J. LLE. Yale Bown, Oct. 2. Yale got its 1937 football season off to a stutter- ing start today with a 26 to 0 vie- tory over the University of Maine, Though Yale was never mildly threatened, the expected Eli touch-; down parade failed to materialize, partly because of pardonable first game mistakes by the blue-jerseyed men but largely because Maine proved to be a good small college team that refused to become disorganized.

As a matter of fact, a frisky little white pup stole the show from the Bulldogs. Appearing: on the scene during the second half, the dog ran all over the gridiron. Seeming to be puckishly aware of what it was doing, the dog had the crowd roaring tts Field Judge Chris Cagle, old Army hero, cheer leaders, Boy Scouts and groundkeepers were out-maneuvered by its nifty change of pace, Even the football players had to stop. No one at the time was giving them the slightest attention anyway. Finally the dog scampered no into the stands and the game went on.

Yale res Quick'y. Yale rscovcred a Maine fumble at tha enemy 46 yard on' the third play of the game and chcKed oil a touchdown in exactly plays. A I "yard end run by Al Wilson ana a 20 yard forward pass from Clint Frank to Johnny Miller brought the ball to Maine's seve nyard line and Frank moved it across from there on a four yard slant through his own right tackle and a three yard run wide around the Maine right end for the touchdown. Colwell's attempted p'acement was wide. Up to this point the game was running true to form.

The complete rout of Maine seemed imminent wh enYale scored so quickly. But that was the only Yale touchdown of the first half. The Elis did not move beyond midfield the rest of the first quarter and the closest they came to the Maine end zone in the second quarter was 38 yards, save two plavs before the end of the half when Johnny Miller fell on E'liot's fumble nthe Maine 28 vard stripe. Yale finally swung into highgear at the outset of the second half, but it took a breath-taking 96 yards runback of the opening kickoff for touchdown by Al Wilson to spark the Eli machine. Wilson, who was a bigger running star than Clint Frank, caught the second half kickoff on his own four Yard line and raced likek a deer almost in a straight line.

At the beginning there was some devastating mopping up by his teammates. Then, at his own 40 yard line, Wilson shot into he open, veered slightly toward the sideline and out-sprinted the last of the Maine defenders to complete' the most electrifying single play of the game. Again Colwell, who was rushed back into the game to make the. try for point, failed to convert After Wilson had streaked 96 vards with their kickoff. the Maine bovs switched their strategy and elected to receive.

This didn't do them anv good either. After two plavs failed to gain, Dyer-punted, outside on Yale's 31 yard line. Frank Finds Range. Clint Frank tried to run and was thrown for a five yard loss. So what did he do but drop back and fire a 35 vard forward pass to Flick Hoxton Yale left end.

who ran 38 vards for a touchdown after making the catch. Colwe'l's third attempt at conversion was good, and the score was Yale 19, Maine 0. The fourth touchdown followed almost, immediately. Joe Stack, a substitute Yale back, intercepted a Maine pass on the visitors' 38 yard line and ran it back to the 31. Frank went ten yards around his own right end.

but the next three tries lost ground, so the Eli forward passing ace faded back and shot one into the hands of Kevin Raf-fertv, who made a jumping catch of the ball just as he sprinted into the end zone, Colwell's placement was good, and the score was 26 to 0. The Yale regulars were replaced at this point, and the reserves never were able to work up enough power to score. Thus it was that the Yale U-am, held to one touchdown in the entire first half and scoreless throughout the final period, rattled off three touchdowns in the span of a few minutes in the third quarter. Clint Frank and some of the other starters did not play at all in the last 25 minutes. That made an appreciable difference, of course, but tven when Yale's first army was on the field the attack lacked vigor.

The Eli timing short of perfection and the blocking was much too indefinite, particularly when Clint Frank was carrying the ba'l. It is also true that Maine played some creditable football, refusing ro become panic stricken even during Yale's third period rush of touch-rtnwns. Most significant, perhaps.

Oct. 2 Flashing broken field mnning by big Dies Holzer ana M.m Daadario, coupled with a neat placement field goat by "Butch" Bottjer, brought the Cardinals of Weslevan a 17 to 6 victory over the Huskies of State this afternoon at Andrus field. It was the second r.e triumph for the Cardinals and the second successive defeat for the Huskies this season. Wesleyan scored on the opening kick-off when Dick receiving the ball on his own 21 vard line romped 79 yards for a touch-xiasm Holzer--was- siven solendid- protection as he headed toward the sidelines and once past mid-field on his jaunt he was out of reach of State tacklers. And less time than it takes to write about it the score was 7 to 0 as Bottjer popped over a perfect placement for tne point after touchdown.

Bottjer Kicks Good. Before the first five minutes -rf-play had elapsed the Cardinals added three more points to their to-tal through the educated toe of I "Butch" Bottjer and their abiiitv to utitzs the breaks of the Connecticut set the stage for Wesleyan 's placement goal scoring tt.ien after carrying the second kickoff back to its own 30 yard line the Huskies were set back 15 vards for ho ding and forced to punt State's defense was strong and punted to Thompson, who dropped the ball and Captain Petherbnoge, of Wesleyan, fell on it on the 21-yard line, Daddario and Holzer pried off a first down to the II and then when the Huskies allowed the Cards to pick up only three yards on two running plays and an incomplete4 forward. Bottjer dropped back and boated a perfect placement goal. Then Connecticut took command of the situation and put on a marc.i of 90 yards to score. "Scot'y" Thompson started the march bv running the kickoff back to the 23 yard line.

Len Bayuk rode ever right tackle for nine yards and State made it a first down on a plunge by Scarchuk. Then Scar-chuk ripped through center for 12 yards and followed with a slant off tackle for six. Jimniv Rankin and marie it another first down and the ball was on the forty, Rankin swung wide around his own right end and then cut back to the 23 yard line for another first down with a neat bit of running. Scarchuk smashed into the line again and Rankin slid around his left end for a nine vard gain and a first clown on Wesjeyan's six yard stripe. It took Scarchuk two p'avs to take the bail across, his first lino cracking trip taking him to the one vard line.

Thompson was rushed into the line-up to place kick the point, aftetr touchdown but his attempt was low. Thompson Fumble. Another break gave Wesleyan an opening and the Cardinals made no mistake about taking advantage of it. Soon after the third period got under way Holzer punted toThomu-son. who fumbled the bail as tried to catch it and it rolled out of bounds te, become the properfv of the Cardinals on their own 47 yard stripe Daddario.

with a hip-swinging, pivoting straight arming run hit outride his right tackle, swims in behind the defensive line and then cut straight down th-e field for 53 yards and a touchdown no one near him as he crossed the goal line. And the reliable Bottjer added the final point. After that neither Wesleyan nor State displayed enough of a sustained attack to threaten a score and as the game neared its end Coach Blott and Christian tilled their machines with substitute m.i-teral. Wesleyan. taking full advantage of the misplays and mistakes of the Huskies deserved its victory- Tha Huskies outscored the winners 8 to 5 in first downs but were outrushett 192 yards to 211.

The forward passing of the rivals was a floperco. State tried eleven, completed a Thompson to Panciera and a Thompson to Peterson duo and had no le -s than five of their passes intercepted. Wesleyan tried three passes and not one was completed and one brought about the unusual penalty of interference with a player eligible to make an interception. Each team flashed one lateral but neither gained more than two yards. Wesleyan was ths better team in blocking but was decidedly thi? weaker in punting.

Winner Over Providencel Hilary Renz Leads Crusaders to Hard Earned: Victory Over Surprisingly Strong Friars Worcester, Oct. 2.

AP.) Outplayed and penned in its own erritory for more than half the game. Ho'y Cross finally roused itself late in the third quarter end smashed out a hard-earned 7-0 victory over a big and surprisingly strong Providence College eleven here this afternoon. Hilary Renz. hard-running halfback who was unsung substitute last fall, finaly pulled the Crusaders out of their lethargy and led them on a wild-whee'ing 80-yard march for the gamc'f only touchdown. Holy Cross required just ten plavs on this spirited drive and Rent.

haking off tacklers all over the lot, carried the ball on six of these. Aided by sophomore Henry Giardi and finally getting help from a line "which had been widelv "outplayed earlier, the big Brook'yn halfback ploughed through the middle, sliced the tacklers and turned the flanks for gain after gain. Finally, when Giardi fumbled on a line plunge, Renz scooped up the loose leather and sprinted the remaining six yards to score. Bar-tolorneo place-kicked the extra potrrt: Until Renz set the Holy Cross attack on fire, Providence enjoyed a wide advantage. The battling friars taking advantage of the Purple's scuffed kickoff at the start, quickly tied together three first downs and pushed to the Holy Cross 12-yard line, but the Crusaders braced and took the ball.

However, the Providence team continued to dominate the play throughout 1 le half. Once the Crusaders got underway in the third period, however, they took charge, and finally finished not only with an advantage on the scoreboard, but also in the Ho'y Cross made eicht first downs to six and gained 196 vards to 7i, but was outpassed 7 vards to 22.

2. (AP.) The Irish the real McCoy Irish sw2pt Notre Dame to a 21 to 0 opening game triumph today over the scrapping Bulldogs of Drake University. There was no one in the battle front named McCoy, but the Irish attack, when it provided points, was powered by young men with the unmistakable old sod names of Nevin Francis McCormick, Jack Gregory McCarthy. Patrick Francis McCartj and Charles William O'Reilly; there was a lot of help contributed by captain Joe Zwers. Joe Kuharich.

Joe Ructz, Andy Puplis and Mario Tonelli, but the boys with the Irish handles won most of the acclaim of the 41,000 spectators who came to see Notre Dame start its 50th gridiron campaign. Notre Dame threatened twice to get its first score of the season in the first period, but was forced to delay the pleasure until early me second, when aerial raids failed. Just before the end, of. the opening period, an 18-yard pass from McCarthy to Zwers and a 14-yard gallup by McCormick. put the ball on Drake's five, from where McCarthy flipped a neat pass to McCormick for a touchdown; Puphs completed the job by place kicking for the point.

McCarthy unreeled the thriller of the day in the third session, smashing through Drake's left tackle and with blockers springing up in front of him. racing 85 yards for a touchdown, after Kuharich had intercepted Pug Manders' pass on Notre Dame's 15. A few minutes later, McCarthy intercepted another of Manders' tosses, and after McCormick had reached pay dirt with a 13-yard jaunt around right end. Tonelli crashed through the Bulldog line for the last score; O'Reilly kicked for both extra points. The Irish might have made a-rout of it as the game Bulldogs weakened, but with eight tough games coming upon successive weeks, Coach Elmer Layden seized the opportunity of looking at his second, third, fourth and fifth teams.

Altogether, he watched 53 players, with most of them doing two and three minute hitches in the final quarter. While the Irish demonstration was hardly a masterpiece, it was adequate for an opening test.1 Drake, threatened seriously only twice.
