As IL turned out later. the touchdown would have Just tied the score but lie Cores toe came into play and he kicked the goal easily, scoring the single PORT necessary for victory. The game was a tremendous disappointment to Yale enthusiasts, despite the fact that Yale won, for the New Haven team showed no improvement over the form displayed in the Virginia game week ago. Driving power behind the line, ability on the defence and, most of all, general team play were lacking. The Lehigh backfeld tried fake end rushes for good gains through centre repeatedly, and the Yale ends were boxed on numerous occasions. The Lehigh forward passes, beautifully executed by Chenoweth. were worked for long gains, and Yale’s secondary defence seemed powerless to stop the Lehigh ends, except on rare occasions. On the offence the Yale lateral and for ward passes did not work smoothly and failed to bring gains, while line rush ing tactics brought results but little more satisfactory. The game was a rough one from start / TO finish. Frank Hinkey went on the / field 70 demonstrate with the coaches / on one occasion and 20 insist that Lehigh player who jumped on lie Gore when the latter attempted TO run with the ball after he had made touch down be put out of the game. The ! player continued in his position. , Black, Belts and Baldridge, all new. men this week in the lineup Of the Yale team, were put out of the game with injuries. Chenoweth. the little quarterback whose play was a big factor in the ex- / cellent showing made by Lehigh. suf- ! fered a broken leg during the hna, | period of play, and Hallowell replaced him. 1t was in the second quarter Of play that Lehigh opened its forward pass attack. Chenoweth throwing and Saw telle receiving proved combination which made Roadway down the field at a rapid gait. Moseley had recovered Maginnes’s tumble on the Yale 43-yard / line, but Bentley fumbled almost on the next play and Chenoweth threw the ball to Sawtele for a gain of thirty five yards, and Cahall. standing on Yale’s 25-yard line, booted the ball over for an easy field goal. The third quarter was distinctly Yale’s. Captain W lson returned Ca ! halls kickoff forty-three yards in a wonderful spring which gave Yale a advantage after an’ exchange Of punts. + Scovil tore through the Lehigh line for ten yards, Lehigh was penalized twice for offside and Wilson and Scoyil made another first down.
