Captain Douglas of tlio Navy was ! easily the bright particular star of the game. His tackling was swift and sure. He seldom failed to gain his yards and followed the ball llko n cut. Ills was without a doubt the greatest indlvlduad playing ever seen on any foot ball Held this season. Uague for Navy was a close second. Time time he recovered punts \\ ii.i ii the Army backs fumbled w.ille It was seldom that he failed to nail an Army man in his tracks when going down the Held under Douglas' long kicks. Captain Bevers. for the Army, was everywhere, and had It not been for his tackling and punts Navy would have rolled up a score large enough to have snowed the Army under. In tho punting duel which marked all stages of the game ho easily had the advantage over the Navy Captain. For ten minutes after the close of the game the Midshipmen celebrated victory with the time honored color rush and snake dance. Both cadet bodies left for their respective schools forty minutes after the close of the game. ARMY—0 This frequently happened. During- the remainder of the half the Navy several times got. within twenty yards of the Army goal, but each -time it lost the ball either through fumbling <>r a poor forward pass. Lange. the Navy quarterback,, tried a lleld goal, but was blocked. The second half was more or less listless, play frequently being stopped to enable the trainer to tlx up injured men. Each team constantly punted with the hope of recovering the ball on fumbles In its opponent's territory. • Doug-las went through the West Point line for 'ten yards. A forward pass helped some and another lino play put the ball two yards from the Cadet's goal. The Army braced but the Nav was not be denied. Selecting Douglas to make the try the midshipmen dug their feet into the ground and with a mighty plunge forward carried Douglas with them to what proved to be the winning score. Lange kicked goal. Though they failed to gain "through the Army's line and had to resort to punts, they skinrted the ends time and time again for long gains. The lone touchdown was made after twenty minutes of play when after a punting duel, an Army man fumbled and a midshipman fell on the pigskin on Army's 25 yard line. At precisely two o'clock Captain Beavers of the Army kicked off and relieved the -tension that had held the throng for hours and the Middies and the West Pointers for months. From the time the ball landed in the awaiting arm of the Navy back, it wa« all Navy. Scarcely had the middles become seated when the premier of all yells, the siren yell, was emitted from their midst. The West Pointers responded with A-r-m-y and from that time 011 the cadet bodies hurled yells and defiance across the field, in which the nV.ddles, because of their number, easily outshone their landlubber brothers. At ten minutes to two o'clock the West Point battalion four hundred strong marched upon the field amidst the cheers of the throng. After a brief review they were seated. Immediately following the Midshipman, with double the amount of army m-m, entered in the rear of the Marine Band. After a short review at company front they were wheeled into fours and marched to their seats. distant Secretary of War, Oliver. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and her sister witnessed the contest from a box on the Army side of the field. Before thirty thousand people the the Army fell before the furious onslaught o ft he Navy in the annual foot ball game on the Franklin feld Saturday afternoon. Though outweighed ten pounds to the man the Middies went after their huskier opponents with a dash and spirit that from the very kick-off made them look like winners. The . assemblage that saw the team from the Hudson humbled was truly represntative of the social life of the Army and Navy. The government was represented by Secretary of Navy Metcalf and By United i'reaa.
