Up from their midst leaped Forbes who caught tbe ball and in an instant placed 1t on the Award line.
 Tn rose the Yale hosts, with cries for a touchdown, while the Crimson side was hushed. Roome. who had replaced Knox. was sent to smash the Crimson line. His first try gave two yards, and the next time he was shot over wlth the whole team dragging and pushing him. That four yards showed what Yale could do when hungry for the score so close at hand. The kicking bG a goal was an easy thing for Vee- der
 In the early part of the game New hall tried a drop kick; 1t was blocked and Forbes got the ball.
