His to- tal for this season was swelled by his runbacks of punts and kick-offs for 461 yards. Booth' trailed his understudy, Bob Lassiter, this season in the yardage gained from scrimmage.

On | third down on three distinct occasions |1t ran the ball within 6 or 7 yards of the side lines and was compelled to punt from that position. As a result | the ball twice went outside for omly short official distances, whereas it ac- tually traveled about three times that | far. In other words, if Navy had made those punts from somewhere near the middle of the fleld it would have profited ‘on those three kicks alone a distance of perhaps 60 or 70 yards. And no other ground in a foot ball game is won with such little expenditure of energy. Army’s first score was made as & re- sult of brilllant work by Stecker, who seemed, near the end of the half, to become imbued with an almost super- human desire to score. With the ball in the middle of the fleld, and 7 yards to make on third down it seemed | that Army again was going to be | forced to punt. But a lateral pass, the | first time tried, was called, and, on a fake reverse, the ball was tossed to | Stecker sweeping around the strong side. He ran 15 yards and came within an ace of going for a touchdown. On | the next play he tossed a forward pass to Kopesak, and the latter carried the |ball to the'1l-yard mark. Army then could not gain, but it was close enough for a fleld goal, which cleared the bar by not more than 10 or 12 inches. If one fault could be found with the superb defense put up by Navy, it was in the failure of the forwards to rush Stecker harder when the Army back was forward passing. Too much time was given him to pick out his man. Possibly, this was partly due to Army's good | blocking and partly due to the fact that Navy used two linemen at times to cover flat passes. Navy Scores Spectacularly. Few prettier plays ever have been made on a foot ball fleld than that which resulted in Navy’s touchdown. The ball was on Navy's 45-yard line and close to the side lines. A forward | pass was called for when it seemed that | Navy was too close to the right-hand | side” line to make good such a pass. Probably Army thought so too, because the play crossed up completely the Army defense and threw Elliott clear, Kirn threw the ball exactly. 49 yards, Elliott catching it on the 6-yard line and running unhindered across the goal. That touchdown put Navy..back in | the game, and, while the Army was | ahead by three points, it still seemed | anybody’s game. But after Navy got | the break in the fourth quarter which it failed to make good because it lost 10 yards on the next play, Army started | & tremendous drive, with'Stecker doing | virtually all the ball carrying.. He ran | wide, sliced off tackle, drove through center and seemed to be in one of these high moments' that make foot ball players great, and before he got through he had carried the ball from his own | territory to Navy's 1-yard mark. Here Navy made a great stand but on ‘the fourth down the ball went over by inches, i The remainder of the game was Army's. It seemed to be an exemplifi. | cation of the old foot ball adage that | the team with the greatest experience ' will somehow in most of its games find a way to make the breaks and come | through. However, it was a fine Navy | team, even in defeat at the hands of what probably is the strongest eleven that ever came out of West Point. Line-ups and Summary, Army (17).
