which skinned the tackles and came in
side them with great effect.
Yale's attack was woeful. 1t is true
that is could not be expected to show
much at this time. but even taking into
consideration the fact that the Blue is
heading for the Princeton contests 1t
did not show enough. 1t did not have
enough stuff, nor did 1t show the stuff
which it had with any great show Of
strength or knowhow. 1t was crude.
The saving factors in the Yale attack
were first Aldrich and then Murphy.
While Aldrich was in the game he made
things hum with long runs. He was
the only Yale back who at that stage
worked with confidence. He ran, kicked
and threw the ball and developed the
triple threat to a high degree. When, in
the second period, Aldrich had to leave
with a wrenched ankle. which may keep
him out for weeks, the Yale attack
sagged nserably. 1t perked up again
when Murphy entered the lineup in the
place of Kempton late in the game.
Frank Kelly, the former Rutgers back,
who made two fumbles which were con-
verted into touchdowns by Boston, was
both good and bad. Toward the end he
was finding himself. Kelly did not look
so good against Boston, but we think
and be one of the mainstays He too
makes remarkable threat. Kempton.
at quarterback, showed that he is Moth
ing of the sort. He disappointed IN
every way. Hampton ought not to be
burdened with signals. Perhaps his
running game would show up better If
he were relieved of that responsibility.
Yale's tactics, taken all in all, were
bad It's interference was poor and con-
tinually was messing UP its own attack
Particularly in the first half Yale car
riers time and again were stopped by
their own interference.
AS for Yale's strategy, that too
seemed to be faulty. The only apparent
change made with the shift of coaches
from DR.. Sharpe to Jones cropped out
in the insistent use of the forward pass.
Yale tried the pass seventeen times and
completed it eight times for q total gain
of 40 yards.
The use of the forward pass, howe err
was discounted by the use of the lateral
pass deep in Yale territory. In spite of
the lesson learned in the Princeton game
last fall, which was lost because a
lateral pass went wrong near the Yale
goal line and gave Scheerer a chance
to run for a Tiger victory, the Blue still
clings to that dangerous play in danger
Gus territory. 1t does not seem to be
able to rid itself of the lure of the
heritage from the lamented coaching
regime of Frank Hinkey.
Boston played fast football. and in
telligent football. 1t used the forward
pass ten times and completed it three
times for a total Of twenty-three yards.
Yale made six first downs on rushing
while Boston got Ave. Yale got another
first down with forward pass. while
Boston made two first down by the
aerial route. so that in the matter OF
first downs they were even, with seven
each. The Boston secondary defence
gave Yale's lesson after lesson with its
smashing drive Time after time Bos-
ton men knocked themselves out with
the vigor of their deferce.
1t was one of the toughest and hard
est played games we yet have seen, and
was full of penalties and vexing delays,
most of which were traced to Boston.
There were no fewer than sixteen pen
alties. Yale was penaliZed six times
for a total of fifty yards while Boston
was taxed ten times for total Of
eighty-five yards One penalty came to
Boston for clipping-the first of that
variety seen this season. Clipping is IL
legal under the new rule inserted into
the code last winter.
