Yale's failure to defeat the West
Point team on the latters gridiron last
Saturday afternoon has caused an end
less amount of speculation among the
undergraduates of the university and
has also been prolific of several confer
ences among the Yale coachers. Yale
had three distinct cases of "hard-luck"
in the game and they very evidently
had a material effect upon the result.
Glass was called off side" when Yale
had the ball within a few yards of
West Points goal; Ward, on another
occasion, fumbled when within short
distance of the Cadets goal and then
the whistle at the end of the first half
blew just in time to prevent Yale from
sending man across the line. But
the score stood to at the end of the
first half and was not changed in the
second half. West Point outpunted
Yale in the second half and what would
have happened had Captain Daily of the
Cadets been in the game can only be
conjectured.
1t is safe to predict that. as result
of the game last Saturday, Wilhelm
will not be played at end again unless
he improves vastly. He did his best
and played an earnest game but it was
not the game required. The Yale
coachers are not disheartened by the
outcome Of the contest. They learned a
great many things in reference to the
weak points in the Yale team and in
the work of the individual players. The
practice during the next two weeks
will be of the stiffest variety imaginable
and every effort will be made to over
come any and all existing weaknesses.
In last Saturdays contest Ward scor-
ed for Yale after Metcalf had made a
sensational run of fortyfive yards. A
goal was kicked and the score stood 6
to in Yales favor. This occurred be-
fore the game had progressed ten min
utes of playing time. Graves kicked
OFF for West Point. Yale attempted to
return the kick and the ball was block
ed by a West Point end, The Cadets
worked the bali from Yale's five-yard
line across the goal lire, Torney scoring
and then kicking the goal: The-Fest of
the game was sort of see-saw affair, the
ball exchanging hands at intervals and
both teams making a good kick occa-
sionally. West Point punted frequent
~ In the last half and played strong
defensive game, while Yale was weak
on the offensive at a time when the
Yale spirit of fight would have won
the game. The line up:
