General Barry, a former superintendent
OF the Military Academy, came up from
Governors Island to see the game ana
was greeted by a salute OF guns.
The army mule was much in evidence
but he was a quiet sort Of fellow and
needed a deal of dragging about. He may
show more animation when he meets the
navy goat some day early in December.
Lieutenant Howard head coach OF the
Naval Academy team, and Charley DAILY
the one time famous quarterback, were
among those seen on the side lines. The
former was on hand to study the army
players and the latter to see what Yale
was doing in building for the Harvard
game.
1t took the New Haven men some time
to get fully aroused, but when Flynn went
charging down the field for forty yards
on catching a punt Yale soon was in a
position to strike. Philbin tried a goal
from placement, but the ball was a few
feet wide and the cadets in the stands
breathed again.
West Point kicked cut from the 20-yard
I line, but Philbin ran the ball back TO mid

! did not end until a touchdown was scored

rest between the first and second periods,

six points, as the try at goal was missed.
The rest OF the second quarter was
fairly even. the ball changing hands re-
peatedly. II was marked by another

opportunity came for West Point TO
strike on Yale's 3O-yard line. A penalty
for holding set the Army back fifteen
yards, and, while Hobbs made this up IN
one sharp dash, the Yale defence stiff
ened, and Cooney captured the ball for
the Blue by intercepting forward pass.
Yale then began a march down the field
which carried the ball full seventy

The final quarter was marked by the
sudden awakening of the Army team.

an attack was launched which the Yale
men could not stop until driven to bay
