CAPTAIN GILCHRIST IN TEARS
Each Man Feels That He Alone Is
Responsible for Defeat at
Hands of Army.

While the cadets from West Point ca.
yorted madly about the Polo Grounds in
joyous celebration OF the victory Of their
team, the disconsolate players OF the An.
napolis team sat in their dressing rooms
and wept over the defeat Forgotten was
the great work done in midseason. and
that they had swept all before them and
had been scored on only once. They had
been outplayed and beaten in the big
game of their athletic careers, and thar
eclipsed all else. In vain Jim Reilly called
on them. bidding them cheer up and BE-
proud of the plucky fight they made De-
feat at the hands Of the Army hurt and
ranked down to their hearts.
From Captain GiIchrIst two-star ~"
man, down to Hank Blodgett. the big
"plebe." they wept like children. There
was not man, however, who tried 10
shift the blame. Quite on the other hand.
each shouldered the responsibility and
stoutly maintained that had he played a
little harder victory would have been won
Brown, the giant guard. who scored all
the points for his team and made more
tackles perhaps than any other man on
the team, could not be consoled. III

licked them sure. I missed Merrillat COM

more game. I wish we could play the
game over again right now and we'd beat
them"
Captain Gilchrist had nothing TO say,
He moved around like man in daze.

team had lost. Some Of the other players.
however were moved in different way,
and ragged around the room ready 10 figh,
any one or anything at all. Each de-
clared that II he had only played little
harder the whole game would have been
different.
Jim Reilly however. had different
idea. He told every man to look tho
whole world in the face. He shook hands
with every man and congratulated him on
his plucky fight and splendid play point
ing out that there were other years when
the defeat would be wiped out.

A desperate band OF midshipmen
trotted out on the field to start the
second half McEwan kicked on for
the Army, and Nichols ran 1t back TO the
30-yard mark before he was set down.
Nichols at once punted 10 Prichard

and the next rush found the midship-

TO the victor belongs the praise, or most
LOT it, 50 one must call attention TO the
highly prohcent backfeld men who repre-
scented the Army. Whoever they were
was beyond me. though reports lead me
20 believe that Captain Hoge was doine
great deal of effective work, as was
Jouett and Hobbs There was no doubt
that Pritchard, the quarterback, was
handling his end Of the work finely, hold
ing punts and selecting plays that made
touchdowns. Watching him would be an
excellent lesson for those quarterbacks at
Harvard. Yale and Princeton who neg
leCted this point entirely in the past fall.
Besides these duties. Pritchard was pass
ing the football with the same precision
and accuracy that Christy Mathewson
used in tossing a baseball on the same
field
Altogether Pritchard was a star the
premier quarterback Of an odd season,
and the only one TO pilot team into
maintaining honored traditions. In the

on defence and in getting down on kicks,
| and McEwan, at centre. impressed me as
the most aggressive young soldier to
occupy that position since the days OF
Upton. He played all over the field and
his passing was all that could be desired
In the Army line / liked Brown and
Howe best OF all linemen on the field from
tackle TO tackle. Brown played the best
defensive game he has ever given the
Navy, his charge being truly wonderful
and so consistent that the clever field
general of the Army, Prltchard. took note
of II and absolutely refused to lose ground
by sending men at him. He was just the
same at opening holes, and in going down
on punts he beat his ends many times.
Like Merrilat Brown became a score
trust, as his three goals from placement
were the only Navy tallies Fortunately
for the Army and for Charley Brickley
ne had no other chances. but kicking
Loo on three lines up is a mighty fair
record for an afternoon. Brown got weak
toward the end and was not down well
on kicks or giving any interference on
| wide end runs. Taken all in all his play
was better than year ago. when |
thought him the best guard OF the season.
Howe was not far behind him I'm line
play and In covering Dunts, while he was
Browns superior in making interference.
The end work of Ingram was very fine
on defence, whereas in covering kicks it
was case of Ingram getting the man
one time and Captain Gilchrist the next,
that is, when Howe or Brown were beaten
to ii.
In the backfeld Nichols and his substi.
tute. Mitchell, were very good ground
gamers and fighters of the highest type.
In fact there was little to choose between
the two sets of backs. Better forward
passing by the Army and the presence
OF Merrilat upon the field of battle won
the game.

the midst Of the enemy, a play that mas
strained the nerves of some of the men
on the big teams this fall nearly to the
breaking point. Merrillat had all and
even more speed than those two great
Cornell ends on Thanksgiving Day, ana
with Il he had the two other accomplish
ments which added just three touchdo"hs
to the Army's score yesterday.
This is enough honor for one lone Army
man, and It gives me heart TO think that
he will soon be along the Mexican Dor
der. Drafting the common American cit
izen for war purposes will never be nee
essary with Merrillat graduated and DO
ing duty at the front. | not only expect
him to be an All-American end, but
confidently look for President Wilson
who saw him yesterday, to send him run
ming down to Mexico City in the near
future TO bring back our disturpihS
neighbor, PreXy Huerta
IL was this sane fighting gentleman
who rushed into the Navy full back from
no nearer position than right end, caus-
ing him to make rather low and poor
kick which his barracks mate, Hobbs
ran back some twenty yards TO start the
ball rolling for the last touchdown.
