NOR TON MISSES GOAL

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 2S.-The Navy team
lost to Swarthmore here this afternoon
by a score of to s. it being not only
the first defeat but the first time it has
been scored upon this season.
narrow margin of a goal kicked and
missed separated the teams. for Gro
well kicked the goal after McDonouRh
had scored for the visitors in the flrst
half, while Norton missed an easy goal
after Ghormley had scored a touch
down. the only score made by either
team in the second half of the game.
Crowell kicked off and the Navy
backs ran up against an immovable
human wau. Ghormley punted forty
yards to Swarthmore's 3o-yard line,
where the procession to a touchdown
began.
Maxwell on Hand.
McDonough and Prichard were the
most regular gamers. but when a yard
or two were needed the mighty Maxwell
was intrusted with the task and he
never failed. sometimes pulling OF sew
eral more yards than necessary.
The plays were carried OF without
the senblance OF a tumble until, with
out losing the ball. McDonough was
pushed over for a touchdown and Gro
well kicked the goal.
Norton kicked of and Crowen ran the
ball back twenty yards. Barrett, Prich-
ard, McDonough, Maxwell and Mill
man carried the bali nearly to the CEN
ter of the field, but Swarthmore was
penalized fifteen yards for starting be-
fore the ball was snapped.
Nothing daunted. the visitors executed
a double pass from Crowell to Pritc hard,
after a quarterback run. and just made
the first down. After two more gains.
Crowell attempted a goal from the field
Just as time was called. It was passed
high, however. and did not get anywhere
near It.
A Clever Play.
The play which put the Navy within
striking distance OF their opporents'
goal occurred a little past the middle
of the half, and was a remarkable one.
The Navy received the ball after Crow
ellis punt, and being utterly unable 10
gain, Ghormley also punted. The bali
was only partially stopped by Swarth-
more player. and continued to go for
ward. Piersol falling on it less than
twenty yards OF the goal line.
The Navy was given five of this 70.
Swarthmores offside play. and by much
effort. Ghormley and Piersol carried the
ball in two rushes to the 4-yard line.
from which Ghormley carried the hall
over
The demonstration by the Midshipnlen
after this splendid work was immense,
but it was changed to sorrow when Nor
ton unaccountably missed an easy goal.
The Navy kicked.off and in the seven
minutes of play which remained,
Swarthmore had succeeded in carrying
the ball past the middle of the field.
