Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Nov.
25.-Before q wildly enthusiastic gath
ering of football rooters, limited only
by the capacity of the great athletic
field of the University of Pennsylvania,
the gridiron warriors of the United
States Military Academy and United
States Naval Academy battlcd today
for the championship of nation. Dali
toms field goal early in the play won
the game for the Middies by : to O.
1t was the rubber game of the long
standing series between the rival serv-
ice colleges. Before to-day the teams
had met fifteen times, and had broken
even for that time. Each academy had
seven victories to its credit. There was
a tie game in 1906. The Navy won
last year. and the Army in 1908, no
game being played in 1909.
ARMY CADETS PARADE.
Promptly at 1:SO o'clock the host OF
gayly bedecked cadets who had come to
cheer for an Army victory, mustered at
the west entrance. Behind the post band
Of West Point they formed in long
columns and paraded around the field
to their southern station. Each soldier
was equipped with Army-colored mega
phones, suspended by long ribbon Shout
der straps.
In direct contrast to the striking gray
of the cadets was the impressive black
Of the midshipmen. The somber effect
was somewhat broken by the orange rib
bons and megaphones Of sailor cnIors.
The Marine Band, in flaming red capes,
stood out prominently against the khaki
bum surtouts OF the contemporary mu-
sicians.
Vice President Sherman occupied the
Presidents box. There were also present
Mr.. Meyer, Secretary of the Navy, and
Mr. Stimson, Secretary OF War. Neither
Mrs Taft nor Miss Helen was present
In another box was Miss Marion CleYa-
land. daughter of ex-President Cleve-
land. The Postmaster General and other
Cabinet officers, with several justices Of
the Supreme Court were of the Presi-
Dental delegation. Boxes and stands
held Senators, Representatives, and cow
errors Of States BY the score.
Many Notables Present.
The service, OF course, had the largest
representation. There were generals, adj
mirals. and lesser officers by the hun.
bred. With all these dignitaries were
their womankind. Society from Wash
ington and New York was out In force.
adding their beauty of face and costumes
to the home delegation and the many Wis
itors from cities of the four corners OF
the country. The crowd, high and low. |
approximately $4,000 persons.
The Army clearly outplayed the heaT-
Ter MILDLY aggregation in the first quar-
ter, though a tumble OF pass by Hyatt
robbed the Cadets Of their best chance to \
score. The Soldiers sprung a great sur !
prise on the young Admirals in a fake |
kick formation, which was worked time
and time again for long gains. This
play was sprung in any number of va
rietieS: sometimes with quick line ShiftS
that completely baffied the MIddies.
Keyes always carried the ball and !
without exception he skirted the end I
that was not expecting the play Despite |
the fact that Dalton, the Nays bootsr, !
had the wind in his favor, he failed to |
uphold his end with either Keyes or Nc |
Donald, who alternated at bootinE for /
the Army.
The Army. which tackled off immedi-
ately. held her adversary for downs, and .
Dalton was forced to punt. Then Keyes :
unlocked his first run from a fake kick
for a pretty 20-yard gain. He
came right back with another for the
same distance. Army threw her plung-
ing backs into passing line and the An
napolis machine was crumpSed UP ana {
rolled back into the very shadow Of the
goal line. Here Army had an excellent
chance for field goal, but refused the
opportunity and lost the ball on downs
Dalton Immediately booted out Of danger.
There were then many exchanges OF
puHts, and each lost ground. Finally the
Army caught its second wind and was
again crowding Navy when the period
ended.
Navy on Defensive.
When the teams changed sides Navy
was on the defensive near her 3-yard
line. Navy held for downs and Dalton
punted out OF bounds at Nays 5O-yard
line. Then for the third time the Army
furnished such thrilling attack thak
her colors marched down the field almost
