Excellent Work Too
Navy brought to a close the local
season on Worden Field Saturday af.
ternoon by blanking the classy and
speedy boys from New York Univer-
sity and thereby keeping their goal
line uncrossed for 1910. The score
was 8 to 0, and the sailors meeting
an Unexpectedly strong team in their
opponets were forced to work their
hardest to pull out the 9-point vic
tory.
The teams fought each other to a
stand still in the first half, neither
being able to effect a score after
twenty-six minutes of actual play,
and the visitors apparently had a
slight advantage in general play.
The Navy coaches had, however, put
in number of players, generally
classed as substitutes, as final try
out to aid them in the selection of
the team that will go against the
West Point Cadets at Philadelphia,
and this, in a measure, was RESPONSE
BILE for the rather poor showing.
But when the teams took the field
at the beginning of the second half,
all of the regulars were seen in the
Navy lineup, viz: Dalton, Brown,
Weems, Rhodes, Gilchrist and Loftin.
Things began to move differently y
soon after the New Workers opened
up play by kicking off to Rodes. And
before many minutes of the third
period expired, the Middies had
worked the leather down to the visi-
tors 10-yard mark, only to meet a
game rally on the part of the Varsity
boys. Dalton's right toe, however.
proved equal to the emergency when
he sent the leather sailing between
the posts, from a distance of eigh-
teen yards, making the first score of
the game.
During the remainder of the per-
iod, and the early part of the fourth
session, the game resolved itelf into a
more of punting dual, between Dali
ton, for the Navy. and Yule, for New
York, and while Dalton's kicks were
generally for longer distance and
better placed, the visitors offset this
advantage by the dashing work of
their backfield men in running back
the kicks, Yule, Eiliffe and Gorsuch
all performing splendidly in this par
ticular.
Each team showed flashes of bril-
liant offensive work, and though the
kicks shifted play from one to the
other side of the field, neither was
able to get we'll within striking dis
tance. The pace soon began to show
on the New Yorkers, however. and
the Miedies, getting the leather about
midfield, after an exchange of punts,
began a rapid.fire attack that
steadily swept the visitors back.
1t was the mighty Dalton, whom the
coaches had practically relegated
to the ranks of the Scrubs, and
McReavy who did most of the
ground gaining, and with the ball
on the 10-yard line Dalton, by a
dash through right tackle, carried
it over for touchdown. Brown
kicked goal, making the score Navy,
9, New York University, 0.
With but few minutes remain
ing for play after that, a couple of
exchanges of kicks followed and it
was all over. 1t was the final game
of the local season for Navy. Their
goal line has not been crossed, nor
have they been scored on at all.
Yule, fullback for New York, play
ed star game, and with his running
mate, they tore through the Navy
line, and circled the ends in a manner
that has not been equaled by any
other team this season, save the Carl
isle Indians. They got their plays
off in dashing style, though there
were times that the Middies threw
them for considerable loss, particu-
larly during the second half. Twice
during the game the Varsity lads
got within the Navy's 30-yard line,
but failing to advance farther Yule
essayed to turn the trick by trying
for field goals, but he failed in each
attempt.
The Navy coaches, as before stated.
made radical changes in the lineup
for purpose, and if the opinion Of
those who followed the work OF
the several players closely, the final
selections for the West Point game
will be about as follows:
Ends-Gichrist and Hamilton.
Tackles-Loftin and Davis.
Guards-Brown and Wright.
Centre-Weems.
Quarterback -Sowell.
Halfbacks-Clay and Dalton.
