FIRST HALF.
Army Wins Toss,

Doe began the game by kicking off
for the Army and Norton woke the
crowd up by beautiful run back of
10 yards. Spenser slipped outside of
tackle for six yards in the next rush
and Doherty made three. Spenser
made more, but the Navy lost 10 by
being penalized for illegal interfer
ence. This was a discouraging Incl
dent and the Navy, failing TO gain in
three plays. Howard punted to the
Army 40-yard line, but the Army
fumbled aud the Navy got the bali.
Spenser made several good gains, two
of six and seven yards respectively,
but both Doherty and Farley lost
ground and a quarter back kick was
resorted to to save the ball. The
Army recovered it, however. and Tor.
ney, Prince and Hill made small
gains in rapid succession. Torney then
punted and the Navy barely held the
ball A quick kick was tried and
Carey, the exist. John s,man, ran it
back 30 yards, but fumbled.
Army Scores on Navy's Fumble,
The Navy again tried quick
kick and this time Carey ran it back
10 yards, but held the ball. Prince
and Doe made yards apiece and Tor
ney punted 80 yards, we'll down the
field, the Navy backs fumbling the ball
and Upton fell on the ball back of the
goal line, scoring the first touchdown
Score-Army, 8 Navy, 0.
The ball was punted out and well
cauhgt and hseled, but Doe missed
the goal The time of the first score
was l3 minutes. So far the Navy has
made more gains than the Army in
straight rushing Spenser is playing
like a demon and rarely fails to make
fine agins, slipping right outside OF
tackle. The Navy rooters are not one
bit discouraged and it is agreed on all
sides that the Navy is in better form
than last year.
Howard kicked off for the Navy and
Mettler ran back yards. On the first
play the Army lost yards for off
side S, but Prince made s yards on the
next. Failing TO gain on the next
play, Torney punted to the Navy's l6-
yard line, and after two short gains
by Spenser and Doherty, Howard punt
ed TO mid-tield. The Army here began
a series of short line gains with Doe,
Hill and Torney carrying the ball and
were also awarded yards for a Navy
player getting off side.
Army Makes Second Touch
down.
Hill and Doe added one yard apiece
and Prince made first down. 1t be-
came perfectly evident at this point
that the game would not be very
different from that of last year.
Prince, Hill. Torney and Doe would
not be denied their short gains and
every line man would steadily force
back his Navy opponent. Doe carried
: the ball over for touchdown with
every man in the play. Score-Army,
10; Navy, 0. Doe kicked the goal.
Score-Army, II; Navy, 0.
End of First Half.
Norton kicked off for the Navy and
Prince ran back 10 yards. The strong
er physiques of the soldiers has begun
TO tell and their gains are greater,
nor are they confined to straight line
plays, an end run being interspersed.
Torney made yards on a fake kick
and Hill yards on an end run. The
Navy was penalized yards for off
sides, caused by the over-eagerness
and Hill and Prince made and 2
wards respectively. These. with a
short gain by Doe, carried the ball to
the centre of the field. Here the
Navy held desperately and Torney
punted to the Navy's1 5-yard line, but
on the first lineup Howard returned
the ball into Army's territory. Hill,
Prince and Doe made several small
gains, carrying the ball TO the Navy's
40 ward line, where the time was call
ed for the half. Score at the end OF
the first half-Army, ii ; Navy, 0.
