tough proposition harry legore stars lehigh playing a good defensive game held yale to two touchdowns on saturday at new haven harry legore by a spectacular run of 63 yards made the first score of the afternoon and bob bingham ac counted for the second and final touchdown of the matinee both goals were missed and the final score was 12-0 although the result of the game was not as close as that of last year it shows that lehigh has a very good team yale was a heavier team and tad jones has instilled i the yale spirit in the men lehigh also was not primed for the game as they were last year — the game being taken the same as an early game coach keady having his eye on the penn state and lafayette games looking at the game from this angle the contest was not a de feat but almost a victory lehigh could not penetrate the blue line and relied mostly on for wai'd passes many of these were '■>■■•■ rty completed and the brown and white had their opponents un easy during the entire game how ever only two out of fifteen reached the outstretched hands of a lehigh man lehigh s one chance to score came at the middle of the second period when an intercepted for ward pass netted 30 yards and placed the ball on yale's 10-yard line here a series of forward passes were tried but they all lehigh s line which is the weak part of the team held well at dif ferent times in the struggle and several times the elis were forced to surrender the ball on downs the most consistent gains by yale were made on split tackle plays which seemed to bother lehigh the brown and white team to a man played in a highly creditable manner tate played the best game of the afternoon in the opinion of an impartial spectator he was in every play breaking up interfer ence getting the man with the ball or making a hole for a lehigh man to go through brunner cheno weth and pursel also starred brunner s handling of the ball when throwing forwards was good although he sent the ball a little too far for the end men to get legore played the splendid game which was expected of him in his 63 yard run he bowled over seven le high men bingham and jacques also put up good exhibitions all in all the yale backfield will be a hard proposition for any team to the game started by lehigh kick ing off against a strong wind to yale's 35-yard line after an ex change of kicks yale marched the hall steadily down the field to le high's 8-yiard line bingham then hit left tackle for 7 yards but fum bled the ball on the 1-yard line brunner recovered the ball and halsted kicked out to lehigh s 30 yard line at the start of the second period yale was held for downs lehigh after hitting the yale line twice kicked to smith on yale's 37-yard line on the very next play le continued on sixth page the brown and
