The frenzi”d shouts Of Joy which followed DAYS field goal shook the trees across the Hudson. No such cause for jublntion has been experienced az the Point since Nesbitt Kicked a goal agaInst Princeton in 1898 and tied the score The substitutes jumped to their feet and waved their blankets frantically. Officers and cadets danced and yelled. and hosts OF pretty girls shrieked themselv IS hoarsc. The air was ablaze with color. with the dark blue Of Yale forming a sombrs and unwilling background.

    SATURDAYS FOOTBALL GAMES. Yale Unable to Beat the West Point Cadets-Princetons Close Shave Yale Unable to Beat the West Point Cadets-Princetons Close Shave. The Yale foot ball team went to West Point Saturday expecting to score two or three touchdowns againts the sol diers but came out of the game tied by the cadets at the score of 5 to 5. Hogan made touchdown in the first half and deSaulles lost a chance to add another point by muffing the punt out for a try for goal. In the second half after four unsuccessful attempts to kick a goal from the field, Charley Daly, the West Point quarter, dropped the ball between the goal posts and tied the score. West Point was the hardest proposition that Yale has met in two years and it was the first time in that number of years that Yale has failed to win her game. Yale failed to win the game because of a streak of fun1- bling that came over her players. De- Saulles and Chadwick were the chief offenders and between them they let the pigslSin slip from their hands at least six times, and each time a West Pointer was there to fall on the ball. In the second half Yale was outplayed in almost every department of the game and was on the defensive nearly the entire half The play was in her territory over three-quarters of the half Daly played great game for the soldiers. Following was the line- up: Yale. West Point Gould ................... Selfridge, zell Left End. f1dIHllH .........-,..,...... MCAHuTeW Left Tackle. OlCOtC Riley Left Guard. f1OlL .......,....... boyeTS Center. Glass ...............,...... Seagraves Right Guard. Hogan ................ Bunker Right Tackle. swan ..................

In the most closely contested game ever play ed on West Point field, the cadets tied Yale’s strong team by score of 5 to 5. Daily was in fine form and was ably supported by every man on the home team. The Yale men say their team played poorly. There was great the gamer. The cadets were not on the defensive, but on the offensive, and the battle was mostly fought on Yales territory
