The Army endg were easily put out by the head of the interference. The tackler would be boxed by their op- ponents leaving a regular boulevard for the Navy runner to skid through. Sometimes these plays were good for 8 and 10 yards, West Point's line was reinforced with many substitutes, but were helpless to stop the Navy as- sault. It was old-time rushing. Yet the Cadets were as much taken by sur- prise as though the Sailors had sprung some newfangled formations, The Middies, finding their running game was so effective, tried only two for- ward passes. Both were attempted near the Army's 26-yard line and were long heaves to the goal line, but the Cadets’ secondary defense was alert each time and knocked down the ball The first Navy score came in the second period. After rushing 40 yards the Sailors were stopped when the Army line braced. With the ball on the Soldiers’ 20- yard line and directly in front of the goal posts, Charlie Ring was brought back from the tackle position to kick a placement kick. While Capt. Ewen held the ball, the sturdy middy booted the ball squarely over the crossbars for the first points of the struggle. Again, in the final period, the feat was duplicated in almost the same location, the two exploits putting young Charlie Ring in the same class with John Brown, whose pair of place- ments won for the Navy in 1912, and Jack Dalton, whose single kick trom placement in 1911 triumphed over West Point. Both elevens handled the ball with unusual accuracy, considering the wet conditions, Oniy one fumble was made, A Navy back dropped the ball when sailing out for an end run, but a teammate recovered, so nothing was lost. Gilmour Dobie's coaching contract with Annapolis expires this year. As a great deal of credit for the victory over West Point naturally goes to the head coach, Doble will be asked to return next year and take charge of the middy football squad.
