Three times the Army backs ore at the Navy forward wall, but to no avail clable headwa nd the sum total of the three drives was about 4 vards. Then, having stalled off the rushes of creat backs, the Navy was compelled o face Reeder.

Facing him in that situation ot easy, but Reede: and barely went ov mage. However, it was touched by a Sailor and Born of Army recovered it on the S-yard line. To have stalled off the rushes of a great team, to have got away from the menace of a fine dropkicker, then to be compelled to face the same rushes from an even loser position, was discouraging nough to daunt the courage of al- most any eleve: But not Navy. Those future admirals dug their cleats even more firmly in the ground, and, notwithstanding that Hewitt, \Wilson and their mates had the goal ne to make and four attempts to do again turned back their enemy. The net resuit of three Army drives was a loss of 4 vards, and when the Soldiers forward-passed from the 12- \ard line on the fourth down Flippin atercepted the ball and ran out to the 33-vard mark It was heavy fire, but the Navy ore up under it with a fortitude and amina and that stood out as a yre-eminent feature of the contest. “he st out of three trying tuati the first few minutes hs would have had either the ability to over- was st to Score.

The Army-Navy game is no longer | |a game where one teum runs two | | plays ito the line, then punts. | | Chances and more chances are taken | | by both teams. At least they were | | today. In one respect the game was re- { markable for mediocrity of the per- formance—punting. Kicks by both teams many . times were poor and during the whole game not once was | there one of the exceptionally long Ismimls that once or twice in almost every game sail way down into erritory of the opposing eleven. What appeared to be the longest kick of the day from a standpoint of final yardage hardly carried 15 yards while in the air. It was a Nayy boot that went a “mile” in the air, came down, hit on one end and rolled from midfield to the Army i8- vard_line. Such kicking as one of | the Washington high schools had done all during its season would have been brilliant and one of the featur>s had |it been shown this afternoon. | Army Shows Confldence. | The pre.game predictions as to the probable outcome seemed to be re- flected somewhat in the demeanor of the plavers. The Army appeared | quietly confident that it would win | and seemed in every action to feel that way. And it showed the real reason for that confidence by the dash and power it put into its of- | tensive play imediately after the Navy | seored its field goal. Prior to that it had mo: been able to make much | headway against the Navy defense ex- cept for Wilson's run just after the | game started. The Navy, ofi the other hand, seem- | ed to realize it was against a more | capable eleven, but was out there to do, no matter what it was up against. Certain]y no Navy team ever fought harder and no Navy team ever de- served greater credit for that feature of its play. Plenty of Stars. Individual stars there were aplenty. | Hewitt and Wilson—but of them no more need be sald. Daly. Army cen- ter, played a game that. carried | throughout a season, would place him | in the forefront of pivot men. No Navy players seemed to stand out especlally above their fellows, al | though ~ Shapley's defensive play against forward passes was excellent He also was the main cog in his team’s offense. The whole Navy team, though, played with a dogged de- termination that cannot be commended too highly. Interference by the backs of both teams never especially good. Either that or the ends of both teams were out of ordinary. The backs of neither team never seemed able to get an opposing end | out of the play, and more than once | it was because the ends were never really hit. Blocking and charging by the lines was good, as it always Is in Army-Navy games. And very little fault could be found with the tackling. But an' Army-Navy game is just | that, and whatever may be faults of play, whatever may be the heights to | which the teams or players of the | teams as individuals rise, or Whai—} ever the depths to which they fall, the game still is a great one.
