Arnry Defeats Ndvy
 Hu Very Tame Fight


 for the cadets by coming through in a flash. He grabbed the ball. and clutch ing it as mother would her first born, made for the Navy goal line Amid q tumult of uproarious shouting, Chamber lain,a long and lanky, hustled his way, lodging, wriggling, running like deer through the broken field. But Lange, made of steel springs. followed after him like shot. and by a supreme effort dived head foremost and nailed the flying Army man on the Navy's three-yard line.
 Over on the Army side 10000 delirious rooters were bordering on hysteria. There was a conference in which Captain Northcroft called upon his men to hold for their lives. But Captain Philoon of West Point was equally in evidence. Creole was tried on a line smash which netted one yard. With the ball on Navys 2-yard line, on a mass formation of the NaVy's right Dean, the Army right half back, was showed, damned and pushed over the furiousy fighting middies for clean-cut touchdown. The suddenness of the play instantly changed the whole situation. After Dean, grimy but tri- umphant, had been put on his feet by his joyous teammates. he kicked a perfect goal. The score was now Army 6, Navy 0, and the West Pointers were filled with new confidence.
 Lange Retreves Himself.
 Navy was stunned py the sudden and unlocked for tragedy. Old seadogs covered over with gold lace and the orange and blue colors of Annapolis hurled forth hoarse cries to Tear 'em up, Navy; tear 'em up'
 With a unanimity nothing short of marvellous, women and men rose to their feet and shouting the siren yell. implored r.rff a,,d fR IIryh West Point for a touchdown Navy came back valiantly. Working like a well-oiled machine, the Sea fought an advance into Army territory. The Army line, explained by the brilliant Philoon, held for time. But Navy kept banging away, fighting like demons The fight ranged up and down the field for 15 minutes. Lange once set the middies wild by a sen- sational 30-yard run into the enemys bailiwick, following a running catch of a punt. Immediately following this run Lange started sending his men crash ing into the line. Walton. Clay and Richardson were gaining consistently and the Army rooters were imploring their men to hold. Army fought back with courage and desperation, but Lange had finally got the ball on the Army's 15- yard line. fake kick in which Lange gained eight yards through the Army left put Navy in striking distance of the West Point goal. But Philoon and his men held for a second down.
 Standing alert of the Army 17-yard line, Lange had the pigskin shot back to him. With q well-drected booting of his right toe he sent the pigskin through the air like 13-inch shell over the enemy crossbars and between the goal posts for a perfect goal from placement. That made the score to in the Army's fla vor. The Navy now believed that they would win and started in to play West Point off It's feet. From that period until the end of the half the ball varied Navy was endeavoring to force a West Pointer to tumble a punt. Both sides kept up continual bunting duel but West Point would be led into no traps and while losing an average of 10 yards on ah ex- change of punts, never got herself in trouble.
 Between the Halves.
 When the first half ended, despite the fact that Army was ahead, the result seemed in doubt, with chances favoring Navy.
 There was much comment that the Navy had not resorted to the forward pass and the on-side kick, of which they were touted as masters. Lange showed marvellous speed but he was weak in the handling of punts.
 High jinks ensued when the battered warriors left the field during the inter- mission. The Navy band, garbed in blue and red, began blazing away at a fright full rate while over on the Army side the khaki covered musicians played as the cadets sang and cheered.
 While the bands were playing Mrs. Roosevelt, the first lady of the land, was holding a reception in her box. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, always a sympa- Ar-s- 4. ..I belief by the charming Miss Ethel Roose- welt, who is a warm friend of the Army. Miss Helen Taft was on the Navy side.
 Between the halves Secretary of War Wright called upon Secretary of the Navy Metcalf and then MT. Metcalf walked over to the Army side amid cheers by both parties to the controversy.
 When Referee Evans blew his whistle for a resumption of play Army was de- lending the west goal. Everybody was on the qui vive for something startling and sensational. It had been said that Navy would spring some new tricks of the new football. Both teams started in slambang at each other.
 Lanse's Bad Judgment.
 There never was fiercer tackling than throughout this second half. Man after man was laid out. Both teams wanted to win and fought like tigers to achieve that end. Navy finally did electrify the onlookers when, after the inevitable ex- change of kickc Lange executed beau tiful forward pass to Jones, his right end. Ten yards were gained on the play, but Lange was next to his bunting tao tics and Creole would respond in kind for the Army.
 All through this half the ball went back and forth in the exchange of punts. Navy would frequently punt on first
