Caldwell Proves an Ace.
Bruce Caldwell, the Yale backfield
ace. figured in all the Yale scoring
plays. He threw the pass caught by
Quarter for the Blue touchdown,
added the point after touchdown, and
then booted sensational field goal
travelling nearly SO yards.
After Caldwell was deemed to have
done his share of the work and told
to call it a day., his mantle fell on
Bill Hammersley. and while the under.

Yale needed the ball for Caldwell to

Caldweli's Great. Kick.
The third period score came when

squarely between the goal posts.
Caldwell was nearly 10 yards back
and the ball had TO travel 10 yards
past the goal lines to get between
the uprights, giving a kick of almost
half the length of the playing field.
The Army score came at the be-

line and seemed well on the way to
a touchdown in the third when Scott
crashed through and caught eagle IL

eagle passed to Harbold on the 3-yard

the next time he carried it over. Army
had no chance TO kick for the extra
point. as Gibner. who was set to hold
the ball for Wilson's toe, fumbled a
bad pass and the ball bounded away.
