aid triumph over their rivals Of the

annual contest. The score was 6 TO

The game was desperately contested
from beginning to end, without either
team eriously menacing the others

vhirlwind start, and looked like a
raa. winner when they carried the
ball we'll into Navy's territory in the
first ten minutes Of play. But after
that the strong and heavy forwards OF

reliance had been pinned, began to
how themselves, and while they, too,

Ing the opposing goal line, the advant-

the smoke Of battle lifted, was

After the usual preliminaries Incl
dent to changing from one to the
other side of the field, Navy put the
ball into play on its 4S-yard line.
Rodes, on fake kick, ran six yards
around Army's left end. Another
fake kick, Leonard carrying the ball,
re suited in large gain.
Leonard's attempt to punt was
blocked by Merilett, and the Army
end started on dash towards Navy s
goal line. He was overtsken by
Leonard and thrown Oh Navy's 13-
yard mark. Things began to look
pretty bad for the middies, nut Bene-
dict failed to gain on a centre pIav.
Hobbs fumbled and an alert MILDLY
recovered the ball on Navy's 24-ysrd
mark, and Leonard Immediately punt
ed out of danger. He sent the
spheroid sailing to Army's 40-yard
line and Keyes was thrown in his
tracks. A punting duel followed and

line He was brought down by Gill

Army, hut this time West Point re-
covered the ball.
Benedict could do nothing with the
of bound at Navv's 32-yard line.
Rodes failed to gain on an end run
from a fake kick formation. In this
play pelalty of fifteen yards was
inflicted against NAVY for holding.
This sent the ball back close to the
Navy goal posts. the middies retain
ing possession of it, however. Leon
ard then punted to Navy's 47yard
mark, and Keyes was tackled hard by
Gilchrist before be could get under
way. Line plunges by Prichard and
Benedict failed to count for much,
and Keyes punted out Of bounds on
Navy's 24-yard line. Leonard essay
ed an end run from fake kick forma-
tion for a gain of six yards. He
was downed by Benedict and Devore.
On a similar play, Leonard gained
three more yards. McReavy added
three more on a short end run. Red
man was substituted for Ralston in
the Navy lineup.
Leonard Makes Long Punt
Leonard got of a good punt, the
ball going to Army's 5-yard line,
where Keyes was thrown after a
gain of only two yards. Benedict
tore through centre for seven yards,
and Army profted by a 5-yard pen
atty, imposed because of a MILDLY be-
ing offside. This gave Army first
down with the ball resting seventeen
yards from their own goal line. Hobbs
made yard through centre; Benedict
and Keyes each failed to gain on line
plunges and Hobbs punted to Nays
52-yard line.
After a couple of plays time was
called for the first half. Score,
