NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 2s.--In the
= sister battle Of Bulldog and Bayonet
Il he issue is still in doubt. AT the end
3 sshe third period the Bulldog was in
4 .,ons, but the Bayonet, always the vital
,setor in any final charge, again came
trough at the seventh wave, and left
4 de issue tied up in true love knot at
syen count.
4 So 1t happened that in the presence
II 77,00o spectators Yale and the Army
sanciuded their vast and brilliant spec
asle to-day with touchdown apiece
Ind the final score at and q, with the
iig bowl packed and jammed to the
:simate soul.
- modern warfare supremacy in the
sismust always tell the story. Land
iad sea no longer count to any great
.xtent. To-day two great lines, charg-
irg with speed and power, completely
sanihilated all running attacks, but
shen the big moment came both Yale
aud the Army went to the air for de-
eisiye results, and both made good by
two brilliant passes that carried the
sal to within short stride of the line.
For the first two periods the game
isgged and gave evident signs Of being
aisheveled and out of tune But in the
last two periods both big elevens
swirled up out Of the rut and kept the
great crowd twisting and squirming in
he upheavai of excitement that always
follows action and results.
Looked Even From the Start
After that drab and discolored first
tall, where neither team could gain
enough ground to bury quarterback
aud where it looked as if neither ma
chine would ever score, Yale suddenly
;ossed aside the ancient battering
tsstics of the past and became as mod
'u as the fappeG and the latest mur-
desmystery.
fcr the first part of the third period,
ss ne $1,000 sat under eloudless skies,
10 Blue turned over most of her at
tsck to Doc Jordan, who, from his own
ss-yard line, began to throw his 2g3
'onnds against the Army forwards with
smsshing effect. Jordan and Whitley
seaie together, great team, carried
the ball on to the Army's 33-yard line,
and here Neale, swinging wide, sud
denly shot pass to Mallory, who car
ried the ball and carbuncle fully as
large as the ball to the Army's 4-yard
line as the Blue stands arose en- masse
with hullabaloo that swung out
against West Rock, hazy in the fading
sunlight of an autumn day.
Yale had proved that in a pinch she
could leave the ground and 60 into the
air, and this play from Neale to NAL
loFy found the right flank of the Army
defense completely baffled and out of
for the main test that was to come
id covering this last four yards-a
hard charging, powerful Army defense
that time and again had held the Yale
charge we'll i. check. 1t was here
again that Yale proved her modernity.
Those last four yards to the goal are
always held by mighty barricades, but
IN place of attempting an old-fashioned
battering rush the Yale forwards sud
denly swung wide as the feet Neale
dropped ten yards back.
This was something new, something
far different from the Iowa contest,
and you could sense the excitement in
the sudden uprise of the crowded
stands.
Neale Sweeps to Goal
Yale was no longer depending upon
the sheer, raw power of human flesh.
out at q critical moment was calling
upon strategy to pull her through.
There was every indication with
part of the Yale line shifted we'll over
70 the right that Neale was on his
way to dash around the Army flank.
As the ball was passed Neale feinted
iar toward the end Of the line, but as
he Army tackle was boxed he sud-
senly cut in just outside of tackle and
swept across the goal, wherein both
tdsception and speed lifted the Blue
iato the lead.
This score looked to be quite enough
z win, and so no one could discount
Me cheering jubilation in the Yale
astor of the big field. Yale had not
aanly scored, but she had scored by
alsh grade strategy as well as organ
mea skill on two spectacular plays
.nst had crossed no mans land in two
wit, desperate thrusts. That lone
wore looked to be quite enough for
le days job. Judging the scene by
ne fne power and enduring despera-
aon Of both defenses, it looked like a
