Yale defeated Pennsylvania in the Championship game yesterday. Pennsylvania played a strong game and although Yale played her regular team the work was even closer than the score indicates. When time was called in the last half the ball was within a yard of Yale's goal. Pennsylvania would have won the game but for two costly errors of the backs, and slack play in the last ten minutes.
Pennsylvania started the game and in three minutes Thayer secured a touchdown for Pennsylvania from which a goal was kicked. Twenty two minutes later Morrison secured the ball by a muff of Hulme's and ran behind Pennsylvania's goal. Gill secured another touchdown ten minutes later from a muff of Thayer's. Just before time was called Gill won the first earned touchdown for Yale. After twenty minutes play in the second half Morrison made a fine rush and secured another touchdown for Yale. Hulme scored the last one for Pennsylvania a few minutes later. Following is the make-up of the team:
Yale-Rushers: Hartwell, Gill, Heffelfinger, Ferris, Newell, Moyle; quarter-back, McClung; halfbacks, Bliss, Morrison; fullback, McBride.
Pennsylvania-Rushers: Zeigler, Dewey, Shannon, Wright, Bowser, Williard; quarterback, Church; halfbacks, Valentine, Hulme; fullback, Thayer.
