1t was a pretty kick, squarely be-
tween the goal posts. and was made
toward the end Of the last period OF
play. The kick almost broke the
Armv's heart but true 70 the tradi-
tions of the teams that have rought
for West Point before them, the Army
stuck 10 il and did not show the white
feather.
The Navy deserved the victory. for
the midshipmen put up a sterling
game, and Outplayed the cadets from
the initial kiokOff down TO the instant
when Field Judge Fultz threw up his
hand and declared the contest at an
end.
OF Dalton's seven attempts at goals
from the held three were made from
the thirty-yard-line the last or which
succeeded: one from the nineteen-ya
line. one from twenty-siX yards. an
other from thirty nine. and one mighty
effort fifJy-one yards from the Army
goal All but three carried 10 the goal
line. but the stiff wind from the north
ives" carried the ball 10 one side or
ia Nosts.
Dt..h -e star punter OF the Army,
made two attempts at Held goals. one
from the tOrty-fOur-yard line and the
other at forty-five yards, but neither
kick came near score.
The frequency with which resort
was made TO this method OF attempt
ing 10 score was because OF the diff
Guilty each team had in advancing the
ball consistently.
The midshipmen played fine OfTen-
sfve game. and there We're few times
through the sixty minutes or action
that the midshipmen did not have the
cadets on the defensive.
The game viii go down in football

was fought before one of the largest
crowds that ever gathered on Frank
lin field. Every stand was taxed TO its
capacity, the private boxes were filled,
and crushing mass of people choked
up the promenade that surrounded the
four sides of the gridirOn.
In the boxes were many figures ia
miliar in society circles of Washing
ton, New York and Philadelphia. So
far as could be observed, Secretary of
the Navy Meyer was the only member
Of President TafJ's cabinet present. He
rooted hard and successfully for the
Navy, surrounded by a host Of friends
in the north stand, where the midship-
men shouted themselves hoarse for
their team.
Assistant Secretary Winthrop and
a long line OF rear admirGls, captains
and other officers, active and retired,
were also present 20 root for the navy.
In the south stand there was an
equally large number of army officers
In the absence Of Secretary of War
Dickinson because Of the death OF his
son, General Leonard Wood, chief of
stan, upheld the honor of the army.
The box reserved for Mr. Dickinson
has been turned over 10 friends whom
the secretary had invited. but most OF
them, out of respect To the head OF
the war department, did not appear
on the grounds.
The weather was almost perfect foI
football and the vast crowd, be-
decked in the black gold and gray OF
the army or the blue and gold OF the
navy, with a generous sprinkling OF
large yellow chrysanthemums, made a
brilliant and animated picture. The
six companies of cadets i'm their gray
