Yale defeated the Springfield Training School at New Haven Saturday, 22 to 0, in the longest and hardest fought game played by Yale this season.

The game afforded the first real test of Yale's defense and the Springfield team, composed of heavy and mature men, repeatedly penetrated the Yale line for gains, mostly through Bloomer, Morton and Roraback. The Springfield backs were invariably stopped, however, by the Yale back-field, Metcalf, Mitchell and Bowman, whose deadly tackling formed the strongest feature of their team's defense. Yale's attack was powerful; the first three touchdowns being made by a fast rushing game. The final touchdown was made by Rafferty, who caught Yale's quarterback kick on Springfield's 2-yard line. The halves were twenty and fifteen minutes in length.

The Yale line-up was as follows: l.e., Rafferty, Moorhead; l.t., Kinney, Andrews; l.g., Morton, Batchelder; c., Roraback; r.g., Bloomer; r.t., Hogan; r.e., Shevlin; q.b., Rockwell; l.h.b., Mitchell; r.h.b., Metcalf, Preston; f.b., Bowman, Hoyt.
