NAVY EXPECTED TO
DEFEAT PITTSBURG
Visitors a Heavy Bunch and Had
Lots of Confidence.
RICH MENU ON CARD TODAY.
Princeton Tigers Looked for Tight
Game With DartmOuth-Army VS..
COLGATE.

When the midshipmen' football
team lined up against the eleven of
the University of Pittsburg on the
Academy gridiron this afternoon they
found their opponents to be a bunch
of husky fellows and under the good
weather conditions that prevailed,
everything augured well tor a fairly
interesting game.
Though the visitors have not done
anything particularly brilliant this
season, they have been putting up
good game, and had lots of confidence
over the outcome of today's struggle.
For the first time this season there
was much confidence in the Navy
camp. There was put into the field
the heaviest aggregation that has
started a game this year, and a. the
coaches say, that marked improve
me Mt has been shown in This weeks
practice, il is believed that the mid
dies have at last hit their proper
stride, and, from Navy viewpoint,
indications pointed to a victory by
a substantial margin.
Here is how the team took the
field: Overesc.i. left end; Vaughn,
left tackle; Howe, left guard; Walk
er, centre; Brown, right guard; Red
man, right tackle Gilchrist, right
end; Nichols. quarterback; Falling
left halfback; Ingram, right half
back; Harrison, fullback.
The lineup showed three notable
changes. Nichols, regular halfback
of last season, has been playing at
quarter this week and shows up we'll !;
Falling, at lefthalf, is a Plebe, while
Ingram, playing full, had until this
week, been looked upon as the man
for the centre position.
Officials of the game are:
Referee Taussis, Cornell; umpire,
Torrey, Pennsylvania; head linesman,
Armstrong, Yale.
Il is a rich menu that il presented
by the football schedule over the coun-
try today. 1t is full of good things.
The w. and ]. eleven, which tackled
Yale, is made up of big men and this
team has shcwn sterling defensive
work on several occasions.
1t kept both Cornell and the Indi-
ans from crossing its goal line, play
ing a to O tie with the Indians who
are reputed to have a strong offence.
The game may make the Ellis extend
themselves, the latter with all their
good material, not being very far
along and needing apparently some
good, sharp coaching to- stir them up
to more of the quality of work which
they showed in flashes against the
Army.
The biggest game of the day was
at Princeton, where there came to-
gether two teams which have shown
lots of scoring ability. Both have
been rolling up points at great rate,
Princeton to a larger extent than
Dartmouth. Against such teams as
it has met Princeton has turned out
scoring machinle that has done con-
spicuously good work. There has
been a tendency to bear the Tiger
market by laying stress on the weak
ness of opponents, but whether or
not that be the reason the Princeton
attack has done a good deal of sharp,
aggressive and accurate ground gain
ing
Since Pennsylvania has been beaten
twice in succession, Lafayette which
met the Quakers today, was hopeful
of making it three straight. Swarth-
more disposed of Lafayette much
easier than she did Pennsylvania.
The Carlisle-Georgetown game ex-
cited a good deal of attention,
Georgetown having hopes because the
team has made 134 points and has not
been scored on.
There was no scrimmage work for
the Army team yesterday. After the
military drill the cadets had a short
signal practice and the men were
sent in on the run. All were in good
shape for the game with Colgate to-
day. The Army expected hard game
and was satisfied to win by small
score.
Final Score-Navy, IS; Univer-
sity of Pittsburg, 6.
