NV HAVEN. Conn. Oct. 22.--The
e.Ildoe is back again with all the
sa.ing yslor Of his breed.
INT from the folds of Yale's triumph
i Blue he went for the throat of the
arry mule and came off victorious to-
$. IN one of the most enthralling
,,t.les and one Of the most gorgeous
.,s,sscies that ever featured the annals
II sport.
Ssvsnty.four thousand persons, the
,s,atess crowd that ever looked down
rpsu an October contest, saw Yale beat
IL Army, IA to 2, In ono of those
ssrye-wracking, heart-gripping, pulse
earring contests that lift the human
,sa! out Of bondage and give it passage
ID the heights. For, as the sun went
down and dusk came stealing softly in
,aoss the field, the vast gathering was
I'LL moving from one CULVER to an
shsr as the whistle checked French
u the rim of another battling pass.
Army Fights to End
Ysle won, but the Army fought to
he final play with a turn of power,
I'LL and courage that deserved a bet
| III fate. AS the golden October after
.eon, as fawless as perfection itself.
rsre on toward early twilight the
hrilling drama under way upon the
kn seemed to grow in tenseness as
he courageous Army attack, led by the
trilliant French, went forward, fight
iss against Blue defense that broke
sHce and then held stoutly against the
mshing tide that threatened to brinr
iscut draw.
The break of battle came Yale's way
trly in the fourth quarter with a sud
ssaAess that left West Point dazed for
he moment but that failed to breax
egsn her poise and courage even in
he lace of almost sure defeat.
Aldsich in 74-Yard Run
4 the big moment in question the
Bulldog was leading, to 0, through
l9ueidown Aldrich and Beckett had
arnsd ON sensational pass, with
sesxet taking the ball across the line,
Ht the Army, undaunted, had come
ses at the attack. With French lead
tae assaulting wedge, the West
ehsers were only twenty yards from
We Blue border, with score in sipht
s lae Army star dropped back and
seaealy whipped another one of his
lne shot passes to the left of the Bull
idg line But the pass never got to
" army man. Starting from his own
0al, captain Aldrich leaped forward,
aos ~ tae ball at top speed and in
lssa y, was winning his way along the
ias mes with an open country ahead,
ne eluded the final tackler and swung
~ Tor the goal beyond. He had tray-
~ exactly seventy-four yards, with
ae great Bowl in a wild uproar. when
isit despairing Army tackler left his
al and nailed the flying Aldrich only
ssenleen yards from port.
Vhearn in Slashing Charge
10 the face of this sudden shock the
anaY defense wavered for just one
cement, and in this moment Charlie
paearn, on fake pass and a wide
.ao u, run, fought his way over the line
asn three Army tacklers riding his
s.ashy back the last five yards in a
's,n y, eHort to drag him down.
..a ams ciashing charge of O'Hearn's,
;sspied with the Aldrich recovery, put
