" Conn, October 25.-They
i carried little Albie Booth of
the field on stretcher to-
day and most Of Yale'S hopes
along with him, but the Ellis sur
vived this stunning break with
sufficient defensive courage to
hold the high-powered Army team
to a TT tie in a rain soaked battle
before close to $4,000 spectators.
Booth appeared in only one play, but
it was the dramatic sensation OF the
entire game otherwise confined largely
to q kicking and defensive tussle IN
the mud. Entering the fray late in the
second period. with Yale leading TO by
virtue of a first quarter break and
as Army was counter-charging Albie
shared a long Cadet pass tossed by
Ken Fields almost to the Blue goal-line.
In a flash, the outburst OF cheers
that had greeted Booths entry ano
getaway was drowned in chorus OF
groans-followed by the booes OF more
frenEied partisans, as the spectacular
Eli quarterback lay stretched out on the
turf. where he had been brought down
hard after a short dash by the charge
of trio of Army tacklers.
Injuries Not Serious.
Albie was stopped on his own 7-yard
line and 1t was quick apparent he was
through for the day. The booing grew
In volume in the Yale stands as the
favorite boy in blue was helped to MS
feet and then handed over to the
observation-disclosures.
Examination of Booth revealed he
was injured about the head as well as
of HnfV
but the injuries, while sufficient to END
his activities for the afternoon, were
not serious.
Still somewhat in a daze as result
of this misfortune, the Ellis, with SANDY
Wiener in Booths place, directing the
play, were unable to stop the next Army
charge to the goal line:
