CAGLE FAVORS
ARMY OVER
BULLDOG
By CHRISTIAN C.RED"J eagle

SIANhV1LLE, MISS, OcC. 30.
Some 10000 wild-eyed, excited
fans will pack the Yale Bowl to
watch the Army mule and the
Yale Bulldog match skill and
skull for so minutes Of a long
hour in the football classic Of the
East.
Every color Of the spectrum
will add to the beautiful scene
in something Of blended design
with spot Of grey predominant
ing in one section that will be a
mere speck almost hidden in the
vaStness Of the great crowd.
This Speck will be 1,200 cadets
sending their cheers to the air in
accompaniment to the Army-blue
band, O roofing section that never
quits and never forgets to praise
the loser as much Ur more than
the winner. L'sprit de corps.
Major Ralph SaSSe's staff
and eager reserves will occupy
a row Of advanced seats along
the east side Of the 5O.yard
line.
Nal Stephens and his cohorts
will occupy a similar array Of
benches diametrically opposite
the Army men across the narrow
space of so yards. The atmoS-
phere around these benches will
be calm, deliberate, with serious
eyes and unsmiling lips. It's Sc
riouS business this ArE1y-Yale
game.
The crowd of excitement-mad,
will ostentatiously acclaim their
choice of competitor. Some Yale,
some Army, while others will
claim the winner-no matter who
just the winner.
The teams, so far as displayed
and potential strength is con-
cerned, seem equally matched in
conformity with those teams Of
the past three years. Army has
lost some heart-breaking battles
out there on the green, while the
Ellis have withheld some brilliant
victories to her campus and
credit.
Give Yale and Army alike
credit for team that never dies
until the final whistle echoes
within the walls Of this most
beautiful Of football amphi-
theaterS.
In my opinion there never
was of recent date a team
that displayed courage and
showed its ability to come
from utter defeat i'm the first
period to score a decided vic
tory at the end as the Yale
team last year.
Trailing by 13 points at the
first quarter, the Ellis came to
the fore and won a game that
seemed a walk over for the Army
after the first quarter.
A team that can overcome the
demoralizing effect Of two early
scores and then recuperate with
such viciousneSS and uncanny
team play to rout a major op-
ponent must be admired and re-
spected. That's what happened
last year and the Army remem-
bers well.
Albie Booth led a pony back
field into the game that turned
out to be laundering demons. An
inspiration was sent to the hearts
of every Yale man, and, finally,
this game covered itself with
glory and Booth was crowned the
meteoric star, worthy Of praise.
Never before has the writer
seen such sensational individ-
ualiSm cover q gridirOn for
approximately 40 minutes. A
flash, but q great exhibition.
The fotball-golng crowd will
not have the oportunity to wit
ness another such game. Thrill
ing, exciting, an unbelievable
comeback. Victory outright, then
defeat downright. Another such
game can't be expected, but an
other great game may be pre-
dicted.
Everyone who has the good
fortune to witness this traditional
classic may well expect a contest
worthy of attendance by eighty
millions if Accommodations were
possible.
Army deception, like no other
Army team, has had the good for
tune to carry to the Eastern front
will be seen against the Ellis today.
The Cadet team is confident be-
cause of its victory over Harvard
last weekend. Yale also is conf
dent after the defeat of Brown
the Saturday passed.
With a victory today, Yale will
have offset the Georgia defeat
and will establish herself among
the football elite of the East. Army
has made a great beginning to-
ward a clean slate season, and the
intentions of Army warriors will
be anything but amorous. There
are no friends on q football field
between the opening and final
whistle. Even the truest sports
manship makes this axiom ethical
and every ounce Of strength avail
able will be spent for q win.
