Man Fumble" was the most conspicuous
figure on Yale field this afternoon dur
Ing the first half Of the game between
Yale and Carnegie Tech. Because of
his presence, Yale beat the plucky
Pittsburgh team. 13 TO 0. Ten Of the
points were practically the result of poor
handling OF the ball on the part OF
Robertson. the Tech quarterback One
muff in the first quarter allowed Yale
chance to jam her backs through for
a touchdown and another furnished
O'Hearn the opportunity to put over a
fine drop kick from the % yard line.
O'Hearns field goal, covering more
than half the length of the field, was
one of the best ever seen in the bowl.
The kick was a low one with plenty Of
carry and it kept it's rise just long
enough to get over the crossbar.
Tech trotted out a light. but clever
team-an aggregation that fought all
the way against a heavier eleven and
one augmented at frequent intervals by
u BILE substitutes. Tech played through
the first half without a change. In the
second half the visitors showed more
football strength and cunning in ad-
vancing the ball than she had in the
first half.
Playing a game that kept the ball
almost continually in Yale territory.
the Carnegie men opened the game up
considerably in the second half, and
Yale was baffled by a series of forward
passes both long and short. 1t can be
said without exaggeration, that Tech
outplayed Yale in the last two quarters
In the closing moments of the game
Tech had the ball within striking dis
tance of the Yale goal.

a surprise to the coaches and followers.

The game opened with disastrous
fumbles by Robertson on the first three
punts Yale made. The first was recov-

place. but Tech held for downs on the
90 yard line.
Another tumble by Robertson was re-
covered a few moments later by Jordan
on the 80 yard line. Jordan plowed his
way to Techs 13 yard line and on two
plays made six more. Neidlinger made
a yard and then dropped back as though
