Navy 3, Army o.
Franklin Field, Nov. 2s.-The Navy
football team defeated the Army on
Franklin field this afternoon by the
score of 3 to 0, well played goal
/ from placement by Captain Dalton Of
the Annapolis team from the 30-yard
line being the only score made in the
great annual contest between these
| two eleVens.
The game was characterized by
much kicking. The captains of each
eleven elected to kick without taking
many chances at straight line kick
/ ing.
Neither goal was seriously men
aced at any time during the game Not
once during the contest did either
team have the ball within its pos
session inside of its opponents 20
The two elevens we're evenly
matched neither being able to gain
much ground by line pIunging or end
running.
Captain Dalton played a wonderful
game for the Navy, his punting being
better than that of Keyes, who
showed excellent kicking ability Dali
ton was ably backed up by Nichols,
who did much good work in breaking
through the Army lines.
Keves was the star for the Army.
Had his interference been quicker in
protecting him, there might have
been a different story to tell He
slipped through holes and lodged
around the ends but his good work
was often without avail because the
Navy backs and heavy line men broke
his interference.

The Navy was depending entirely on

the slippery bali on a tumble down in
the Army territory but fortune failed
