BOB BLAKE IS THE HERO

Annapolis, Md, October 12.-(Special.)- Outplayed on her own 1eld, with her best eleven on the firing line, harassed and worried where she had expected to do all the harassing herself, the Navy is tonight willing to admit that Wander bt is in the class. The tie score, to 6, is misleading.
 Lined up, team for team, with luck even and equal conditions it might be said that Vanderbilt should have won by F to 0. and this score represents the relative merits of the two teams This is, too, with admittedly the best team in the Navy's history.
 Never in all my football career" said Coach Dan McGugan, ''have seen a team as badly treated or as unfairly pen alized as Vanderbilt was today
 Officials were selected by Annapolis and time and again Vanderbilt was pen alized without excuse.
 For the first eight minutes of play the Vandy line was unsettled and nervous, and two consecutive fumbles by Costen and Vaughn Blake gave the Navy the ball. which they proceeded to rush down the field for a touchdown. Then the boys from Dixie pulled themselves together.
  them at every point, always eager to im- pose a penalty, whether deserved or not, the great McGugan machine started its march for the goal from it's own 20-yard line. First the brilliant Campbell, who fought and played like an uncaged demon all the way. would crash outside of tackle for five yards Then Craig would add five more, and then Bob Blake and Costen would alternate around either, and xul Da Morton Variad tho 1O,,o assault by crashing through the center for five, eight and ten yards more. When the Navy's 25-yard line was reached the Orange and Gold wall held stoutly, re- gaining the ball.
 Douglass attempted to run it back, but Vanderbilt was not to be stayed. The marine leader was forced to punt, so viciously did the Commodore line and backs repel the Navy assault, and then from the 45-yard line the hurricane march was begun again, with even greater de- termination.
 Craig added another D. and once again, with their goal line in danger, the An napolis team held bravely. Two hard line plunges followed without gain. Bob Blake dropped back, vaulshn Blake shift ed out a bit, darted forward and Bob's pass settled in his arms with only Quar- terback Lange in the way. Darting to the left and then veering in suddenly towards the goal, the wiry little end eluded the amazed shipmen, and when his run was at n end the ball was squarely planted beneath the goal posts and the formidable navy machine had been scored upon for the first time this year. That play with the pass which Bob and Vaughn Blake worked stands out as the greatest of a great game. Stone outplayed his rival at every point. and Bob Blake gained yards on Doug las at every exchange of kicks After the first few minutes the line held in magnificent style, while gaining around the Commodore's ends soon developed into an undertaking too dangerous for the academy eleven to waste further time on.
 The game ended with Wander peril ously near the Navys goal and gaining steadily. Lineup:
