ment over the West Point goal line,
walton, the sturdy right ~haliback OF
the midshipmen. succeeded on ms

which he had been striving for looked
good to the navy, and proved to DC
sufficient to win the game.
II was 4 pretty Kick, squarely be-
tween the goal posts, and was made
toward the end Of the last period or
play. The kick almost broke the
army's heart, but true to the tradl-
tons Of the teams that have 1ought
for West Point before them the army
stuck TO it, ana did not show the white
feather.

one from 26 yards and the other from
"a. and one mighty effort 81 yards
from the army goal. All but three
carried 10 the goal line, but the stun
wind from the northwest carried the
BAN to one side of the goal posts.
The frequency with whlch resort
was made to this method OF attempt

The midshipmen played a / OIL
fensive game and there were rev
times throughout the six minutes on
action that the midshipmcn did not
have the cadets on the defensive.
