So valorously did the Army team defend its fortifications that the heavier Yale line was out gained in the opening period and the great Coy, together with Philbin and Howe, had to be rushed to the aid of the weakening team in the second pc Rod to force the plucky sons of Uncle Sam to bend the knee Coy’s presence in the game for a few moments caused the eleven to hit it’s stride in the second half. and after they got going towards the West Point goal line the great captain was with drawn. Johnson at quarterback played a brilliant individual game, but he did not show himself to be the general that Howe did. Howe was quick to see the soldiers weakness and equally quick to take advantage of it. He changed the whole plan of the Yale attack. and it was his splendid judgment and headwork that were responsible for the Yale victory. Vaughn at end received his forward passes splendidly and once getting the oval, sell dom failed to make good gains Vaughns catch of one forward pass and his quick dash into the enemy’s territory and down through the cadets backs for a touchdown was one of the most spectacular plays of the game.
