  Yale, playing the stiffest sched- ule in it’s history, lost it’s opening game against Columbia, Rose Bowl winner of 1888, but the fighting Ellis came back to beat Pennsyl- ing 37–⁠0 victory over rugged Brown. Hence, despite the Columbia de- feat, this years Army. Yale game is just as attractive as last season when both teams were unbeaten and Army scored it’s fifth straight victory, 21–⁠0. The bulldogs show ing against Brown, featured by one of the seasons most spectacular terial attacks, added 1uster to Sat- urday’s contest. Likewise, the fact that Army thus far met four op- ponents, but none of Major Caliber. Drake was the strongest, and the Cadets won 48–⁠0. Mammoth Task If Yale can down the soldiers Saturday, it will be one of the greatest triumphs in Eli history be- cause the Bulldog is being put through a new set of jumps by coaching staff which scrapped the Notre Dame system and went back to the single wing-back formation, reminiscent of the Tad Jones of- fensive. Youthful Ducky Pond is head coach, and his chief assist ant is Earle “Greasey” Neale, | master strategist. Under Coach Pond Yale has done a drastic about-face. No longer do the Yales smile when they play | football. They are out to win. The “smiler” has given way to the unshaven caveman. roughened ana | toughened by stiff training. If Yale can beat Army Saturday, Pond will be hailed as miracle man” because he took over a team that appeared physically inadequate to face it’s tough schedule, and a squad that seemed entirely too small. Trouble At West Point, however. Lieu tenant Gar Davidson, in his sec- ond year as head coach of the future generals, had no bed of Roses. Only three regulars left after graduation, and the Plebes offered a mere handful of pros- poets. Moreover, Davidson lost the services Of Earl (Reo) blalh and Harry Ellinger who took over the coaching duties at Dartmouth. But most experts are confident of Army’s ability because this was the same situation which confront ed Davidson in 1888. outside of losing Blaik and Ellinger. And he turned out a great Army team Both teams are expected to Ee at full strength. Captain Joe Stan- cook, a powerful defensive and blocking back, and versatile Jack Buckler, who did not play last week in Army’s easy game with Sewanee, will swing into action The Cadets are concentrating on a defense against Yale’s aerial at. tack. And at New Haven, Pond li polishing up the same lineup which crushed Brown.
