FAR back down the field that the mddies
could not possibly have rushed it down

PROVES 4 COSTLY FOUL.
When Howard made his beautiful
punt his ends rompcd down the field

try to rush the ball up the field again.
But there was some one on the army
team who did not intend that at least
one of the ends should even get near
the army quarterback. who was play
ing IN the deep field. This player
could not be identified in the dark
ness from the stands but as one of the
navy ends reached the army's 40-yard
line. he was suddenly tripped and sent
head long over and over along the
slippery turf.
On tho instant the umpire horn
footed across the field. Mr.. Wrenn had
plainly seen the Offense, and had i'm
mediately called a halt. Under the
rules the ball went to Annapolis on
tho spot when the tripping was com
mittcd. And in addition to this the
navy team was given Is yards for the
offence. which is considered one of the
most unnecessary bits of roughncss in
football and is penalized accordingly.
THIS WAS NAVY'S CHANCE.
| In less than five seconds the navy
WAS given another chance. Not only
| had they gained 80 yards on the play
but the ball was in their possession
again. and with the goal lnc now

through and through. and in sever
plunges the middics carried the bal
straight down the field and under thu
army posts. When the gonl was kicked
