BOLLING FIELD TROUNCES NAVAL AIR GRIDIRONERS In accord with their vocation, Aj aviators of Bolling Fleid and m:'x.;-n! bers of the Naval Air Service proved adept at air attack in yesterday's foot ball game between the service elevens, but the Army men were somewhat superior at that style of offense and triumphed, 14 to 0. A 60-yard run by Janewits gave the Army its first touchdown in the sec- ond quarter, and an overhead attack in the final period ended with Gold- ‘water crossing the goal. Aside from the excellent forward passing, the game was enlivened by *he playing of Steffen, Bolling Field center, and Donnelly and Wolfe, Navy backs. These men had their op- ' ponents worried at all times. Ithacans Evidently Count on Downing Penn Eleven ITHACA, N.
