In hard-fought game that was
we'll worth the seeing notwithstand-
ing the somewhat one-sided score of
5 to the Navy defeated Washing
toni efferson College on Worden
Field Saturday afternoon.
The changes made in the MILDLY
lineup during the week following the
poor showing made against Rutgers
the previous Saturday, worked salts
factorily and in every instance, ex-
cept the substitution of Carey for
Dalton, showed the wisdom of the
coaches changes. The one exception
was a marked one, however, for
while Carey played good game and
time after time gains substantially
on wide runs and dashes through
tackle, it was only after the big Dali
ton had been put into the lineup, and
given the chance to carry the ball
that the two touchdowns tailed were
made possible.
His relegation to the scrub team
during the week and waiting time on
the bench until he went into Satur-
days game as a substitute, made
Dalton play as he has possibly never
played before since he was a plebe,
and the first touchdown was due to
his almost unaided efforts and won
derfully hard line plunging. The in
itial score, however, was made by
Cobb, who, after Carey and Clay had
rushed the leather to the 20-yard
line, put over difficult placement
goal that gave a three point lead to
the sailors.
a large crowd was present and
plenty of enthusiastic support was
given the players by the yelling
cheering middies in the stand. An
added bit of fun of this sort was fur
nished by the presence on the side
lines for time of Little Hip" the
baby elephant from the Polly of
the Circus" Company who, decked in
neat blanket of blue ''and gold, pa
raded around with all the Importance
of Navy goat. During the rrelim-
mary practice he furnished much
amusement by his punting of the ball
which his keeper and the MILDLY who
helped do the honors placed for his
ever-ready foot. De was a decided
hit.
An expression of their admiration
for Jack" O'Brian, the team man
ager, who unfortunately got tangled
in the recent trouble over hazing,
was given by the middies during one
of the intermissions, when he was
given yell, to which was tackled
fhraa poicilv ap+bue,oe4;o OtD.:o-.
Although every whit as heavy as
their opponents, the visitors were
outclassed in the finer points of the
game, and never were seriously dan
gerous to the MILDLY goal line. Their
only real attempts at scoring were
three attempted placement goals
from about the 30-yard line, none
of which were as difficult as the one
accomplished for Navy by Cobb, but
in all of which Forsythe failed. The
visitors as well as the Navy several
times attempted to negotiate the for
ward pass, but neither team seemed
to have this down to a point where it
coul be successfully handle. Wash
ington-Jeffsrson never made a first
oOWH OuAl lLS IuS WuOlG game, DuL the
sailors wen the moving of the stakes
nine times.
Both sides were guilty of rather
serious fumbling, and in this the
middies were perhaps the worst Of
enders. Their tally would possibly
have been larger had they held on to
the bali better. On punting, the
visitors gained rather more yards
than the middies, the work of For
sythe in this department of the game
being shade better than that of
Dalton for the Navy.
1t was shortly after the second
half-or third quarter-opened that
Dalton was put in to take the place
of Carey. Although the ball was
then in mid-feld, it only took the big
half-back two plays to carry it to
the 3-yard line, from where McReavy
carried it over on what had been
figured to be an end play, but was a
fake dash through tackle. Dalton
kicked goal. The second and final
touchdown was accomplished in much
the same manner later in the game.
