Cornell had no opponent worthy of the

their optimism. The Oberiin game show

New York University played loose and

Army's Strength, Not Yale's
Weakness, Explains Result.
HARVARD DEFENSE STRONG
Princeton Developing on Sound
Lines. Although Slowly, Un-
.. der Roper's Training.

II would be unwise to say the east TO
assume as a result of Iale's defeat sat
urday that Harvard and Princeton Will
find their traditional rival easy prey In
November. The last time that Yale lost
to West Point was in 1904, and in that
year the Blue beat Harvard and Prince
ton by identical scores-12 to DIN each
game. However, the circumstances were
different. A long run on a tumble and
field goal accounted for the Army's vic
tory. while West Point won Saturday in
clean-cut and decisive fashion, it being
game that the better team won. Yale
met an eleven more highly developed than
it's own--an eleven better coached in the
fundamentals, or, at least, that had profit
ed better by it's coaching-and the inevi-
table result followed.
West Point is always a dangerous OPP
ponent for any team, and the result Sat
urday need not be taken as an indica-
ton of Yale weakness Army strength is
probably the true explanation. 1t is not
surprising that il should be SO, either, for
those who saw the gradual development
of the West Point team last year realized
that Lieut.. Nelly and his assistants were
forging a foot ball machine bound to
be dangerous before the season ended.
The fourth year class had a lot of splen-
did material, too, and, what with the vet
Grams remaining, there was no reason to
doubt that the Army this year would have
one of the best teams in its history, a
team comparable to the powerful one OF
1901
Yale has a great deal to learn. and
there is time enough for the lesson to be
learned. The line was stiff and slow
Saturday, charging late and falling to do
it's part in aiding the backs. Corey has
speed and DASH but he is far from being
an ideal quarterback, and neither he nor
Merritt can measure up to Howe Johnny
Kilpa trick, who was such star last year,
failed to realize all the possibilities of the
end position under the new rules. He
played a good game, of course, for he is
a natural foot ball player, with d skill
that amounts to genius, but he will UNI
doubtedly be much better in the big
games. Paul, at tackle, was the best man
in the Yale line.
