Tn” start of tho gam” was prob ably unique in that each team made TWO successive first downs on its two opening plays. That quarter was perhaps the most exciting ever play cd in the Bowl. Caldwell was bat terin- his way through flor huge gains and Marstcrs was giving q beautiful demonstration of open field running. the bah going from one zeal line 10 the other with anaZ- ing rapiditv as each team cut loose a devastating offeESe which vas halted only rear the final chalk line.

Lane was held in complete check throughout the day. The Green suffered from the injury of its tullback Hamm, and others of it’s men. the players not being able to take punishment as could Yale’s.

His second score was a one man performance, aS he knocked down and pushed off about six tarklcrs without aid from his mates and finally fell over the line with the ball. Decker. somewhat Of q top in early games. did some fine running, but he cclipscd this work by his uncanny figuring out of the Greens passing attack.
