New-York tribune., 1910-11-27

the Army lined up on its own 25-yard line,
and nothing disheartened. the black ana
gold and gray took up the fight with re-
newed determination. Hyatt slipped around
Hamilton for five yards and then Dean
punted But the Navy was penalized and
it was West Points ball and first down
again Dean again punted and Seweil
dashed back twenty yards, shaking Off two
tacklers on the way.
Dalton got off a beautiful punt which
Browne took on the bound and started on
a wide run across the field. Rhodes was
on him like a fash and hurled him TO the
ground on the Army's 12-yard line. He was
tackled so hard that the ball bounced out
of his hands and Gilchrist fell on 1t On the
7-vard line The Navy stands were in
frenzy of joy, but before a play could be
called the whistle sounded and the first
half was over.
Third Period.
There was still a brisk wind blowing
when the teams came out for the third
period The Army again defended the west
goal and Dalton kicked off to Browne on
the 5-yard line. The latter flashed back
nearly twenty-five yards before Clay
brought him down. On fake kick Browne
raced around Hamilton for eleven yards
and a first down. Incidentally this was
the first down made by rushing in the game.
Dean followed by driving beautiful low
bounding punt which tied the Navy pack
field into knots. But finally mdshlpnlan
fell on 1t on his own 12-yard line Daton
punted at once to Hyatt, who fumbled put
recovered the ball. After an exchange or
two Of punts Dean made a fair catch on
the Navys 43-yard line. but missed MS at
tempt at goal from placement.
The Navy pat the ball IN play from l'a
25-vard line, but the Army forwards were
over-eager and lost five yards Tor onside'
Rhodes smashed through left guard Tor slA
yards on a fake kick play, and when Dal-
toms punt was fumbled Brown, who had
been playing great game Iel OH 'he oAi'
on the Navys 52-yard line
Rnt worse was in store for the soldiers.
The Navy's offence suddenly got started,
Clay knitted his way between eno ana
tackle for six yards on another fake kick
line plunge play. and Dalton added seven
on a smash through guard. 1t was first
down Rodes had hard work showing
weir hack for three. but Dalton brought
the midshipmen to their feet by ripping
through the other guard for eight yards
and another first down. Clay was stopped
when he tried to gain through Devore, but
Dalton picked up five yards on nerce
cross buck on the same tackle.
With third down and five yards to gain
Dalton fell back as If TO try another goal
from placement Sewell knelt to catch
the ball. Back 1t came and Sewell caught
II hut instead of holding 1t for Dalton to
kick he half turned, then Strengthened up
suddenly and shot the ball squarely over
the line of scrimmage and into the waiting
arms OF Gilchrist. 1t was as pretty a for
ward pass as has been seen on Franklin
Field in any big game this year.
Again it was the Navy's ball and first
down, and II looked as If a touchdown was
assured. But the Army line lived up to its
reputation 1t again became similar to the
aforementioned stone wall, and although
Dalton and Clay ripped through for six
yards in two trials Sewen decided not to
risk another rush. and signalled for Dalton
to try a goal from placement once more
But again he missed it and once more the
Army stands breathed a heartfelt sigh of
relief
But the Army in trouble right away
again. When the ball was brought out
and put in play on their 25-yard line, the
West Pointers spread across the field in
kick formation. Instead of punting Hyatt
tried out of Yost's trick plays, with
disastrous results, for the ball went straight
into the hands of a waiting Navy player
who was downed on the Army's S0-yard
line. At this point Douglass took Mornings
place at tackle.
The Navy backs could make no imures-
sion on the Army line. and Dalton missed
another placement goal There was plenty
of excuse for this failure, for the try was
made from an extremely bad angle The
period ended few moments later with the
ball in the Navys possession on her Award
line.
Fourth Period.
The Navy went back into the contest
with the wind behind them and a deter
