crippled football team and left TO-
night victorious. The score, to 0, tells
the story of the cadets downfall.
Except for few minutes In the first
half, Yale's goal never was In danger.
In justice 1t must be said, however
that neither was the cadets'-except
once. Still, that once, which followed
an unexpected penalty, brought about
their defeat. Coy had punted to Dean
near the end Of the second half. john
ston, who had replaced Carberry. was
too eager to block the opposing END
and the cadets lost the ball. and fifteen
yards to boot, for holding. This gave
the pigskin to Yale on the cadet 25-yaro
line.
West Point, hitherto fighting desper-
ately, lost heart, and by successive line
plunges Yale carried the ball across
the goal amid frantic ores of Hold
'eml Hold 'em!" from the gray-clad
cadets. Coy made the touchdown and
after the puntout kicked goal.
The Yale full backs name is the only
one figuring in the score. and deserved
ly SO, for 1t was his consistent punting
and plunging that were responsible for
the victory OF the visitors.
AS the coaches had announced, Yale
relied solely on old-fashioned football.

plays. and but one fake play, double
pass from q punt formation. This,
however, failed to gain.

two pretty gains on onside kicks, one
of thirty-five yards. Her much-herald-
ed forward pass, however, was in evil
dence but once, and then Ii nearly cost
a touchdown. Dean had hurled the
ball clearly for thirty yards to wait
ing West Pointer. but Goebel' the big
Yale tackle, jumping high In the air,
blocked the pigs.in.
Nadei, his teammate, picked 1t up
and raced forward for what seemed a
touchdown. However, the referee had
blown his whistle for an offside play
by the cadets. who were given the
choice of accepting 5-ward penalty or
allowing the touchdown. They took the
penalty and Yale lost the score.
