Army Makes First Touchdown.

Then things began TO happen. Another
blocked punt soon gave the ball TO the
Army near the centre OF the field, and
after one exchange of punts Prichard
lodged and squirmed along for twenty
yards TO the Nays 34-yard line. giving
the cadets another chance TO strike. Then
followed two Of the most sensational
PLAYS Of the football season.
Prichard shot pretty forward pass to
Markoe for a clean gain Of thirteen yards.
and on the next play tossed another to
Merrillat, who made an amazing recovery
back OF the goal line for touchdown.
Once more the cadets rose in frenzy;
once more the midshipmen were stiled
McEwan failed to kick the goal just az
the second period ended.
The Navy tied the score early in the
third period Aided by two penalties
against the Army, one for fifteen yards
and another for five yards. and by the
clever running Of Nichols. who reeled off
twenty-five yards. then fifteen yards and

the cadets rushed across the neiu anu
gathered in a mass before the Navy
stands to cheer their beaten foe.
That over they turned TO their own
fup. and, swinging in behind their pah'
and the improvised army mule, danced
here and there and everywhere Al A
signal a huge circle was formed ABOUT
The field. with the colors in the mlddle'
and then on another signal a wlio rush
was made to the central point with
more cheers and more shouts.
Two cadets, at the risk of their uni
forms if not of their lives, climbed the
goal posts and nailed flags to the hish-
est points, and then there were more
cheers So it went until tired nature
called a halt. and the boys IN gray
were lost in the throng Of civilians VINO
crowded down on the field in the gath

The midshipmen sat quietly in their
places. They knew what 1t was TO

three years. They were disappointed
too. and could think only Of that dreary
ride back TO Annapolis; but in spite OF
il all they returned cheer for cheer and

a Crowd That Broke Records.
4 bigger crowd than ever saw
baseball battle and the largest IN the
history of football surrounded the
famous field sacred to McGraw, Matty
and the Giants. The seating capacity
had been enlarged TO accommodate
over forty thousand, and every lnch Oh
space was occupied. The stands were
flecked with brilliant cOlors on dark
background of furs and overcoats. On
each side of the arena, opposite mid
field. were the cheering sections OF the
two academies, dazzling in gold, blue
and gray from uniforms and banners.
A water laden wind, raw and cutting.
swept out Of the northeast. The clouds
that had rested over the field early in
the day lifted, and scudded gray ana
menacing before the breeze. A patch
Of blue heartened the hopes Of chilled
spectators an hour before the game was
to begin, but it soon disappeared, and
the clouds again threatened the down
pour which never came, although
slight mist was felt before the battle
ended.
Set in the oval of humanity was the
gridlron, protecte dfrom the rain until
afternoon by a twelve-inch blanket OF
straw. The bare spots Of earth were
covered with sod. over the spot that
marked home plate on the diamond
was the crossbar between the western
goal posts. To the south, on the side
line. was the Army stand; to the north
sat the Navy, with the field between,
raked by a crossfire of cheering that
echoed to the throngs gathered on
Coogans Bluffs.
The seats of the mighty in the two
branches Of the service ranged in a
crescent of concrete boxes at the edge
of the field and in the upper tier Of the
grandstand. where President Wilson
saw the first half Of the battle. Tenn
porary wooden boxes were constructed
in front Of the bleachers. Here men Of
distinction in national, state and city
life watched the struggle.

Cheers Merge Into a Roar.

An Army cheer for the Navy was the

far and wide. At a given signal from

arose from the spectators was terrific.
Each cheering section was mass Of
iuttering yellow banners. which waved
CO ntinuously throughout the strusgl'.
The cadets managed to secret part Of
their band in their midst. and this with
three buglers, aided in making the
cheering remarkably effective.
Just before the battle started, the
mascots Of the two teams were led into
the arena. The Navy had real goat,
but the Army mule took the form of an
artificial animal, whose legs were those
OF two cadets. The mule haj remark

yards before Hobbs took 1t on the run
and dashed along thirty yards before
being turned over on the Nays 20
yard line on daring tackle from be-
hind by Blodgett.
The cadets in the stand were again
on their feet and began chanting Good
night, ladies'" and good night, mtdship-
men. it was. Hobbs tore along for
another eight yards on the first line up.
and while the Navy stopped the next
plunge il had no defence for the for
ward pass which followed. IIrgc took
the ball from the centre. made a feint
toward one side Of the line, tossed II

il a good fifteen yards to Merrillat who
made another wonderful recovery hack
Of the Navy gold line. and dropped for
a touchdown.
The punt out failed. so no goal was
kicked. but the score read o. TO 9-quite
enough to make an Army holiday.
The mishipmen fought OIL and actually
had one more good chance TO score. but
their forward pass had not been de-
veloped to such nicely as that OF the
Army, and all other means failed.
Mitchell, who was substituted for Mich
oils after the last Army touchdown. re-
ceiyed the kickoff. which the Navy elect
ed the Army should make. and ran the
ball back thirty-flve yards TO the centre
of the field. Blodgett then punted, and
when Prichard fumhled the ball Howe fell
on II for the Navy on the Armys 25-yard

Army Ties the Score.

Early in the second period Weyand
blocked punt. and Wynne, following the
ball like a hound as IT bounded toward
the Navy goal line. fell on II only seven
wards away. This was the signal for a
wild demonstration from the Army
camp. and more was to follow. The mid
shipmen quickly broke up two running
plays for a scant three yards, and then
Charley DAILY. head coach OF the cadets,
PLAYED a card that he held in reserve.
Woodruff was substituted for Jouett, and,
emulating the example OF Brown, neatly
kicked a goal from placement while
standing on the 20-yard line. 1t was the
first score made by West Point In four
years and nothing else was needed to
work the cadets into a state bordering on
lunacy. They shouted; they roared; they
beat one another over the shoulders; they
tossed hats and otherwise showed real
marks of great JOY.
That goal from the field did something
more than stir momentary riot: ii in
spred the Army players and added the
necessary touch Of confidence, but il ulso
dashed the Navy players into action.
Brown kicked off. but Hoge, after dash

Cadets and Middies Arrive.

The crowd was slow in coming and
the stands were not more than half
filled when the blare of the Army band
was heard twenty-five minutes before
the game began. From the northeast
entrance TO the grounds issued the
cadets, who had been waiting for some
time in Manhattan Field. Led by the
academy officers, the musicians in black
coats and white capes sounded the
martial strains for the advance. Four
abreast, in matchless order, they
marched down the sidelines. the COL
umn extending more than halfway
around the arena. Cheer after cheer
rippled through the stands as they
passed, and the standard bearers car
rying the gray, gold and black colors
of the academy drew the applause OF
the whole Army side.
Entering the gridiron under the east
ern goal posts, the cadets formed In
companies of eighty, and forty abreast
marched the length of the field. The
gray coated files were in perfect align
ment. Each man carried yellow ban
ner in his right hand. AS their arms
swung in the rhythm of the march &
fash of gold broke across the lines al
every step. The crowd was reused tC
the highest enthusiasm by the spectacle
Back to the eastern end they marched
and halted in front Of the Presidents
box. The band quickened its strains
and each company. breaking into quick
step, trotted TO it's seats.
Before the last Of the cadets had left
the field the Navy battalions appeared
Their marine band. in scarlet and blue
led the files directly onto the gridiron
while the Annapolis contingent in the
stands paid homage. The middies wore
their long navy blue coats, which
looked almost black from a distance
From the right shoulder Of each fell a
wide yellow ribbon. AS the time was
limited the sailors did not march
around the field. but went directly to
their places, in the left field bleachers.
