In a series of strong rushes directed against Chica- go’s center McBride carried the ball over the line for Yale’s third touch- down, the last one of the game. Cad- walader’s third attempt at goal was un- successful. Score, Yale, 16—Chicago, 6. The ball was in Yale’s possession on Chicago’s forty yard line at the call of time. | _ During the second half, Yale made little attempt to increase her score, but played a kicking game, and the backs were given an opportunity for practice in defensive work. The only notable feature of the half was a re- markable run of thirty yards by Draper unassisted, through almost the entire Yale team. At the close of the game, the ball was on Chicago’s twenty-five yard line. The team lined up as follows: YALE CHICAGO. A...

No full-back has been developed who | has shown much ability in kicking, and here is one of the weak points of the team. The end interference is the best feature of the play. The line is not strong and the backs are only fair. One of the greatest faults of the team is the tendency towards off-side play and holding, which is probably due to lack of experience.

The first was a twenty minute half but neither side scored, although Hotckhiss out-punted their opponents. All the scoring was done in the second half. Davis scored a touchdown for Hotchkiss from which Goff kicked a goal with only. three minutes more to play, Wear immedi- ately after this made a touchdown for the Freshmen but Dupee failed to kick the goal, leaving the score 4. Demming, Miller, Goff and Shaw played the best for Hotchkiss, while for Yale the work of Coy at end and Wear at half was satisfactory. The Freshmen played poorly on the defensive and did not seem to be able to break up the formation plays of Hotchkiss.
