Ball in Nays Territory.

Swarthmore kicked off and kept the ball
IN Nays territory until after the first
! score had been made. The Navy soon
| discovered that it was poWerless to run
| the bah past midfield, and Douglas began
! to kick almost Immediately upon receiV-
| ing the ball In this however, he about
met his match in Williams, and the inter-
change seldom yielded anything material
| for either side. In the running back of
kicks, however. the Navy was excelled
for the first time this year, and it was
/ O Brien's brilliant run of forty yards
after receiving kick which put the Wis
/ itors within striking distance.
! After a yard or two had been gained
through the line, OBrien dropped back
| and easily lifted a field goal, fifteen min
utes of the first half having been played
/ The Navy kicked off. and after an in
terchangc of kicks. steady gains by Nc
/ Donough and Pritchard through the line
and an end run of Williams for Is yards
carried the ball to the Navy 6-yard line
! from which McDonough carried it over.
! During the half Swarthmore twice got
the opportunity Of trying a place for field
goal, but Williams attempts fell short
| both times.
! Swarthmore got In position for a drop
kick in the second half mainly through
Douglas letting one of Williams punts
get by him, the ball landing on the
| Navy's 5-yard line. Douglas punted and
the ball was run back to the 30-yard line
from which the Quaker quarterback lifted
| another goal. A blocked kick put Swarth-
more in position for O'Brien's third field
goal. Toward the latter part of the game
| the Navy team was utterly played out,
| and more decisive and continuous gains
were made through its line than had been
| accomplished for the two years past. The
! Midslipmen played with their accustom-
| ed pluck until the end. but were absolute
| ly outplayed and beaten.
New Tactics Ignored
| There was very little attempt at play
under the new rules. Both teams at
! tempted something in the way of on-sde
kicks and forward passes early in the
game, but in nearly every case the play
/ resulted in being intercepted or striking
the ground and penalizing the team at
/ tempting It. Only once did the Midship-
men make a substantial gain, a run of
/ douglas in the first half on a fake kick
and the Navy could not do anything in
the way of running back kicks.
Outside of the brilliant work of OBrien
there was none of the visitors whose
work showed out with particular bril-
| liancy. but the whole team showed SPLEEN
did coaching and training, and their help
/ ing of the runner and teamwork We're
specially notable. The Navy lost to a
| heavier and better team and the fact is
admitted However, the team and its
friends have not lost heart and will go
to work to show different team when
| Pennsylvania State is met next Saturday.
