BOSTON FOOTBALL
TEAM BEATS YALE
Continued from First Page.

l
Yale on the defence on its own IS yard
line and Fitzpatrick making ready for
another field goal try.
Yale had been beaten and IL was
silent, sad lot OF men and women who
wendell their way out of the huge bowl.
| Down on the greensard the little army
of Boston college boys was fighting for
the privilege of pattng its heroes on the
back. One group carried Fitzpatrick on
the field and another gathered up
Heaphy. Others scrambled Off the field
! before their admirers could get to them
As for Cavanaugh, the boys felt as IL
they could hug him to death, for In
Boston tonight Cav" is a bigger hero
than Paul Revere. And well may
Boston College celebrate.
Hesphy Plays strong Game.
While Fitzpatrick was Bostons hero
on the attack its leading light on the
defensive was Heaphy. centre. II any
body is going to beat this young man
for the All-East position he will have
| to play considerable football. Heaphy
played the most rowing kind Of a rowing
| centre.
He played centre, couple of guard
positions, and once In while took care
OF a tackle or two and an end. He was
|
every minute and getting results that
left Impressions on something more than
| the minds of some of the Eli etalwarts.
| Heaphy was far too strong PROPOSE
ton for Acosta, who started at centre
for Yale and he outshone Calvin.
Perhaps II was fortunate for Calla-
han, the regular Yale centre, that he
was not in there to try to stop the
Irshman from Boston. We doubt II
| no fhiQ human
fury. Urban, left end, and Corrigan,
quarterback. were the other stars for
Boston
Yales star in defeat was Kempton,
with La Roche second, and the rest no
where. Kempton got away for several
good runs the best OF which netted him
twenty-seven yards, just before the first
quarter ended.
Murphy made the longest run of the
contest, dash for fifty-nine yards to
Boston's two yard mark right after the
start OF the fourth period. Had there
been no holding among the Yale players
Murphys run. especially as 1t came in
the wake of his field goal, would have
made him the idol Of Yale and the talk
of the football world.
Yale Is Penalixed.
But the run was for naught Several
of the Yale linemen had been holding
and Murphy was called back to Yale's
thirty-seven yard mark Another play
and Yale was forced>to punt.
II holding cost Yale the game hold
ing also came near beating the Boston
team. 1t was near the end OF the third
period and Murphy had just come into
the game in place OF La Roche. French
had punted and Boston had taken three
crn ot hn lima ytfI fA,,r
yards short.
Then came a fifteen yard penalty
against Boston for holding. and the
Hub eleven was in n bad situation. Bos-
ton had the ball on it's own seven yaru
mark and it became imperative to punt
at once.
Fitzpatrick dropped back behind his
own goal lines. and just when he should
! have got of one OF his customary fifty
yard kicks he made a rather poor ef-
fort and Yale gained possession OF the
ball on Boston's twenty-six yard mark.
;, Murphy made three yards, Kempton
only one and French one more. Muir
ply dropped back and from the forty
two yard mark kicked a field goal that
was as pretty as any goal a man might
want to see. Yale was in front by 3
to 2, thanks largely to that fifteen yard
penalty.
Just as Fitzpatrick Is the hero of the
Boston victory. so is Acosta the goat
of the Yale defeat. Bostons two points
for safety may be traced directly to
two wretched passes by Acosta, two OF
the worst passes a centre ever made to
Yale quarterback.
4 Yale Forced Back.
Midway in the third period Kempton
intercepted Boston forward pass on
Yale's % yard mark. Sheehan threw
Kempton for a loss of two yards and
: Yale decided to kick. French punted
! out OF bounds on Boston's A yard mark
but the Hub eleven had been guilty of
ofrside and the ball was brought back
and five yard penalty imposed. 1t was
Yale's ball on its own rs yard mark
Braden and La Roche failed to do
much so French dropped back TO punt
Acosta's pass went wild and French.
, with the ball in his arms, was thrown
, on his own yard mark and hauled over
the line. The officials brought the ball
| out to the 2 yard mark and again
French dropped back for a kick.
, Once more Acosta became ratified
and again he passed the ball wildly.
French got 1t twenty yards behind his
own goal line, where he was thrown for
/ safety. Boston had scored on Yale,
an achievement that soon was to pale
before a great victory.
Yale made four first downs by rush
I ing. while Boston got three. Boston made
! two fnmbles and recovered one, while
Yale made two and recovered both.
, Boston tried FIVE forward passes, two OF
which were intercepted and two were
completed for gain OF forty-two yards
Yale tried six forward passes and COM
pletcd three for a total OF twenty-four
| yards One was intercepted.
