The touchdown came at the opening of the second period after the Yale offensei had torn through the army team to the nine yard line at the close of the first period. After the rest three Yale rushes brought the touch down. Phillbin failed at the goal. The Yale team was the superior of the West Point eleven in all departments of the game, but errors of the Blue pre- vented the Ellis from rolling up double figures F’ullback Flynn of the Yale team was a brilliant figure on offensive work, but made three muffs of cadet punts. each of which gave the ball to West Point. A fourth Yale tumble came on West Points one yard line, when a touchdown seemed inevitable. Both teams clung largely to the old fashioned type of football, but West Point was successful in three forward passes and Yale made four completed passes. While the West Point offense crumpled up against the stubborn and aggressive Blue line seldom being able to covef more than two or three yards, the army defense was of a high order. On many occasions Flynn and Spalding were nailed without gain or hurled back for losses of several yards. Lineup and summary
