 The Yale Army football game Sat urday developed into an unusually colorless affair, but both teams fought courageously through the cold, mud and rain to a TT tie which was honorable to the Blue. at least. The slippery going precluded much success at open play, even though Bowman did get off some pretty end sweeps and the Army did tess a number of forwards, and the game for the most part resolved itself into a rather sullen driving at the line. with frequent kicks on early downs.
 In addition, Albie Booths injury on his first play of the encounter tr the, life out of his mates and the stands at the same time. With Booth gone, Yale seemed to lose all hope of further scoring and con tented itself to battling grimly to hold the Army to tie, which it sue ceeded in doing after a manful struggle which showed that the Yale line was improving greatly.
 There was some question as to whether or not Booths hurts were Inflicted Intentionally by Army roughness. While we can hardly give the absolute lie to such rumors, they seem unlikely because of the nature of the play on which the in jury was sustained. Booth intercept cd an Army pass which might have meant a touchdown, and it would seem that the reversal of affairs was too sudden to allow thoughts of dirty" playing to come to the Army players minds. And, judging from the cleanness of the Cadets play during the balance of the game, the Army wasn't that kind of a team.
 It looked as if the treacherous footing was partly responsible as Albie slithered one way and then the other as the opposing men dove for him, going down hard as his feet shot out from under in the mud.
 Yale played a waiting game from the start. Sullivan had orders not 10 takes chances on trying to catch punts, and Parker punted on first or second down consistently. The idea seemed to be to wait for an Army tumble. It never. came, but blocked kick substituted for it and gave Yale it's touchdown. Army's score and Booths injury followed shortly, and then Yale settled down to waiting again, so Stevens charges never opened up their attack at all.
 Yale's heroes were Parker. whose swift long kicks averaged 59 yards and kept Army in it's own territory all afternoon and who also con- tributed some nice runs and tackles; Crowley, who shone on the defense and made his teams touchdown; : Barres whose work on kicks was particularly brilliant; and Loeser the fighting but good-natured cen ter, who was all over the field.
 What Yale needs is a left end. Brown circled Flygare's station con- sistently last week and Bowman got away several times around it Sat urday. With the return of Linden burg this week the problem may be solved and the Yale line made a wall from end to end, for the center holds up well and there is no turning Barres' side.
 Dartmouth outplayed Harvard Saturday yet was lucky to win by 7-2, for the Crimson blocked a punt and Ben Ticknor. it's captain, chased the ball over the Dartmouth goal line. He couldn't fall on it, how ever. until it had rolled out of bounds, so it counted at only two points as a safety instead of six and possibly the tying seven-as a touchdown.
 And while the football world was bemoaning Booths injuries, which now are said to be rather slight, Devens of Harvard was in the hos pltal with a broken leg sustained Saturday. Devens may not mean quite as much to the Crimson as does Booth 10 the Blue, but he is one of it's big stars and his loss will hurt.
 Boston papers again yesterday paid tribute to the prowess of Gay Bromberg, N. B. H. S. graduate who is playing his third year as a Dart mouth guard. Many of his friends here will take the opportunity Sat urday to zee him in action against Yale.
