THIRTY THOUSAND ATTEND 1

Philadelphia, Nov. 2s.--In one of the fercest football games on Franklin Field this year. the Army vanduished the Navy this afternoon by the. narrow score of to "a touchdown and goal against goal from the field.
 Thirty thousand persons saw the husky cadets from the Hudson conquer the sturdy midshipmen from the Sev- ern in a contest that never Jagged. The naval boys were fairly overwhelmed by the power shown by the West Point cadets. The Annapolis boys entered while the West Point cadets only hoped to win.
 The Army's victory, notwithstanding the strength shown, was due more to a misJudged punt, by one of the Navy's backs than to the good work of the team. but 1t took advantage of the misplay and lost no opportunity in making the score. The Navy's four points, however. were earned by hard and consistent playing.
 The teams were evenly matched The defensive play of both was all that could be desired. Neither team could make much impression on it's oppon- ient's line and in fact they both played a kicking game. Two forward passes and two on-side kicks were the only so-called modern plays attempted and of these, only one forward pass, by the Navy. was successful.
 The day was ideal for football and a brilliant crowd was out to see the fray.
