ny WILLIAM b. HANNA.

New HAVEN, Oct 22.-Everything
was spectacular and colorful at the
Yale Bowl this afternoon. Everybody
down in the white striped arena was
resuming football relations with a
whirl and a hurrah. Likewise every
thing was Of the sort to make the
blood tingle and the nerves vibrate.
Yale beat the Army. II to z. two
touchdowns to one. in game OF wide
diversity which gripped the onlooker.
All the flavor and atmosphere of
big November fixture were there with
all of tho glory and glitter and all Of
the patronage. More interesting games
to watch are, infrequent. Yale. with
a spirited array, flung loose for public
inspection more up to date tactics than
the Blue has done in some seasons.
The Army. outplayed for three periods,
rallied in dashing style In the last. and
with long forward passes and swift
end thrust made touchdown and cut
down Yale's lead by seven points.
Yale made touchdown in the third
and each side made one In the fourth
The manner of making all three was
spectacular in the extreme. The Ell
men relaxed bit in the last period
but never ceased their game, and the
contest lost nothing in vividness from
the fact that with the hard playing of
the last half It's interest was cumula-
tive. Yale scored in the third and
fourth periods.
Cadets Drill on Field.
The bowl. accustomed to every hue
the spectrum can diffuse, had new
touch to-day when the West Pointers,
The Cadet Corps proper. deployed
through one of the broad mouth tunnels
and swung into formations on the field.
Their drill was stepped Off in soldierly
precision as $4,000 persons looked down
from the great reaches Of the bowl An
autumn sunshine poured its welcome
warmth into the enclosure, taking the
discomfort out Of gusty cross wind,
clearing out the mists and Illuminating

In actual rusFffhH the Army outdid
Yale, this principally by the end run
ming of French and Wood Of the Army
in the last period. French, the fast
Army back was not requisitioned until
the second half. but when he did report

Army ensemble and was the centre Of
rally which must be encouraging to the
Army for the games TO come.
French was a dangerous threat to
Yale, and he jeopardized the Blues out
look after the latter had assumed what
appeared to be a safe lead. 1t was a
safe lead, for the Ellis grew more alert
once a long forward pass and run had
cut their lead in half. But until the last
blow OF the whistle there was always
the danger of another Army touchdown.
Watchfulness and splendid tackling
helped the Ellis in the last period and
attended their playing at all times. They
were a bit surer and harder on the
tackle than the Army. both being sharp
ut following the ball. A missed tackle
resulted In Yale's first touchdown
Beckett had caught forward pass from
Aldrich and all the fast Army men be-
tween him and the goal did was to
yank off his head guard. Head guards

deuce while he rolled over the goal line.
