ELI LINE COACH WELLS TELLS MOVIE STORY ON H-Y CONTEST

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Dick Harlew's Varsity eleven invaded the Bulldeg's lair way back in November, but the Elis are still smarting from the 7 to 0 setback which the Crimson pinned on them in the rain-drenched Yale Bowl.

Marshall Wells, line coach at Yale, insists that the following incident actually happened in the game last by Old Eli last fall:

"A Harvard passer, standing only four yards behind the line of scrimmage, completed a teas to a mate on Yale's 41 yard line. The receiver, in trying to lateral, threw the ball forward. This player in turn dashed down the field and was chased out of bounds on the Yale 21 yard line, but the referee in bringing the ball into the field of play put it down on the 16. And not one of the infractions was called."

It sounds too preposterous to be true, but Marsh Wells says that he has movies proving everything he says. There go those movies again. Wonder if he made the discovery while the play was happening or after he saw the films. Anyway, movies show a lot of things. For instance, the Yale line was offside on Struck's failure to convert a point after touchdown in the 1936 Yale game lost by Harvard 14-13. How about playing both games over?
