BEARS CONQUER BULLDOGS AS TIGERS EKE OUT VICTORY

Blue Falls 7-0; Princeton Holds Lehigh 7-6

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Yale's vaunted football machine, heralded after the Dartmouth game as the probable Eastern champion, and floating ever since in the clouds of adulation, fell last Saturday with a great disillusioning bump, before a great Brown eleven by a score of 7 to 0.

The Bruins, highly praised early in the season for the smooth efficiency of their play suffered a let-down against Bates last week, while Yale as topping Dartmouth from her three-year throne, and was not conceded a chance against the Blue. But with an irresistible rush the Bears swept the astonished Blue team off its feet, and sent Corn-sweet over with the winning touchdown four minutes after the opening whistle. Not content with the one score, the Providence eleven continued its aggressive tactics, and while unable to tally again, kept the Elis so much on the run as to render them unable to launch a decisive counter attack.

Brown Eleven Stays Intact

The eleven men who started for Brown played throughout the game and every man starred. The line consistently outplayed the Blue forward barrier, and opened big gaps through which the hanks tore off long gains. Randall, Brown quarterback, was the outstanding player of the day. It was he who directed the magnificent opening charge of the Bear, who, with Mishel; successfully engineered the passing attack, and who carried the burden of competing with McGunigle, the Yale punter. All these duties the stocky quarterback performed in a workmanlike manner that stamped him as a dangerous menace to the teams yet remaining on the Brown schedule.

This victory emphasizes the importance of the University's tilt against the Brunonians the week before the Yale game. If Brown should conquer Dartmouth two weeks hence, she would stand near the top of the Easter football sensible, and the game in the Stadium would assume and unwanted crucial aspeces.

Lehigh, crushed by Brown two weeks ago to the tune of 32 to 0, brought a determined team to Princeton and very nearly tied the Tigers, who eked out a narrow triumph, 7 to 6. The winners missed three chances to score when the Lehigh defense stiffened and held for downs. Both scores came as direct results of forward passes and a poor kick for the point after touchdown was all that saved the Orange and Black from being tied for the second time this year.
