The Yale defense suddenly sdfened, and Holy Cross ate up her three downs without advance. Mccarthy dropped back and tried a quick goal from place, Cahul making “A long pass 10 Shay. poised on one knee. receiving the bal and placing 1t for Mccarthy TO lift. Forbes hurled himself against the ball fer a hne block and the only chance Holy Cross had to earn a score had passed. The Yale ofenSe was nothing TO boast OF considering the fact that one or two of the Holy Cross regulars were out Of the game because of their studies. The Ellis, however, missed Quarterback Tad Jones and Fuliback R0ome who We’re injured and unable TO get in the lineup. Yale Defense Good. The Yale defense was good and the visitors failed to find an opening in the line. They got first down but once and were twice within striking distance Of the Yale goal Els ends were strong. The quarterback pass was a dismal failure with Dimes at quarter for Yale. There were no long runs or senSa tionaI PLAYS and the game on the whole was mediocre after Iales first touchdown.
