Twice in succession in the third quarter the Navy had punts blocked inside her S-yard mark, the ball each a Navy plaver could recover it. And on that time bounding in such fashion t s right in the same period the Nav: end intercepted a long forward pass and ran to the Cadets' 25-yard mark before he was nailed by the last man who stood between him and a touchdown. These were the thrilling incidents of a contest otherwise dull and drab to the last degree. If either cleven had an attack characterized de- | ception and power it was n eal- | ed. Other than a delaved pass which | sometimes gained a little ground for *h elevens, there was nothing atl 1 elusive about the offense of the ¥vo team | The Na launched her plays from & batkfiell arrangement which saw two backs deploved behind their end: tha other two ks in ta of the center. Nothing much came of | it, and the only un al expedient was a short forward toss from the| number 2 back to the number 1 back s the number 1 back reached the e. The play was desizned to draw the offense in one direction while the ! ball went in another, just as a ¢ croes is intended to do. But it néver| worked. Both Lines Formidable. Both sets of forwards were much too strong for any attack that was £eont against them, and as a result the epectators who had come to be thrill. saw an old-time defensive contest. h from 60 ot 80 vards to g0 to a touchdown, both guarterbacks would send plays into the center of the line on third down. That's the sort of a Bame it was. Neither eloven was in possession of the ball inside the other's 20-yard line at any time. Once when the Army re- ceived a punt from behind the Navy's goal line, which was caught by Smythe on the Middies' 35-yard mark. 2 spirited advance carried the ball to the 20-yard line. After three line plays were stopped the Army tried a 1d goal, the kicker standing on the 30-yard line. The try was a good one, the ball missing only by a few feet. This was the nearest approach to a score throughout the game. The Navy got into this hole through permitting an Army end to fall upon a volling punt inside the Navy's 10- vard line, thus compeliing the Mid- dies to make the punt from behind thelr goal In the third period again an Army punt struck a Navy back, and the Cadets secured the ball on the Sailors 45-yard mark. A series of line plays carried the ball to the Navy's 28-vard line, where the Army advance was stopped flat. Navy Lucky to Get Tie. In the fourth quarter with the Navy in possession of the ball on $er own 18-yard line she attempted to punt. It was blocked.. The Navy racivered on her 10-yard line. She pur.ed eagain and ‘this also twas bloced, but again the Navy secured the bounding ball, this time on her 2-yard mark. The third punt sent the Dball out of danger near mid- field. Tt will thus be seen that al-{ though the Army did not win she was didding to do so upon several oc- casions and the Navy was lucky to escape with a tie. In the first quarter she was never in possesion of the ball nearer than 45 _yards from the Army goal. i In the second she once reached the | Army 82-yard line. In the third, thanks tc the intercepted forward pass, ‘she h: the ball on the Army's 25-vard mark, where a place Kick failed miserably, and > the last quarter she was never nearer he Army goal than the 48-yard mark. | And so far as offense of anv sort| was concerned the Army didnt do nuch better. The defensive play of h teams was superb, but what it woulé have been against more varied £0d harder attack may not be said.

AMBRIDGE, November 24—Well, Yale won over Harvard, as all the experts had predicted, but neither side was a glutton for the kind . of work that it had cut out for it under such weather conditions, and the result was that first downs came only when the referee or ' umpire inflicted a penalty upon the opponents. % It really was a terrible game owing to the frightful weather. A sea of mud and slime, rain falling intermittenly, every So treacherous was the footing i cleats were like roller skates, and in pursuit of a ball that was more elusive than the traditional greased pig the players had a terrible time. And if any one wishes to know what the American public thinks jof foot ball he should have seen the 60,000 maniacal people who waded i through mud and water to the stadium and then for two hours shouted themselves hoarse and never a one of them thought of leaving or of layer sliding about that even deep mud There were as many costumes and adaptations of rubber and oilcloth as appeared many years ago when a Harvard team journeved to Nev Haven and under similar conditions defeated Yale even a little bit worse than the 13 to 0 score today. Naturally there were penalties in such a game. Harvard suffered one of these blows early in the game for roughing the forward passer. But they bravely recovered and by a cou- ple of good punts placed themselves out of “difficuity. And, speaking of forward passes, upon the very few | occasions when either side tried them the passer could hardly gst the throw away, and the receiver had nu chance in the world of holding onto the ball. Pond Grabs Cheek's Fumble. Harvard's punting was astonishing- 1y good, considering the condition of = the bally and footing. During the first half Neale of Yale could not match these booming punts, but still he kept Yale out of difficulties. First period passed and the second opened without either side scoring.

When Stevens went in to punt for the Blue on the second half he had a longer and better driver than Neale had shown and Yale no longer suf- fered in exchanges of kicks. Upon two occasions Yale had less than a . vard to galn for first down but did not take any chances. Stevens kept on the pressure so that for the great- er part of the second half the playing « was In Harvard's territory and try as they would, Fisher's men could not work out into a position that would give them the least chance in the world to score. The back fleld men of each side very wisely let fall to the ground any kick and permitted the ball to do’its little trick of skittering along until it came to rest rather than take any chances with that innocent but - mighty dangerous spheroid.
