the ends brought the ball to the mid

There were no changes in the teams
when they came on for the second half,
although some of the Annapolis men
showed signs of distress. Annapolis
ran West Points kick off back to the
40-yard line. West Point got the ball
on quarter back kick and an exchange
of punts found the ball in the army
possession on its 20-yard line. The
army tried the centre for three yeards
and Jackson was forced to kick the
ball, being downed on the navy's 81
yard line. Wade kicked to the army's
10-yard line and Wesson ran the ball
back ten yards by pretty lodging. An
other exchange of punts and the ball
was on the army's 20-yard line. Then
the soldiers gave a great exhibition of
line bucking. Without losing the ball
once, the sturdy soldiers pushed the
fighting sailors back from the army's
20-yard line to the middle of the field
and from there right over the Annap-
oils goal line. The navy could not stop
the terrific plunges of the soldiers and
almost every scrimmage sailor would
be laid out. Rockwell, who took
Clarks place, made the touchdown and
Patterson kicked the goal. Score, West
Point, II; Annapolis, O.
The navy kicked off to the army's
30-yard line, one of the army's backs
ran the ball to midfield around the
navy's left wing. Then the army start
ed her line bucking work again, and
did just as she had done few mo-
ments previous, carrying the ball to and
over the navy's goal line without los
ing it or being stopped in her progress.
Rockwell also made this touchdown,
but Bettison failed TO kick a difficult
goal. Score, West Point, II; Annap-
oils, 0.

10 yard line and the soldiers were given

skin to the 10 yard line, where it was
lost to the army on downs, but was i'm
mediately regained on off-side play. On
four scrimmages the sailors took the
