another 20 yards for the touchdown
Casey is great open field runner, but
he didifit raise much havoc by running
the ball from scrimmagc.
Crimson Ends Good
The Horween brothers. Captain Mur-
ray and Desmond and Phinncy. two OF
the Crimson wingmen. also played good
football and deserve to rank with Casey
in achieving Che victory.
Jim Braden. the big Yale fulIback
got off one of the longest field goals
ever booted. when he drove the ball
through the uprights and over the cross
bar from the J5-yurG line. He had n
good wind at his back, but at that if
took hefty kick TO make the ball travel
the distance.
Neville played the best rushing game
for the Blue and also did some good
punting. but most of his drives We're
against the wind. Alrich, who relieved
Neville late in the game. also showed
