Game.

Making it three straight wins for
their seasons schedule, Navy's foot
ball team on Saturday afternoon took
the hosts of Washington and Jeffer-
son College into camp and hung an.
ther scalp to their belt in the last
game that will be played on Worden
Field this year. The score was l6
to 0.
Next Saturdays game. with
Princeton University, which is the
really "big" contest of the local
season, will be played on the new
field overlooking the harbor, in front

Saturdays game started off in a
way that indicated that the sailor s
would have an exceedingly tough
proposition with w. and J. The
visitors, who were not outweighed,
were fast and during the first per-
iod of twelve minutes play, held
their opponents to a scoreless tie.
However, after a three-minute rest.
the middies came back with renewed
vigor nd set pace that the Pennsyl-
vanians could not follow.
Opening the period with long for
ward pass from Sowell to Hamilton,
the ball was touched by a visitor
and the play was disallowed. Dalton
then punted and Brown recovered
the ball after Ingram had iuggled

first play Dalton charged through his
own right tackle for the 90 yards
that separated him from the visitors
goal line. Brown missed an easy goal.
Rodes ran the ball back to the
Navy's 40-yard line after the kick
off and Dalton punted, Ingram return

45-yard line. McReave went around
left tackle for 20 yards, and Sowell
and McReavy between them carried
the ball to the visitors 5-yard line.
1t took all of the downs allowed to
make the remaining distance, but on
the last try Dalton squeezed over.
Brown kicked this goal. The half
ended shortly after.
The third quarter was hard fought
by the visitors and was scoreless, and
the concluding period bid fair to re-
suit likewise. A brilliant play by
Howe, the Navy's big, black headed
guard, gave the midshipmen an addi-
tional score. Three minutes before
time was called he broke though and
blocked Ingram's kick cleanly. Pick
ing up the ball he easily covered the
45-yards to the goal line. Leonard
missed the goal.
The midshipmen suffered severely
owing to the watchful eyes of the Off
cials, all of whom were up to their
work every minute. Holding, inter-
feence with the center and offside
playing were the chief offenses of the
midshipmen. Prompt charging is
drilled into the Navy players by
their coaches, and all this season the
midshipmen have been prone to start
ahead of the ball, particularly if their
opponents have gained yard or two
No penalties were inflicted, however,
for unndue roughness or any unsports-
manlike conduct.

new variations of the forward pass
and onside kick. With the pass they
had little success, but with a long
kick they sometimes recovered the
ball and made substantial gains.
