Though the score looks close, the

Army, for with 4 heavier, team, more
experience and a better seasons rec.

up the Hudson could see nothing but
victory.
After the first few scrimmages it
was seen that the Navy was very

around their ends, they took the Army
off its feet. a
The Army was plainly on the run.
