LBy Telegraph to The Tribune. !

ANNAPOLIS Nov 23-In the last game the
local grounds for the of 1907, the Mid
shipmen won from the eleven of the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute here this afternoon by
score of u to 0. making touchdown and soal
in each half. The game interesting largely
as giving q line on the Navy team for the great
game with the Army next Saturday, but the Wis
itors put up a stiff defence, though they showed
little ability in carrying the ball While there
were some encouraging indications TO the sup
porters of the Navy, the game it put up this
afternoon was by means a finished one. and
the backfeld showed decided lack of balance
and sustained power.
On the other hand the line was impregnabIe
at least TO the attack which the Virginians were
able to deliver and Dague and Demott, particu-
larly the former, at the ends played with great
brilliancy After thirteen minutes of play in
the first half the Navy scored its first touch
down on a forward pass made from a kick for
nation by Douglas to Dague Toward the latter
part of the half the Navy started at midfeld and
carried the bail for forty-h five yards in a series
of rushes, but lost 1t a tumble on the visitors
10-yard line. The touchdown in the second half
was made by Reifsnider, who had previously
carried the bali for thirty yards. This run was
exceled during the game only by one of Lange's,
which was for forty yards and was made after
the second touchdown Lange kicked both
goals, the last one being very difficult one at
q wide angle.
Captain Smithers. Lieutenant Casad and
George +. Sanford, all of whom have coached
the Army team this season, were among the
interested spectators the side lines The
Midshipmen will start tomorrow to put on the
finishing touches for next Saturday To win
they must rely upon the brilliant individual play
of Douglas and whatever in the way of trick
plays the coaches have been able to develop
The Navy crowd is hopeful but not confident
