Army Eleven Holds Yale to II Tie

, scurried for the reception OF the leather
Wight. who had come into the game in
place of Mallory dashed into the thick
Of struggling group and plucked the
leather out of the air.
The Army had lost the ball, but IL
would not let Yale hold il for long.
There was tremendous pressure on the
Blue line, and Yale had 10 kick. Back
went the ball to the Ellis. The Cadets
wanted the Ellis to take a few chances
with handling the leather. But Yale
declined to take these chances. II had
seven points and was content to call It
a day. Wight fell back-and punted.
1t was not a long kick--and the run
back was not long-and West Point was
in possession OF the ball on Yale's 43
yard mark. Then and there came the
organization of that fine Army rally
which turned defeat into a tie-and
wrenched victory from the grasp of the
Blue.
Now was the time to call on telling
| plays--the reserve plays. A forward pass
was tried---and It failed. Yale sensed
that play. The eager Army lost FIVE
yards for offside and II was second down
with fifteen TO go and the Cadets driven
/ back almost to midheld.
! But the Army would not give up that
! ball. Again did it call on the forward
pass--and out OF this came the turning
| point for the West Pointers. Smythe,
the brilliant quarterback OF Major Daly's
eleven, hurled the ball accurately ia
| Wood--Bill Wood. who came TO the
| Point from Johns Hopkins last year and
now was taking the place OF Sleepy
| French.
Fifteen yards in perfect arch into

thrown of Cadets on his great run
and not until gain of twenty-eight
yards had been achieved did Wood come

Bowl was bubbllng over.
Yale looked for another pass but the

too far. Smythe sifted through the Ell
center for two yards. with Jordan. who

Jordan again sat astride' his neck. Yale
was holding.
II was time 20 call again on the for
ward pass. Again did Smythe fall back
to make the throw and again did Wood
deploy. Once more did the ball nestle
snugly in Woods arms---ten yards from
the throw and six yards more for a
smashing advance before Wight sent Bill

pretty run wood made. lie had to send
one Ell after another recling from him.
They hurled themselves at Bill and they

he kept strca king, shaking. eluding--
until Wight cut him down.

The Army was on Yalo's three yard
post. The Ellis were determined Wood
came at them. hit at right tackle. and
was downed with the goal line still a
yard from him. Smythe picked right
tackle again as the most vulnerable spot.

gan ever was
Yale stil he'd about half OF that last
quarter before Il and II struck boldly for
victory. After Cross had kicked or for
Yale the Army sent the ball right back
with It's compliments IL wanted none
of the gambling OF the game. Neidllnger
almost gave the Cadets .heir chanoc
when he let the kick bound away from
him. But he recovered the ball In time
and Yale began its attack.
