PIE FOR TEcH-vANDER8LT BRUSHES soN-TENNEssEE CONTINUES RESULTS West Point, N. r., October 17.-Yale came to West Point this afternoon with ia crippled football team and left tonight victorious. The score. 6 to 0. tells the story of the cadets downfall. Except for a few minutes in the first half, Yales goal was never in danger. In justice it must be said, however, that neither was the cadets except once. Still that once which followed an unexpected penal ty, brought about their defeat. Coy had punted to Dean near the end of the second half. Johnson who had replaced Carberry, was too eager to block the opposing end, and the cadets lost the ball and 15 yards. This gave the pig skin to Yale on the cadets 25-yard line West Point, hitherto fighting desperate ly, lost heart and by successive line piunges, Yale carried the ball across the goal amid cries of Hold ‘em Hold ‘em’‘ from the gray cadets. Coy made the touchdown and after the punt out kicked goal. Yale’s fullback’s name is the only one figuring in the score and deservedly so, for it was his con- sistent bunting and plunging that was re- sponsible for the victory of the visitors As her coaches had announced, Yale re- lied solely on old fashioned football She attempted no on-side kicks, no for ward passes and but one fake play. a double pass from a punt formation. This, however, failed to gain. West Point, on the other hand made two pretty gains on on-side kicks, one of 35, yards. Her much heralded forward pass, however, was in evidence but once and then 1t nearly cost touchdown. Dean had hurled the ball cleanly 30 yards to waiting West Pointer, but Goebel, the big Yale tackle, jumping high in the air, blocked the revolving pigskin. Nadle, his team mate, picked it up and raced 40 yards for what seemed a touchdown However, the referee had blown his whistle for an ]off-side play by the cadets, who were given the choice Of accepting a 5-yard penalty or allowing the touchdown. They took the penalty and Yale lost the score. Captain Burch the big lineman, Cooney and Hobbs and Logan, were out of the New Haven’s lineup, owing to injuries Considering the excessive heat sub stitutions were scarce and there was only one injury Chamberlain, the cadets fullback, who suffered a fractured collar bone. Arrangements for handling the crowds were excellent and there were 10000 spec tatorS.
