 10 the woefully lengthy list of 1926 has-heens. Granted nothing more than the possibility of holding Dart mouths wonder am" to a low score. Yale outgamed and outfought the invaders in'the Bowl Saturday and humbled the Hanoverians in their own element. the air. inflict- ing the first defeat the Indians had suffered in three years. Yale has always proved adept at breaking up aerial attacks, and the vaunted pass ling of Dartmouth availed nothing against the wariness and speed Of the Eli backs. who dartcd about and broke mp almost every one Of Doo- Iloy's feared hoaves. The humlaing of the Green was decisive. for Yale consistently outplayed it's opponents aud would have scored much oftener had it not been for an agonizng series of fumbles and dropped
 passes beneath the Dartmouth goal posts.
 Losing ground on line plays and
 bunting exchanges Yale early ven tured into the air but. while the Dartmouth defense was completely
 baffled, lG losses went through out stretched arms and became lost op- portunities which cost at least one N-ai1o and their fellow backs were mean

 10 stop, and Dartmouth executed 1t
 with such rapidity that it succeeded almost every time and carried the invaders to their only score.
 The third quarter saw Yale be- come sure-handcd and tie the count on perfect long heavcs by Kline to Bunnell and Bunnell to Kline, this pair leaving Dartmouth befuddled by their speed and accuracy. Their winning touchdown followed specta- cular work by McGonigle, a substi- tute whose name was not even on the official scorecards and who was sent in late in the fray. He inter cepted one of Dooley's frantic for
 wards and ziszaggcd the ball to within the danger zone, then loop
 cd pretty toss to Scott for the score. His rise from the reserve { bench to the days hero was even
 more meteoric than that of Prender-
 east in the Iale-Princeton game last year.
 Another Ell newcomer was little Eoodwine, who was even better than
 his name and staggered the Green line and intoxicated the Yale root CTS by his plucky line e-plunging through vastly larger men. Larry Noble carried the brunt of the at tack and defense until "Goody' went in, taking the ball at least half of the time and seldom failing to cleave a gain, while his tackling off, set the hewildcrment of Yale's
 patchwork line. And over all must
 bo set the generalship of Bunnell, who added beautiful work on both
 ends of forward passes and in run ming, dodging and rolling punt back for the longest gain of the
 game to his qualifications for All American selection. which he just missed by a sloppy finish last fall. Dooley equallcd his reputation for three-uuarters, but as Yale outplay- cd him at his own game and the end drew near he became a very or dinary quarterback, volleying fran tic passes but growing more cratic
 with every one. MacPhail did the heavy baIl-carrying. while Ruben and Holeran made an impossible line barrier.
 Summing up. Yale. in spite Of in
 numerable injuries. has large
 hackfield of versatile and clever men and the old Eli fighting spirit, but
 its shift, wavering line, must show improvement If 1t is to hold off the crashing Army backs who tore through a nasty Syracuse line almost at will. Two weeks remain
 before that contest, and the Brown
 game should give the new combina- ton coordination. With Princeton lowing to the Navy and Harvard Tn the throes of a complete change in it's playing system, Yale remains the only unbeaten Big Three" team and by virtue of its astonishing reversal
 of predictions Saturday, the favorite in that triumvirate.
 The cleanness of both sides In Sat
 urday's game was attested by the
 fact that the only two penalties out side of those following incomplete passes. were for off-side play ana
 neither team resorted to any rough tactics whatsoever.
