NEW HAVEN, Oct. 21. Yale luck. 'Which has been notable la many Important football battles, came to the rescue of the wearers of the blue in the last half of the fgune with Wisconsin this afternoon, with only a few minutes to play. Richards, the Tale halt back, got the ball on a quick pass ani started around the left end.

He passed the tackles and then began his race down the field. Cochems. Wllmarth, and O'Dea were after him, but Richards swung his arm out WADE. (Yale's Guard.) and dodged In clever style, succeeding In evading the entire bunch and running sixty-five yards for the only touchdown of the game. For some reason Cochems, O'Dea, and the rest of the men tackled high on this one occasion, and thereby allowed their man to get away.

In a measure the play was a fluke, and came at an unexpected moment. It was the only chance Yale had, and the rcore remained I to 0. The Wisconsin boys have no reason tc feel downcast at their defeat, but can look upon it more in the nature of a victory for the West. It was Phil King's brains and Wisconsin muscle and stamina against more than a dozen of the best coaches Yale could muster from all parts of the East. The teams did not put np the game that some of the most expert critics looked for, but, on the whole, the exhibition was a splendid one, especially for the spectators, and gave the people of the East an Idea of Western football.

There is no doubt whatever that Wisconsin outplayed the Yale men in several departments. In proof of which It may be said that he ball during the greater part of the game was in Yale territory, and several times dangerously near the blue line. O'Dea Oelpaals McBride. O'Dea clearly outplayed McBride at the punting game, but was very unfortunate in having the wind straight against blm in the first half, while In the second the wind died' down enough so as to be of no aid to O'Dea when he punted. Had O'Dea been favored with the wind In the first half, there Is little doubt that he would have dropped a couple of field goals.

O'Dea had the. forefinger of his left hand broken while en" route from Hartford to New Haven by the closing of a car door and this bad a depressing effect on him. Coroftock held the center position against the giant Cunha in splendid shape, and surprised the Yale men. Cochems outplsyed the Yale end, and Blair. Curtis, Wiunarth, snd Peele performed brilliantly.

Juneau showed his Inexperience at times by allowing the ends to get around him, but at times he played rood football. McBride proved to be a good man at line smashing and made small gains repeatedly by vaulting over the line. Chad-wick, the right half for Yale, was outclassed and retired at the end of the first half in favor of Richards. It was a good move to substitute Richards, as it was be who made all the gains and finally won the game for Yale. The tackling of Thomas waa a feature of the game.

Flnck was also in every play and put up a brilliant game. There had been much said about how Yale would go through the Wisconsin line, but the Badgers were Johnnie-on-the-spot every smash, an held the Yale men in good style. A few times the Badgers wavered, but they always fought back like tigers, and usually gained their point. There was a great deal of punting, but invariably McBride's punts went out of bounds and never resulted in such long gains as when O'Dea lifted the pigskin. The Yale men now admit that the game which they, at first termed a practice contest was about the toughest proposition they have encountered for some time.

They also admit ll.at Wisconsin played them what should have been a tie, and in the future the eons of Old Eli will have more respect for the Badgers. Yale la Lack to Wla. Had Yale played in the West Wisconsin would have won to a certainly. But as it was they were In a strange part of the country, with 100 rooters against 1,000 for Yale. The Badger had their brass band, and made as much noise as possible.

Yale had Just fifteen tuen appointed to do nothing but lead the rooters. Among the Wisconsin rooters who Journeyed to New Haven to shout for the Badgers were William Barney, West Bend; Judge and Louis Reed, Rlpon; Henry Dodd, James Caldwell, David Plerpont, Senator J. C. Spoon-er. A.

The wind was dead against us In the first half, and prevented any good kicklrg. At times the wind held th ball In the air and drove it back I am sure we. wculd have defeated Vale -aally on Western grounds." Manager Fisher said: "Our boys should have win.

Our boys did cot tackle as low as they should hare done. Wisconsin would bare scored in the first half, had not the winJ been against them." Caatala McBride Talks. Captain McBride said: "We expected a victory, hut did not look for such a hard game. Wisconsin has a strong team, and should win tin Western championship.

O'Dea is a great punter, hut the wind was against bin Phil Klcg said: "Yale Is weaker than 1 expected. We had more than an even chance to win. snd should have scored. The men lost their heads when Richards made that run. It was mere of YalVs luck.

Harvard will defeat Yale to a certainty when they meet. We certainly would have defeated them in the West. Yale's offensive-line play Is strong, but her defense Is nothing extra." Yale was fortunate in winning the toss, and selected the west goal, thus forcing the Wisconsin team to face a very strong wind. O'Dea kicked off, and then the battle was on. Sharpe fumbled the ball, and before he could recover Chamberlain romped down the field and fell on the ball.

Peeie was sent around the right end for a small gain, and O'Dea was called upon for a kick. Pat punted, but the ball went out of bounds, and Yale took it. McBride. who has a great reputation as a line smasher, lost no time in plunging at the center, but he made no headway. After finding the Wisconsin line so strong McBride punted and sent the ball forty yards, O'Dea returning it fifteen.

Peele and Chamberlain each tried the ends for gains, but were repulsed, and Pat was called upon for a gain. Before he could punt Sharpe was through tha CT7NHA. (Yale's Center.) line, but O'Dea dodged, and then kicked for twenty yards. It was a neat piece of work, and even the Yale men admired It. McBride Fonts Oat of Bounds.

McBride punted out of bound's and Cham-cerlaln got the ball. Wisconsin tried a fake "kick, but it failed to work. O'Dea punted into Yale territory forty yarda, and Fine mulled the ball, but by a quick move Sharpe recovered It. Sharpe punted the ball back to the center of the field. McBride and O'Dea irdulgcd in a battle of their own by punting back and forth, but even with a heavy wind against him O'Dea had by far the better of the exchange.

Tiring of these tactics, McBride tried th line again with better results, but the bail kept going back into Yale territory. Then McBride punted thirty yards and O'Dea returned- the ball forty. Wisconsin secured the hall on a fumble by Sharpe and Peele gained fire yards on a fake kick. O'Dea punted high and the wind carried the ball back over fifteen yards. McBride and: Chadwick smashed the lice again, and1 a good punt put It on Wisconsin's twenty-flve-jard line.

It was only for a moment, as O'Dea drove it hack thirty yards. Blair making a beautiful tackle of Sharpe. who caught the ball. O'Dea punted- again and placed the ball on Yale's thirty-yard line. McBride punted forty yards and Wllmarth missed the ball.

Wllmarth was injured, but soon recovered and' proceeded, lie EuflVred greatly, as his ddslocated shoulder pained bim very much. O'Dea got a chance again, as Wisconsin got (he ball on downs. Pat punted thirty-five yards and Sharpe returned the ball ten yards, being downed by Curtis. McBride punted and O'Dea missed the ball, Thomas getting under it and taking the ball on a fumble.

There was another battle between O'Dta and McBride, the Bad-per getting the better of it every time. McBride punted into Wisconsin territory for a tcuchback, but on the free kick the Yale captain made no gain. End of First Half. Time was called with the ball on Wisconsin's twenty-flve-yard line. The splendid showing of the Badgers surprised Yale men, and no better than even money was offered after the first half.

Wisconsin men took a lot of bets at those odds, as the chances seemed to be better for Wisconsin. The Yale men kept aliH when any reference was made to a practice game. After ten minute' rest the teams lined up and McBride kicked off. driving the ball to Wisconsin's twenty-yard line.

After a brief warming-up practice the captains of the rival teams got together with the referee, and the coin was tossed for position. Yale won the choice, and chose the north goal, with the wind in her favor. MALCOLM D. M'BRIDB. (Yale's Captain.) The game was called at 8:05.

This looked like an excellent chance for Yale, but McBride fumbled badly, a Wisconsin uiaa falling upon the bail.

O'Dea then punted to the center of the field, and the Badger goal waa out of danger; but Yale quickly settled down to work, and gradually advanced the ball to Wisconsin's thirty-yard line, where Sharpe, Yale's half hack, tried for a gial from the field. It was a miss, and Wisconsin took the ball ont to the twenty-five-yard line. For the remainder of th first half the ball alternated In the possession of the two teams, and when at 2:51 the iiolf ended neither side had scored.

2L As wss expected. Brown gave Harvard a hard rub this afternoon, and the best the crime on eleven could do was to make a touchdown in each half. The Providence lads played like wild men all through the game, and tried their prettiest to score against and even beat the crimson. The features of the game were the running of Richardson and Brown and the unexpected condition of the Harvard line. The latter held every assault sent at it, and the end of the game found them so much masters of the situation that the close formations used by Brown were practically useless.

Donald and Lawrence, the Harvard tackles. PAT O'DEA. (Wisconsin's Captain.) were opposed to Hapgood and Sheehan, the Brown stars, and tonight everybody Is wondering why people have called Harvard weak and Brown strong In those positions. Certainly the Brown pair were -outclassed at every point, and at the end of the gam they were badly used np, while the Harvard pair were fresh as daisies. The day was fair, hut with a high wind blowing, exactly the same as was the day of the Harvard-Yale game In the fall of '97.

Brown had the advantage of th wind, but mli used it by kicking low Instead of high to get the advantage of th carrying power of th stiff brecse. The line-up: Harvard. 'Position. Brown. Campbell 1.

Oct. 2L Neither the 'varsity nor the alumni could score In the annual alumni game today, but the result wss a virtual victory for the old players, for their goal was never threatened, and four-fifths of the playing was In the 'varsity' territory.

On the other hand, it was only by the moat desperate rallies on the ten and fifteen yard lines that the 'varsity was saved from a beating. The alumni line was absolutely impregnable and the ends were skirted for but short gains. The alumni used the Pennsylvania formations throughout the entire game, and wore the younger players out. Bloomingston's punting was a revelation to the present full backs, and his two attempts at goals from thirty-five and forty yard lines narrowly missed the mark. During the first half the ball did not cross the center line into alumni territory.

Although the 'varsity kicked off, Widman. by a clever trick play, carried the ball fifty yards before being downed. The second half did not change the situation. The 'varsity men seemed to be afraid of the heavy line opposed to them, and their play lacked snap and energy.

Special Dispatch to The Inter Ocean. NEW YORK. Oct. 21. With Coach Sanford In New Haven watching Yale's play, in an ticipation of the visit of the blues here next Saturday, the Columbia 'varsity eleven did not play with the usual snap at times during th game with Amherst today at Manhattan field.

Still th Massachusetts players were vanquished by a score of 18 to 0 In halve of fifteen minutes each. Possibly after Columbia had swept down tb field for a touchdown sfter the first kick-off the local men thought they had an easy task, and for that reason did not exert themselves. But before the first half was over Columbia found that Amherst had a pretty husky eleven, even though It was handicapped somewhat as to weight. In the second half, however. Sanford men awoke, and with terrific line hRting, they tor their opponents to pieces.
