game. and so did Dodd. whose labors
wer mainly defensive.
Tddy and Huffman made two OF the
finest ends we have seen at Yale in
many years. They were fast and they
were not afraid to tackles as IL their
hearts were In their work. They went
down under Neales fine, high kicks
like flashes. and when they got their re-
ceivers. they jolted them from their
heads down 10 their heels. But the
Army held on to tnat ball. 1t was
making no breaks for the Ellis to dart
through for score.
Neale is on the Yale team to stay
there. He is likely to be the one bright
star on attack, and unless he is spoiled
he will prove a most versatile and ef-
fective player. who will fill the shoes
left vacant by Aldrich, very ably. Neale
reminds US a great deal of Harry lie
Gore. He has that fine ability to streak
through broken field--that fine way of
feinting at an end and then cutting
sharply off tackle. He Is hard man
to stop. whether sweeping or slanting.
Neale is a fine punter and he can throw
that ball better than anybody else on the
squad. His heave to Mallory which put
the Blue In position to score, was
beauty. But Whitley must stop fumb
fling. That goes for others. too.
That Yale is working along more
modern lines than 1t did last year or
the season before, was indicated by just
one play which the Ellis tried out in che
second period. They put on a fake pass
similar to that used by Harvard, and
Jordan made fair gain. The play still
was crude.
Attack Needs Polishing.
Yales attack still needs a lot Of
polishing. There was too much aimless
running, too much shotgun hitting at
close range. Yale also will have to stop
fumbling that ball. There was too much
loose. sloppy handling of the leather
some OF which could be traced to Love-
joy the substitute center, whose pass
ing at times was wretched. The fumb-
ling was compensated for by the alert
ness of the Ellis. who lost the ball on
tumble only, once.
The strategy of both the Ellis and the
Cadets generally was pretty sound, but
in few details II was rather startling.
There was the Army in the second period
on the fourth down with the ball on
Yale's seven yard mark throwing the ball
over the goal line for touchback. AS
the game was going the big play was
a drop kick-and the Army tossed away
the chance and probably victory too.
Army's 35 yard line and second down,
O'Hearn was rushed into the game. 1t
was O'Hearn's office to try drop kick.
The angle was there. but the chance was
there too. Three points would have won
as we'll as seven. O'Hearn threw a pass,
the ball was Intercepted by Gilmore
and away went the Blues big oppor-
tunity even as the Army's had gone
earlier.
Princeton-the Opportunist.
Princeton's victory at Chicago once
more emphasized the value OF unquench-
able fighting spirit-a generous posses
sion of which has made up for lot OF
Tiger shortcomings in mechanical de-
tails these last few years. Princeton al
ways has been the big opportunist. It
was this fact that we had In mind when
we stated that while Chicago looked like

that the Tigers would pounce on every
opportunity and dash through every
lapse or the foe
