as far as lining up against the
College side is concerned, generally
only one half being played, the re-
maining time being spent in signal
drill and formation plays.
W. T. Bull, ’88S., and W. H. Corbin,
’°89, have also coached the team dur-
ing the past week.
YALE 12, ELIZABETH A, C. 6.
Yale defeated the team of the Eliza-
beth Athletic Club by the score of 12
to 6 on Wednesday, October 28th in
the most exciting game played on the
Yale Field this season. The work of
the Yale team during the first half
was admirable, the men playing a
strong offensive game. But in the sec-
ond half this was iacking. During
the entire game, however Yale played
well on the defensive, the Elizabeth
team finding it impossible to break
through the line for any substantial
gains. Elizabeth did not resort to
much kicking, but they relied upon
their two strong half-backs, Smith and
Knapp, for gains around the ends, in
which they were very successful.
The touch-down for the visitors was
made in the second half, the first that
has been made against Yale on her
own field, since the Williams game
last year. Although Yale’s work in
the second half would not be con-
sidered fast football by an expert,
nevertheless the fact that she was
scored against is explainedto some de-
gree by the great strength of the
team which was opposing her.
Smith and Knapp of Elizabeth at
the opening of the second half,
advanced the ball to Yale’s 10-yard
line, and by short plunges it was al-
most carried over. Yale held, how-
ever, on the first down and on the
second threw Elizabeth back for a
loss of seven yards. A few minutes
later Elizabeth worked down again to
the Yale line and pushed Smith over
for their touch-down. ‘The line-up
follows: °

YALE 16, WEST POINT 2,
Yale won from West Point Military
Academy on Saturday, October 3ist,
at West Point by the score of 16 to
2, in a hard fought and exciting game.
In the first half especially was the
playing very spirited, Yale being com-
pelled to make a safety. The crowd
of spectators was one of the largest
that had been present at any game
Yale has played this year, being over
five thousand in number. Yale’s in-
terference showed considerable im-
provement and the ends did much bet-
ter than in the game against the
Elizabeth A. ©., being surer of their
tackles. Rodgers, Hinkey, Benjamin,
Mills and Murphy did the best work
for Yale.
Yale made her score by means of
three touchdowns,
one goal was kicked, and by forcing
West Point to make a safety. Soon
after Yale had scored her first touch-
down, .West Point kicked at Yale’s
85-yard line. The ball touched two
Yale men and finally rolled over the
line so that Fincke in falling on it
secred a safety, counting West Point
2 points. The line-up follows:
YALE 16. WEST POINT 2.

YALE 10, BOSTON A, A. 0.
The most exciting game Yale has
played on the Field this year took place
on Tuesday, November 3d, when Yale
defeated the Boston Athletic Associa-
tion by a score of 10-0. |
With the remembrance of last year’s
tie game played against this team, it
was hoped Yale would prevent her op-
ponents from scoring, which she did,
The game was a beautiful one to watch,
as there was a great deal of punting on
both sides and many open plays by the
Boston team. Yale showed great im-
provement in her play of a week ago.
Chamberlin, Hinkey, Goodwin and
Hazen played the best game for Yale, —
The features of the Boston’s playing
were the long runs around the ends,
which they accomplished through ex-
cellent interference and on one occasion
by a long pass to the left half-back.
After several punts had been ex-
changed and gains of from fifteen to
twenty yards by each team, the ball
was Yale’s on Boston’s 15-yard line.
From here it was rushed over the line by
short plunges through the center for the
first touchdown. Hinkey failed at goal.
The first half ended soon after.
Yale kicked off and on gaining the
ball Hinkey kicked again. B. A. A.
tried the center with no gain, and on
trying to kick, Alport blocked the ball
and carried it over the line. Hinkey
kicked goal and the score stood 10-0 in
favor of Yale. |
_No further scoring was done by either
side during the remainder of the game,
and the half ended with the ball in the
center of the field.
Freshmen Play a Tie Game,
The Freshmen played a very close
and hard fought game with the Iry-
ing Club at Eastern Park, Brooklyn,
on Saturday, October 31. The teams
were so evenly matched that the con-
test resulted in a draw with the score
10 to 10. In the second half the Fresh-
men outplayed their opponents and
had the ball within seven yards of
the Irving Club’s goal when time was
called. Phillips and Francis did the
best work for 1900. The team lined up
as follows: Young, L.e.,; McCormick,
McBride, 1.t.; Marshall, lg.; Wickes,
c.; Leary, r.g., Francis, r.t.; Eddy, r.e.;
Sullivan, q.b., (Captain); Luce, l.h.b.;
Phillips, r.h.b.; Brinley, f.b.

WEEKLY
PALL ATHLETIC GAMES,
The annual Fall athletic games of
the Yale Athletic Association were
held at the Yale Field on Saturday,
October 3ist. An unusually good
showing was made for this time of
the year, and the events were run off
With much dispatch. All the events
were handicap for the sake of the new
men, and the good work done by them
may be attributed largely to Yale’s
new trainer, Mr. Keene Fitzpatrick.
The one hundred yard dash aroused
considerable interest, especially since
Graff, ’99S., in his semi-final heat,
With a handicap of two yards, inade
the very fast time of 9 4-5 seconds. A
strong wind was blowing down the
track which gave the men in the
short events considerable advantage.

M. Graff, ’99S., 2 yards; C. C. Conway,
*99S., 3 yards, second; R. H. Burnett,
*97, scratch, third. Time, 10 1-5 sec-
onds.

men were entered in this event, but
only four ran. It was finally won by

Conway, ’988., 6 yards, second, and D.
C. Byers, ’98, 2 1-2 yards, third. Time,
22 2-65 seconds.

pretty race, the men making. good
time for this season of the year. T.
meaner, *9(S., scratch, won; = S.. M,
Buckingham, ’99, 12 yards, second; B.
B. Johnson, 1900, 6 yards, third. Time,

Football Trophies.
Two football trophies of exceptional
interest have recently been put in the
trophy room in the gymnasium. One
of them is the ball that was won in
Yale’s first Rugby victory from Har-
vard on November 18, 1876, by a score
of one goal to nothing. The other ball
was won by Harvard from the Mon-
treal F’. B. Club representing all Can-
ada, later presented by Harvard to
Princeton, and was won by Yale from
Princeton on Thanksgiving day, 1876,
by the score of two goals to none.

Yale Golf Club.
Interest in golf has greatly increased
this fall and it bids fair to be one O<
the most popular of the college sports.
A golf team of ten men has been
made up from the Yale Golf Club and
two matches have thus far been play-
ed, one with the Brooklawn Club of
Bridgeport, which was won by the
Yale team by 13 holes, and the other
with the second team of the St. An-
drews Club, which was also a victovy
for Yale by 14 holes. The members of
the Golf team are: H. Wilson, ’97; H.
T. Kyeeland, Jr, ‘97; C. Colgate, ’978.;
R. Werry. dr, 7293. (Captain); W. BR.
Betts, 98, (Vice Captain); J. Reid, Jr.,
790° WV, 33; Smaith, *389;:.S.. A. Smith, *99;
H. O. Havemeyer, Jr., 1900 and F. C.
Havemeyer, 1900.
Arrangements are being made for an
intercollegiate match at Ardsley
Casino, near Dobb’s Ferry on the Hud-
son, and Yale, Princeton and Columbia
have agreed to send teams. This will
be the first intercollegiate golf match
played in this country.
The Yale Golf Club has at present
about 60 members and lis in a very
prosperous condition. Huntington Wil-
son, ’97, is president, Craig Colgate,
’97S., vice president, W. B. Smith, ’99,
treasurer and James I. Lineaweaver,
97, secretary. The links which are
situated about a mile from the campus
on Prospect street, belong to the New
Haven Golf Club, but this offers no
objection since most of the players are
members of both clubs. The course is
of nine holes and has already been
made in the very creditable score of
40. a
