BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW HAVEN, Conn., October 24. — With one dazzling stroke, an 88-yard run- back of kick-off for 2 touchdown by Quarterback Robert (Dud) Parker, Yale wiped out Army’s freshly won advantage to- day and tied the Cadets for the second straight year in one of the East’s most spectacular foot ball classics. The final score was 6 to 6 as ‘{jle. in a thrilling final quarter, loSt three big chances to break the deaalock. For the first time in years the big Eli Bowl was not filled to capacity for the game, but 72,000 spectators, Wwithin 3,000 of the stadium’s limit, watched the rival elevens set off & series of at- tacking high explosives in the last pe- riod after 45 minutes of listless and scoreless play. Yale's first chance to break the tie went glimmering when Ed Rotan, giant guard, just missed the uprights with the kicking try for extra point. Within barely two minutes the game had produced more drama than the en- tire previous 45. Army's star right end, Dick Sheridan of Augusta, Ga., in the midst of the excitement, was carried off the fleld on a stretcher and taken to a hospital. Yale's captain and bright star, Alble Booth, had feiled to break away and ylelded his post to an under- study, Bob Lassiter of Charlotte, N. C,, who immediately took charge of the Eli offensive where Parker left off.

The first of these two offensives ended when MacLean Willlamson, sub- stitute back, tried a drop-kick from Army's 26-yard line. The ball struck the left upright and bounced back into the end zone.
