That old rule which teaches that IL

on Franklin Field this afternoon,
when the Navy. In a hard aud clean

Few First Downs.
The frequency with which resort
vas made TO this method of attempt
10 score was because of the difficulty
each team had i'm advancing the bail
consistently. Comparatively few f1rst
downs were made by either. but what
added advantage there was in this
respect was with the Navy. The mid
shipmen prayed a fne offensive game
and there was few times that the
midshipmcn did not have the cadets
on the defensive.
The game will go down IN the foot

oils as one OF the cleaEest and best
ever played between the two institu-
