NEW HAVEN. Conn., Nov. 3.— (By
Associated Press.)—Sweeping to grid
iron glory It has not known in re
cent years, Yale crushed the Army,
31 to 10, today, and stamped itself
as one of the greatest elevens the
east has turned out this year. A
brilliant throng of 77.000 witnessed
the smashing triumph.
A bewildering, irresistible attack
in the second half swept the rugged
cadets off their feet. West Point
left the field at the end of the first
half with a margin of 10 to 7, chiefly
by virtue of a sensational 69-yard
run for a touchdown by Quarterback
Smythe after the rival teams had
battled on close to even terms. But
the soldiers came back unprepared
for the rush of the blue horde, a
dashing onslaught that carried all
before it for the rest of the game.
Two touchdowns wrere rushed over
by Yale in the third quarter, one on
a spectacular 17-yard dash by Neid
llnger, an outstanding star of the
game, and the other on a forward
pass, Neale to Luman. Doggedly,
courageously the cadets tried to rally,
but they found themselves against
a stonewall defense and a driving
attack that they could not stem. One
more touchdown, the result of a bril
liant 36-yard run by Rlcheson after
he Intercepted a forward pass, and
a dropkick by Mallory in the last
quarter, completed the cadet dis
aster.
Smythe Scores Touchdown
Smythe made his successful dash
after receiving one of Neale's punts
on his own 31-yard line and with
the aid of fine interference. In sprint
ing. first down the side line, then
reversing his field, as his pace-set
ters cut down would-be Eli tacklers.
Smythe twisted and side-stepped his
way across the goal line.
