SCORED IN a MINUTE
YALE'S ATTACK TOO STRONG FOR
WEST POINT.

WEST POINT October 2s.-Yale's foot
ball team defeated West Point today by
| the score of 20 to o. making three touch
downs and one safety. Yale's large score
! was made during sudden spurts, in which
the heavy eleven threw West Points de-
fense aside with apparent ease and crossed
the gridiron for touchdowns in a few
! mass plays. Aside from these few minutes
play, the game looked quite promising for
West Point. Toward the close OF the game
Yales attack strengthened and sensational
| runs were continually made The game
was practically ended before the time limit
! by hundreds of enthusiastic spectators
running out upon the field after Yales first
| touchdown had been made on a forty-five-
yard run by Quarterback Jones.
Both elevens used massed play almost
entirely. Frequently a group of four
five Yale players broke through West
Points defense and started an exciting race
toward the army's goal for gains Of five
and twenty yards. At such times the SOL
dfers' tackles were dragged along the
ground by the Yale mass and stopped its
progress only by throwing themselves on
the ground to be trampled on. thereby
tripping their opponents and breaking up
the play.
Touchdown in a Minute.
In the first minute Of play Yale scored
a touchdown. Beavers Of tho army re-
ceved the initial kick-off, and In running
back with the ball threw himself so fiercely
against the Yale tackles that he fell limp
on the ground and dropped the ball. Yale
secured the tumble on the armys 30-yard
line, and in three plays pushed Left Half
back Needer over for q touchdown, Eeeder
also kicked goal.
The army then kicked or and on Yale's
return punt took possession OF the ball in
midfeld. Again West Points tandem. two

fales right guard. Tripp, with such force
that the opposing line was backed from
mid1eid to within two yards OF It's own
goal line. Yale supporters had given up
hope of preventing the touchdown when
their team saved its goal.
The Army menaced Yales goal during
nearly all the remainder of the half. once
attempting a drop kick from Yale's 4J-yard
line, and later place kick from a free
catch in midfield. Both kicks missed the
goal by short distance. The half ended
with the score to q in Yales favor
The West Point team showed the effects
OF Iale's pounding when the second half
began: Yale carried the ball soon after
the kickoff to West Points fifteen-yard
line, where the army team secured II on
downs The ball was passed to Beavers
10 attempt run around Yale's left end
but the West Point half back had only
started when Captain Shevln of Yale run
ming from the opposite end of the Yale
line, came up behind the army's flying back
held, and. throwing his arms around Beav-
line.
Scored a Safety.
Other Yale linesmen had broken through
by this time and their impact threw Beav-
ers still further back. allowing Shevlin to
tackle him for a safety behind the army's
goal line. Yale's next score was a touch
down by Veeder.
Near the end of play West Point secured
the ball, and instead Of attempting to buck
Ya.e's line Captain Gillespie ordered a
punt.
Quarterback Jones of Yale caught this
ball near midfield and sprinted back with
the ball toward the army's goal. He ran
straight at the center OF the army advanc-
ing tackles, from whose clutches he was
saved by running dives of his team
mates, who thus opened a passageway for
their quarterback. Jones made the touch
down. making the score 20 to o.
