SATURDAY 'SFOOTBALL GAMES
NAvY'S SCORELESS GAME WITH
BUCKNELL.
A Punting Duel Other Games
Played.


The Naval Academy team. lacking
the services of Capt. Spencer and
Quarterback Norton. were only able
to hold the heavy Bucknell team to
a scoreless game Saturday afternoon.
The game was very largely punting
duel between Strclinger. for the mid
shipmen. and Clark for Bucknell.
The high wind made the light OF the
pig skin very uncertain and there
were number of fumbles. Fnllback
Clark. of BuclSnell, generally received
the Navy punts> and handled them
we'll. When they went high and
dropped in the whole bunch, "A Navy
player generally grabbed the ball.
Both sides came nearest TO scoring in
the first half. The Navy could not
gain many yards in any place be-
tween BucknelI's tackles, but Burg
and Inrgam made substantial gains
just over the ends. With a series OF
these plays, with Richardson occa-
sionally making yard or two at
tackle, the ball was brought sixty
yards TO Bucknell's l0-yard line.
Here, however, a strong stand was
made, Bucknell got the ball on downs
and Clark booted out of danger. Buck
nell received the ball Son an off-side
kick little later in the half and
held ii on the Nayy's 20-yard line.
The midshipmen piled them up for
three plays, however, and the ball
changed ownership.
In the second half, with the advan-
tage of the wind, the Navy expected
to score. However, Clark 5 excellent
kicking prevented it. His punts were
low and hard, and, Notwithstanding
the hard adverse wind, went good
distance in every case. They were ex-
cellently placed and undoubtedly
saved his team from being scored
against. 1t was found that neither
team was strong enough to gain regu-
larly, and the game resolved itself
into exchanges of punts, each side
hoping that tumble would give them
a chance TO score. The game ended
however, with both sides blank. The

Upon the conclusion of the Navy
Bucknell football game Saturday af-
ternoon the Catonsville Country Club
eleven, of Baltimore, defeated the
Plebes, or fourth class of midship-
men, 8 10 0. The Baltimoreans COM
pletely outplayed the new middies,
although the latter showed up strong
at intervals. Two halves of fifteen
minutes each were played, and the
visitors made their score in the sec
ond period, working the ball from the
Navy's 45-yard line across the goal.
The backs were sent into the line for
short gains but it was Small the big
right tackle of Catonsville who was
called upon whenever first down was
needed. Twice he went through the
Plebes' right wing for eight and ten
yards ana IL was ne VINO scored the
touchdown on a plunge in the same
direction when the ball was but three
yards from the goal line. The touch
down was scored close to one side of
the field. Edmonston punted out for
an easier try at goal, but the try for
a fair catch was failure. The lineup:
