West Point. y. z. Oct. 2I-By outpunt-
,ng Yale and solving the famous Mime
.ot, shift that brought the football so-s
~ I'll out Of oblivion one year ago, the
eleven Of the Army won most creditahle
v--orv here this afternoon by score OF s
no Ysle's much heralded line proved no
match for the Army forwards. either Of
,snsively or defensively. ana IN the back
e.,ds the Army again showed 10 sdvan-
tare. the men working together in splendid
,ryle and the plays going off with more Of
A.. rush and snap. Then. TOO. IN the matter
~ interference the Army backs showed
superiority.
yale's hacks showed the effect Of not
hsy,-g worked together and the efforts 10
advance the taIl were individual 10 large
extent There was none Of the oidtime
get together force that has mace Yale
,rcb mower in intercollegiate football
since its earliest DAYS.
4 better ell around kicking game was the
,o-v and there were three reasons for this
.,na-io-ifv. In the first place. Dean. Of
west Point. used the spiral punt-a most

tbe kicks far easier 20 handle as the case
proved. ,-..-.s-
In me second place the Army forwards
had little trouble in breaking through the
Vale line. thereby hurrying Spaldlns ana
Freeman and twice blocking KICKS thaI
rasu1tad IN giving the ARMY chances TO
core one og which was quickly grasped
.arlv fin the contest The other oppor-
,,,,i,,. and far better one, was lost be
ca,,sa Of the overanxlousness Of Devore at
Ief+ ,actIe I'm holding when the ball was
rt Yales goal lire
In the third place. Hyatt and Dean were
t.~ s-nar,or 10 any Of the men Yale used
a., running back punts Hyatt. especially
sborsd that he IS one OF the most dan
,s-ops man In open field running to-day.
yale's team was weak in covering us

rrrr field. 10 seems but Just 10 say
ry~st- certainly would have created con-
,i6s-ablv more havoc than he did. HyalI

t-., mastered lodging in the open HELD
eorssouently they were greatly hahui-
,,-,e5 to-day and were unable 70 get
,.-5sr way quickly on account Of the slip
perry field.
From the beginning until the end of the
rar-a the two elevens kept up an lncessanI
rrrtine duel so mat it was difficult 70 get
:, idea oS the potential rushing strength
% either. West Point got her opportunity
-fs-fv IN the game. when she partaHy
blocked one If Spalding's punts near the
ri5a lines and recovered II within thirty
cards Of Yales goal line. Here Hyatt used
keen gare-alship. for instead Of sending
,5e NAV against Tales left wing and
,ov-a~5 rre middle OF the field. in order 10
,lsre the ball I'm such a position that
s-or lfol, could he resorted 70. n neces-
sa-y. he appeared 10 waste one r"sh Oy
,sirg the o15 fashioned delayed pass down
the side line IN order 20 get the oal ou'
q, hounds when the run was completed.
Although this resulted in no gam Wnen
,he hall was brought in BOUNDS htteen
ra~5s for the scrimmage, Hyatt played DE
-@se-ar stroke The Blue. realizing tnat Ihe
4rr7v had only TWO rushes In wAlch 10
pain the necessary ten yards, placed al
faifL I'm IFS strong line and well renowned
eofsnca IN check any gains. and again pre-
rs-sd FOR an attack upon its left flank.
i5va-t. evidently realizing this. sent an
nthe~ rl7v down the short side ~ the field
ever the shoulders of that aggressive young
Army tackle. DevOre. and, catching Aale
hv surprise. gained the necessary distance
The, HYATT. having the Yale men sorely
rerplexed sent Dean on wide run out
side tackle. and Dean. seeing Yale's de-
fence mass I'm that direction. suddenly saw
biz opening a. tackle. seized his one op-
por-untv by q quick rush over the goai
line II was clear gencralship throughout
arc TOO much credit cannot be given Hyatt
h- his share IN a victory for the Army.
Yale. try as she might, could not re-
sover from this blow administered so early
IN the game and in her attempts she was
rrlfullv weak. When the men came on
the field for the second half one could sec
the tense expression on their faces. They
started with a tremendous rush, bringing
the kickoff back 70 midheld, but poor Sc
lection Of plays. probably due 10 orders
% Merritt. prevented them accomplishing
anything The Yale onlookers had 10 sat
hfv themselves with watching the eleven
keen up its unfruitful efforts with the
Minnesota shift" and high end-over-end
p1rts. which We're always caught and
handled beautifully by Hyatt and Dean
Every one expected Yale TO open her
game FOR Il was already proved by the
Army that she was outmatched at this
sort of game. and looked forward 10 a
change OF tactics that never came. Yale
evidently preferred 20 batter along with
the same game. though with little effort
shs could have changed her puntlng game
Fer hacks had obviously received some In
Struction along these lines. for they com
renced driving low. fast punts down the
teld. but they were always sent directly
A. Hyatt or Dean instead Of into the open
teld. 70 be PLAYED as onside kicks. which
tscesssrily would give her the only oppor-
tsnity 70 recover the ball near the Army

soubtful ~ she could have rushed the ball

men who did the best work to-day.
