IGHT WELL HAVE COPPED| [F—=w Favoring Break or Dry Day Probably Would Have Reversed Result for Fiercely Fighting and Cleverly Ceached West Pointers. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. THERE is to be noted today a tendency among those Army men, ULV NN vy who, in their day at West Point, played foot ball, fo examine rather closely the fool ball system at the Military Academy which in the past three years has produced teams that have lost the annual service classic to the Navy. It is to be hoped that in this process they will not lose sight of the fact that on Saturday the Army coaches pre- sented a team that fought as never a team has fought, an eleven skilled in the fine points of technical play, an eleven which held one of the strongest, most perfectly geared machines in this country to a single touchdown. Indeed, so fierce was the play of men physically inferior to their opponents, so indomitable their poise and so well conceived their scheme of attack that a favoring break or two—or say, a dry day—might well have enabled them to win this game. It is so easy to observe & foot ball game and be impressed by salient ) events and surface incidents, ignor- ing or totally missing many signifi- cant elements which, though subordi- less of extreme importance in giving one the true values of any closely What might have happened, for ex- | the deciding factor.

The Middie punter was poor. 1t is almost a certainty that the Cadets would have had the ball in their possession within excellent striking distance of their rival's goal. Tnstead the Army accepted an off-side penalty. Again, in the third period when through a gain on punts the Army had the ball on the Navy's 40- vard line, averything set to oven up a really effective rushing atta°k, the ball was lost on a fumble on the first play. A low pass was partly respon- sible for the dropping of the slimy ball. batween the Canton Bulldogs and the Washington Senators. which the former won, 15 to 0. In Walson, Calac, Gilroy and Joe Guyon, the lo- cals had a backfleld that comgcred favorably with Robb, Slackford, Smith and Falcon of the visitors, but the latter quartet was made to look bet- ter by the superbperformance of the Canton forwards.

He was downed behind his line for an 8-yard loss. A line plunge gained 5 ‘yards, then a forward pass was intercepted behind the goal line. The story of a great-hearted fight ends at this point. The Navy found it ex- pedient to use up the precious sec- conds that remained in rushing and not give the Army the ball on a punt bound to the poor. The game cam: to an end after a miserable kick on fourth down had given the Army the ball on the Navy 30-yard mark. It was gallant. It showed how small was the margin between the two elevens. Some aver that on a dry fleld the Navy would have rolled up & larger score. That is doubtful. Undeniably the Navy had power, but her plays, driven from tandem and long and short punt formation, were more dependent upon power than the Army's, which were marked by greater deception, especially inside of tackle. The Navy's long suit was a short barely missed a placement goal from he 45-vard line. The Mohawks came to life in the second half and twice got within the Mercury 5-vard line. On each occasion a stubborn Mer- cury defense prevented further ad- vance. The Indians’ first chance to count was in the third period. With the ball on the 4-yard line at first down, the Mohawks got only 2 yards in four rushes. In the fourth period ®|the Indians recovered a Mercury fumble on the 4-yard line. Line plays failed and on the fourth down Ganey intercepted an Indian pass and dashed nearly to midfield before being downed. ‘The most interesting feature of the contest was the p\mtlnf el between Sullivan of the Mercuries and Bjork- land and Watt of the Indians. Sul- livan got more distance with his kicks, but the advantage ‘was offset by the runs of Bjorkland, Taylor and Clarkson, receivers. Ganey and Sul- livan played best for Mercury.

But in the second half the right side guar- dians of Army prestige nosed out the drives and matched the impenetrable left. Forward passing, due to the slimy ball, was pretty well out of the question. ‘Army punting superiority could have been more effectively used as an offense had the day been dry. All in all,.the game technically left no ground for criticism It was one of the best, if not the best in this re- spect, that the two service insitutions have played. (Copyright. 1921.)
