M pa couple of savage,
l Y long-legged Buckoes, Felix
(Pick) Vidal and Jack
Buckler, turned one of the most
brilliant of all the East's annual
foot ball pageants into a two-man
rodeo today as a crunching Army
eleven finally caught up with Yale
and battered the Bulldog all over
the bowl.
For three long years. crushed once
by the individual brilliance of little
Albie Booth, twice held to meaningless
ties, the great gray corps of Cadets
has massed in the mammoth stadium,
waiting this day.
And the storm that battered down
the Ellis. 20 to o, was as nothing to the
flood of gray that swept the field in a
mob battle for the goal posts the min
ute the ball game was over.
Yale saved the uprights after a ter
rife struggle, that ended on a foul
when the Cadet officers bugled the men
in gray out of battle and into ranks
with a commanding assembly call, but
that was all the consolation there was
in the day for the Ellis.
TWICE in the second period, the kid

took the Bulldog apart in viscious,
single-handed assaults that left Yale
as dazed as the 10000 spectators. small
est crowd to view this spectacle in post
war history.
First Vidal, a 20-year -old youngster
from Madison, S. OAK. looking for all
the world like the Booth of three years
ago, picked one of Dud Parker's kicks
out from under the noses of half a
dozen burly Eli forwards as the ball
was rolling loose on his own 27-yard
line. lodged his way free, pranced past
tackler after tackler up the sideline
like an aerial artist running along q
tightrope, to complete his 73-yard burst
finally, over the Yale goal.
Then almost before the cheering hao
died, came another breath-taking sor-
tie. and the Ellis must have thought
they were seeing double and that both
Of them were Booths.
Out of an end run from his own 32-
yard line burst this youngster Buckler
a 162-pound sophomore from Waco
Tex. and threaded his way with all
the deftness and ease of his predecessor
through the secondary and out in the
clear to score from SO yards away in
an ordinary gaIlop.
That did not end the Army scoring
but it did finish what little chance q

Cadets a final touchdown in the
fourth quarter. although Army twice

A young backfield substitute, Strat

was doing his best for Yale at that time
but in three plays, with the aid of one
15-yard penalty, he was pushed all the
way back from his forty-third to the
7-yard line.

then went the rest of the way in two
line plunges. johnson, a junior from
Ashland, Ohio, and one of the fastest
men on the squad, missed another
touchdown when Army was caught
holding on his 26-yard run from

corner of the field.
