PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.-The Navy
IN a hard and clean game OF foot ball on
Franklin field here this afternoon before
a large and enthusiastic crowd defeated
their old rivals the Army by 3 70 O. After
six attempts to boot the ball from place
ment over the West Point goal line. Dali
ton, the sturdy right halfback OF the mid
shipmen. succeeded on his seventh effort
and the three points which he had been
striving for looked good to the Navy and
proved to be sufficient TO win the game.
1t was a pretty kick squarely between
the goal posts, and was made toward the
end of the last period OF play. The kick
almost broke the Army's heart. but, true to
the traditions Of the teams that have fought
for West Point before them, the Army
stuck to 1t and did not snow the white
feather The Navy deserved the victory,
for the midshipmen put up a sterling game
and outplayed the cadets from the kick
off down to the instance when Field Judge
Bultz threw up his hand and declared the
contest at an end.
Dalton Tries for Goal.
OF Dalton's seven attempts at goals from
the field three were made from the thirty
yard line, the last Of which succeeded; one
from the nineteen-yard line, one from
twenty-six yards another from thirty
nine, and one mighty effort, fifty-one
yards, from the Army goal All but three
carried to the goal line, but the stiff wind
from the northwest carried the ball TO one
side Of the Gpal posts.
Dean, the star punter for the Army,
made two attempts at field goals. one from
the forty-four-yard line and the other at
forty-five yards, but neither kick came
near score.
The frequency with which the resort was
made to this method Of attempting to
score was because Of the difficulty each
team had in advancing the ball consistently
Comparatively few urst downs were made
by either team, but what advantage there
was in this respect was with the Navy.
The midshipmen played a fine offensive
game and there were few times throughout
the sixty minutes Of action that the mid
shlpmen did not have the cadets on the
defensive. The game will go down in the
foot ball annals Of West Point and Annap-
oils as one of the cleanest and best ever
played between the two institutions It
was fought before one of the largest
crowds that ever gathered on Franklin
field. Every stand was taxed to its capao-
ity. The private boxes were filled and a
crushing mass OF people choked up the
promenade that surrounds the four sides
Of the gridiron.
The ball was put in play on the Nays
twenty-five-yard line. Rodes Owed into
center for five yards and Dalton punted to
midfield. The Army fumbled and the Navy
got the ball on their fifty-three-yard line
on forward pass the bali went to the
Navy on the Armys twenty-yard line Dali
ton made fifty yards against right tackle
and the ball was only fifteen yards from
the Army's goal Dalton tried goal from
placement, but missed. The ball was put
in play on the Army's twenty-five-yard line
in the possession Of the Army Dean kicked
and Clay ran the ball back ten yards. II
was the Nays ball on their own forty
eight-yard line. The third period ended
with the score. to o.
The fourth period began with the ball In
midfieid Hamilton returned TO the game
at left end in place OF Elmore. Dalton

line. Browne ran the ball back five yards.
Devore failed to gain and Dean dropped
back 20 kick and fumbled a high pass, but
recovered the ball on the Armys twenty
yard line.
