This game will be Navy's first major game of the season · This year Yale has shown decided strength in all departments of the game. This past week ~ heir defensive strength was shown by the unability of the powerful Pennsylvania to score. In the offensive phase of the game, Yale's end and captain, Kelly, has been outstanding on snaring touchdown passes; the stellar punting of Colwell has stood out all season; and Ewart in the backfield has been a consistent yardage gainer. However, avy has shown considerable strength herself in her three starts of the season. Schmit and Ingram have been consistent yardage gainers for the Navy football team all season. Schmit is reputed by many to be an all American candidate. The press scribes are of the opinion that in the lines and reserve strength both teams are evenly matched but give Yale a slight edge in the backfield. Both teams will start the game with a clean slate, Yale having defeated Cornell 23- 0 and Penn. 7- 0; whereas, Navy has defeated William and Mary, Davidson, and Virginia. Last year Yale defeated the Midshipmen 7- 6 on the same field. |
