Yale Consolidated Unable to Score Academy Closes Season With ii to Victory.
 In the kind of weather that only football rises superior to, the Acad- emy eleven closed it's very successful season with a game on the campus Thanksgiving afternoon, in which the Yale Consolidated team was defeated, Il to 0. It rained continuously through out the two halves of 20 and 15 min utes. but hundred or more enthusi- asts were on hand with umbrellas and saw an interesting game in which the staying powers of the Academy eleven good headwork in their plan of cam paign and clever booting of the leather by Moves were the prominent features in winning against Yale Consolidated. Besides providing a slippery field and ball, the rain cut down the elev- en that was expected to line up against the Academy, as several of Manager Arthur Robinson's players stayed in New Haven. To fill the gap Bill Frisbie, Captain McNamara of the 1907 team, Nick Walsh and Clint Lane were mustered into the Yale Consoli- dated lineup.
 On the winning side, Captain Galli- van was a lively performer in every
 
 game, Hendrick chose his plays with good judgment and did some nice tackling, Steve Ricketts pulled down many runner in the open, Gebrath got in some timely tackles, and the good right foot of Moves gradually drove back the Yale Consolidated till the Academy got chance to shoot across the goal line twice in the sec ond half.
 nf tba losaro ran% To,,o A,,hrav made several good gains, but the slip pery footing made long runs difficult. Moore, the other halfback, proved strong runner and hard man to down, and Frisbie did the heavy line boring in fine style, once going through for 15 yards. McNamara got some pretty tackles.
 etts kicked off to McNamara, who was downed by Swan. Yale Consoli- dated then. started an attack, using Moore for good runs and Frisbie for bucking the line that for a few mo- ments swept the Academy off their feet. Swan blocked kick and Walsh saved the ball for the Academy. Yale Consolidated regained the ball. when punt by Moves went into the back of an Academy man. A march up the field by short gains put the ball on the Academy 10 yards line. where the Academy took it on downs. Moves and Murphy then took up a kicking duel, in which the high punts of the Academy man for from 20 to 30 yards, perfectly covered by Gallivan. Ge- brath and Hendrick, gradually forced Yale Consolidated back till the ball was in position for Hendrick to try a kick, which went wide of the goal posts. The half ended without a score by either side.
 A feature of the half that the spec tators enjoyed was to see Frisbie and Moore sloshed around in the mud near the Yale Consolidated line by the Academy tacklers.
 In the second half Murphy kicked off for Yale Consolidated McNamara tackled Moves so hard that the Yale Consolidated man had to take few minutes to recover from the shock. There was a further exchange of kicks and the Academy secured 8 position well up towards the Yale goal, when Isbister recovered an attempted for ward pass to Gallivan that Morse and Aubrey broke up. On another ex- change of kicks, Ricketts recovered the ball when Aubrey fumbled it on the Yale 20 yard line. The Academy slipped over an onside kick and Swan fell on the ball about an inch from the Yale goal line. The whole Acad- emy eleven hauled Mccormick between left tackle and end for a touchdown Gallivan's punt was muffed by Rick etts, losing the chance to kick for goal and the score stood. Academy 5, Yale Consolidated 0.
 Yale Consolidated received the ball on the next kickoff, holding it for a number of downs about the center of the field through some good luck in regaining the ball in the scramble aft CT it had been kicked and fumbled. Pendleton was hurt in tackling Hen drick fiercely and needed the two min- utes' leeway to recover. Academy worked a forward pass for yard gain, Moves to Hendrick, and then forced Yale back with the kicking game, til, in a grand scramble, for the ball on the Yale 30 yard line, Moves scooped up the ball and scooted over for the final touchdown. He also kicked the goal, sending the Academy points up to II. On Murphy's short kickoff. Ricketts sized up the play and fell on the ball. but the whistle closed the game just after Moves had punted to Yale Consolidated's Is yard line. The lineups:
