Defeats George Washington FIFTY-EIGHT-YARD MARCH RESULTS IN A TOUCHDOWN West Pointers All But Halt Opponents at Goal Line And Come Dangerously Near Tying Score Near End of Contest. BY WALTER CAMP. in mud and most of the time P OLO GROUNDS, New York, November 26—Playing on a field deep in a driving rain, Navy defeated the Army this afternoon in-annual service game by the score of 7 to 0, but the Annapolis boys came dangerously near having the score tied on them in the last few minutes of play. With the ball in Navy's possession near her own goal line, she was forced to kick on the fourth down and the punt was partly blocked and recovered by an Army man on Navy’s 30-yard line just before the final whistle blew. Line-Up and Summary. The only score of the game came late in the second period, when Navy oarried the ball over for a touchdown after working it down the fleld from the Navy 42-yard line. It was the only time during the game that Navy's vaunted attack was in smooth work- ing order, and for a moment it seemed that even this effort was destined to fail in the very shadow of the goal, when the Army line held like a stone wall, and after the fourth down play it was necessary to measure to determine whether Navy had made the distance or whether the ball went over to the Army. It was declared first down, and Navy easily nego- tiated the remaining inches and kick- ed goal Army Starts With Rush. Aside from Army’s spectacular rally in the fourth period, when the West Pointers found a footing and rushed the ball from their own 40-yard line to the Middies' 8-yard mark, being halt- ed on an intercepted forward pass, the Soldiers showed their best attack in the first five minutes of play. They really surprised the Navy the way they started off, but, once stopped, they were never dangerous until near the finish. It is ceratinly a shame that these big foot ball games which wind up the season should be be visited with weather which nullifies half tne long acquired skill of the season. For two years it has been the, fortune of Pitt and Penn State to heet under such conditions, and the Army-Navy games have not been exempt. This time the weather was 50 bad that it is difficult to put fiar measure upon the forward pass- & ability of the two teams at least. It was known in advance that the Navy had the more powerful running offense, and if the Army were to answer that, it probably would be through the medium of the forward pass and judiclous placing of kicks. In this latter respect the West Point team certainly made good in spite of a slippery ball, for Woods' kicks were long, high and on several occa- sions beautifully placed. In fact, he nullified a considerable portion of the Navy superiority in the running of Barchet by these timely kicks. Cadets® Shift Successful. When the game opened the Army team gave the Navy eleven and all their partisans a big surprise by run- ning up with a double shift, taking a leaf right out of Notre Dame’s book. And, more than that, the shift was successful. The West Pointers car- ried the ball straight up to midfield and into Navy territory before they were checked. It made the Navy sympathizers very anxious when they saw one side of their line practically smothered with this heavy interfer- ence and the agile French coming through for big geins. Finally the Midshipmen succeeded in halting this rush and then began in earnest themselves. Barchet then showed his caliber, both through the line and out around the fianks, his play just over tackle proving .a big ground gainer all afternoon. The West Point tackles played alto- gether too high for Barchet, and time and again were helpless against his play. while their secondary defense was obliged to do the lion’s share of stopping it. Outside of French, the Army team seemed, after the first five minutes, to have neither plays nor men for consecutive gains. In the second period the Annapalis boys began to gather in the yardage even more consistently, and finally, very near the end of the half, they suc- ceeded in getting right upon the Army’s goal line. But here they seemed to lose their punch, or rather their selection of plays was bad, Be- sides that the Army line and back- fleld were fighting desperately, much so that in four hard plays th Navy came 8o near losing the ball that the final distance had to be measured, and first down was only gained by inches. But after the measurements had given the Navy four more downs to go the few re- maining, it was.all over, for not even the fighting Army line could stall off a touchdown. Navy's Margin Slender. 8o it was that the Navy finally went into the lead—a lead that, as it turned out, won the game for them. But how tenuous that lead proved to be only the beating hearts of the whole Navy assemblage told in the last fe minutes of the struggle, when, in the gathering dusk, the Army team was Tight down at the Navy goal, and again, when the Navy had finally checked the desperate onslaught, they themselves were powerless to work the ball out. Twenty-two mud-begrimed men fought in that little space line, one eleven to hold that seven-point lead, the other to tie the score. And_th Army came mighty near tying it. Just by their attack and the wonderful run of French, which carried the ball down there, by checking all attempts of the Navy to work out, and finally by partially blocking the last kick on the fourth down. ‘When the crowd, nine-tenths of whom oould see nothing of the play in the last few minutes on account of the mist and the darkness, heard the sound of that blocked kick those who were Navy adherents felt their hearts Stop beating, while those who were rooting hard for the Army rose with 2 voar of delight. But the kick was only partly blocked, and went far enough out into the fleld to save the Navy a tied score. Middies Courted Disaster. It was a frightfully slender margin for those who had been betting two to one on the Navy. Without detract- ing in_any way from the credit due West Point for their final brace, and to French for his great run that started it, it must be said from a foot ball standpoint that the Na left themselves terribly open to sucl a disaster by taking out a runner and kicker and leaving themselves without any weapons of defense should a pinch come. And it did come, 2nd then they had nobody who could the ball away from their goal line and nobody could kick it far enough to relieve the pressure. The passing of Larsen was excellent and his defensive work capital. For the most part the Navy line took care of such attack as the Army present- od with the exception of the double shift and the running of French be- hind that play. The Navy's kicking was only fair in the average, and at the end was very weak. It is hard to ticise the forward passing on but it had ;°u’p.%'{° u 2 capable made himself Fumbles Were Excusabla.

So ended the foot ball season of 1921, a season that from first to last has drawn more people than ever be- fore in the history of the game and one in which the play has made great strides and has shown hundreds of high-class players to dozens some decades ago. NAVY TEAM WILL LOSE SIX OF ITS STAR MEN ANNAPOLIS, Md., November 26.— Navy's triumph over Army in the annual foot ball struggle today, was received with wild enthusiasm among local fans who stayed at home, large- ly because they were unable to get coveted admission cards, and by peo- ple of the town generally. The re- sult puts Navy one game in the lead, the middies’ victory last year having made the series even at eleven each and one game resulted in a tie. ‘The middies will suffer the heav- iest losses in years by graduation next June, as six members of the team belong to the first class. The coaching staft will, therefore, have its work well cut out for them in building a machine for the 1922 campaign. Those who will graduate are Capt. Larsen, center; Frawley, right guard; King and Wiedern, tackles, and Crulse and Koehler, hacks. TOLEDO-CHICAGO SCHOOL CONTEST IS SCORELESS CHICAGO, November 26.—Scott High School of Toledo battled Lane Tech- nical School to a scoreless tie here this afternoon. The visitors outplay- ed the Tech~ throughout - the’ ritory most of the time. A muddy field slowed down the play-: ing of both teams and fumbles were frequent. The game developed large- 1y into a punting duel, with neither team gaining much ground. Big Offer to McMillin. DALLAS, Tex., November 26.—*“Bo” McMillin, quarterback and captain of the Centre College eleven, will coach the Dallas University team next year, if what is said to be the most at- tractive offer ever made to a youthful gridiron star is accepted.

EAST AND WEST SPLIT INSCHOOL GRID GAMES FITCHBURG, Mass.,, November 26.— The Proviso High School foot ball team of Maywood, IIL, defeated Fitch- burg High in an intersectional game here today, 13 to 6. ‘The visitors tore through Fitch- burg’s line for big gains in the early part of the game and before Fitch- burg’s defense was strong enough to stop the plunges Proviso had scored two touchdowns. Fitchburg got its touchdown in the second period. ‘HAVERHILL, Mass., November 26.— Two touchdowns scored in the first period by St James' High School of this_city, were enough to defeat the de Paul Academy eleven of Chicago here this afternoon. The score was 14 to 7. Burke of de Paul fumbled the first kick-off of the game, which Hollo- way recovered for St. James, and Moynihan, the local quarterback, car- ried the ball over. The second tally came a few minutes later, when Tanian blocked a de Paul punt and Buckley mede the score. A series of forward passes in the third period gave the visitors their touchdown. GALAXY OF GRID STARS IN PRO CONTEST TODAY THLETES who have made gridiron history are to show their wares A in the professional foot ball game at American League Park this afternoon. Canton’s famous Bulldogs, visiting Washington for the first time, will offer members of Walter Camp's great all-American family and a host of stars of somewhat lesser magnitude. The local squad has been augmented for the occasion and also will send into the engagement a_member of a former select eleven and another player who was a stellar hght with one of the greatest foot ball combinations ever developed. At o’clock these luminaries of the king of fall sports are to swing into action in what should be the best professional grid- iron contest ever viewed in this city. All-American talent due to appear for the Bulldogs includes Pie Way, Penn_State’s great back last year; Bob Higgins, an end at the same col- lege two seasons ago; Hi West, Col- gate tackle, who made the Camp eleven in 1916 and 1919, and Pete Henry, massive tackle, who starred at Washington and Jefferson in 1917. ‘With these men in the Canton line- up will be Osburn, Penn State, guard; Speck, Canton sandlotter, center; Ed- wards, Notre Dame, guard; Steele, Harvard, end; Kempton, Yale, quar- terback; Griggs, Texas, halfback, and Smith, Centre, fullback Loeals Acguire Two Stars. ‘Washington has acquired Pete Ca- lac, who performed marvelously with Carlisle; Joe Guyon, one-time American player at Carlisle and Georgia Tech, and Johnny Gilroy, one of the best backs of the country while at Georgetown. These men also are members of Jim Thorpe’s Cleveland team. Tim Jordan, manager of the Senators, does not intend to have these men in the opening line-up, but it’s dollars to doughnuts they will get into the fray. The locals will begin the game with Patterson, U. 8.

NEW PLAN AT HARVARD FOR ALLOTTING TICKETS CAMBRIDGE, Mass., November 26.— There will be a new deal in the al- lotment of seats for the next Yale- Harvard foot ball game in the sta- dium, two years hence, the Harvard Athletic Assoclation announced to- day.

BROOKLANDERS, IN STRONG FINISH, WIN GAME, 19 TO 7 Outplayed by Good Margin in Early Stages, They Later Flash Some Clever Forward Passing and Deceptive Running Attack. BY H. C. BYRD. D ISPLAYING a clever forward passing game and deceptive running attack, which kept baffling the defense, Catholic University over- came a 7-to-0 lead and defeated George Washington in the an- nual gridiron contest between the two institutions in the Central stadium yesterday afternoon, 19 to 7. It was the final contest of the local season. In the opening period the Hatchetites seemed stronger than their op- ponents, gaining on exchanges of punts and outbrushing them easily, but in the second quarter the Brooklanders were successiul with a long forward pass, which put them within five yards of the goal, from where the ball was carried over, and after that the trend of the play was nearly all C. U’s way. The first quarter was just about as desultory an affair as one could imagine in a college foot ball game. Penalties were frequent, one player | Jowi.. S | Hughes. was ejected becabise of pugnaciou tendencies, and that much time was taken up in various kinds of confer- ences between players and officlals, between officials, and of the players themselves. So much delay ooccurred that spectators began to lose interest, except those whose partisan feelings kept them keyed up. To begin, the | game was delayed forty minutes in starting, the kick-off being advertised at 2 o'clock and not taking place until Interesting at Outset. The first five minutes of the contest were interesting. Both teams jogged on the fleld and started play with plenty of vim, but it was not long before more delays occurred. George Washington, toward the end of the first quarter, aided by a penalty of half the distance to the goal line when G. McCarthy was put out of the game, got its offensive working, and, with the help of another penalty which put the ball on C. U.'s one-yard line, rushed across the goal for the first touchdown. Springston took the ball across on a play off tackle. Hughes added the one point by booting the goal. During the remainder of the quarter and for_more than half the second George Washington did not have much trouble holding the Brooklanders. However, with most of the second quarter a thing of the past, Coach Robb's men from the 30-yard line made a successful long forward pass, which was caught on George Washington's 5-yard line. Tnable to gain through the line, Curran slipped around the Hatchet- ites’ left end and slid across the goal near the side line just as he was tackled by Springston. Lynch missed the goal, and the half ended with G. W. U. one point in the lead. C. U. Goes to Froat. In the third quarter Catholic University received the kick-off, and after an exchange of punts the Brooklanders found themselves in possession of the ball on their own 45-yard line. Here Curran worked a delayed pass and ran through the split George Washington line to the 3-yard mark, where he was tackled from behind. The Brooklanders were thrown for a loss on three consecu- tive plays, and on a successful for- ward pass, with the goal line to go., the Brooklanders fell short by one yard. Leohler then kicked out from be- hind his own goal posts to the 32- yard line. Curran made a fair catch and elected to try a free placement. On the attempted kick the ball hit a George Washington player and bounded into Lynch’s arms. The C. U. man ran to the 6-yard line, from where the ball was taken across on a 4-yard gain by C. McCarthy, a no gain by Curran and another 4-yard drive by Curran. Buckley kicked the goal. Pass Nets Final Score. Catholic University made its touch- down in the fourth quarter on a long forward pass, Curran to Corwin. The Brooklanders appeared stalled at the 18-yard line, after having recovered a fumbled punt. They lined up for what seemed to be a drop kick across the field to Corwin. Loehler attempted to cover Corwin, but the ball went over his head into Corwin’s arms, and the C. U. end dropped to the ground for & touchdown. Buckley missed the goal Catholic University missed getting a touchdown in the first quarter only because of a penalty. Curran got loose and ran from the 40-yard mark across the Hatchetites’ goal However, he was called, and a ty inflicted on his team. Postponement of any kind of a con- test takes away some of the interest, and yesterday's game undoubtedly suffered somewhat from that fact. Except for the desultory play in the first quarter and the delays, the game had much in it which should have stirred enthusiasm. Curran's fine runs on delayed passes, two brilliant forward passes, Which resulted, one indirectly and the other directly, in touchdowns, and some _excelient passes by Springston all contributed to make up foot ball of the kind that usually holds spectators in rapt at- tention. Victory Is Deserved. . Catholic University won because it injected into its play a greater fight- ing spirit and produced a better of- fense. Its line was outplayed con- siderably in the earlier stages of the game, but toward the end it was out- fighting the Buff and Blue forwards. Jawish of George Washington put up a remarkable game at left guard, but played so hard and so well in the first three quarters that he did not have much t in the fourth. He was the outstanding figure among the Hatchetite forwards, despite the Line-Up and Summary. z(.kn. ‘Wash.
