NuecIcu DY turns at the KalelucScODic
playing. Tho use or the forward pass
repeatedly by the cadets opened up tho
play to q far greater extent than tho
moro conservative limo attack and runs
of the Middies. thus furnishing the
spectators many brilliant football pic
lures. 1t was In tho execution OF this
play that the Army advantage lay and
the flnal scoro demonstrated how sue
cessfully 1t was worked.
Plny Eastern Gnme.
In tho opening quarter tho two
elevcns played the usual EASTERN game
with tho attack directed principally at
the line and outside tackle. At this
period the advantage lay entirely with
tho Mliddies. who used their weight
and speed for consistent gains. Near
their own goal limo tho Army held firm
~, and Brown. the Middics' right guard,
was called back to the cadets twenty
yard line. whence he kicked q place
ment goal. In the second period he
duplicated the feat after IiodEson
oropped one OF NichoiPs punts and Gill
christ recovered.
Tho Army got into action In this
quarter also. with a field goal and
touchdown. Early I'm the period the
soldiers gained tho ball on the Navy's
tcn-yard line rs a result OF blocked
punt from Nichols. The West Point
backs could make no impression ON
placed Jouett for tho OCCASION kicked
;th easy goal from placement on the
Nays yard line Just be-
fore the quarter ended Prichard caught
one OF Nicholls's high punts at midheld
and raced fifteen yards. Then three
times in succession Prichard hurled Il
forward pass. The first two were un-
completed, but the third shot squarely
Into tho hands of Merrillat, the Army
right end. who had run across the
mi Il c. H. W.,
end of the first half remained to 6
in favor of the soldiers. for McEwan
failed to kick the goal from touch
down.
The Navy added another goal from
placement in the third period, when
Nichols, by clever running back OF
Jouctts punt, placed tho ball on the
by the soldiers defense Brown scored
his third goal from placement standing
on the thirty-yard mark.
Cadets Start Attack.
With the points nine. all the cadets
opened another brilliant attack. Mer-
rillat. with little or no interference
ran from the Army's forty-ive-yard
line to the middics's one-yard mark be-
fore he was tackled from the rear by
Gilchrist. Two line plunEcs. with Cap
tain HoSe carrying the ball. scored the
second touchdown and McEwan kicked
the goal, making the score, Army, 16;
Navy, ..
Not satisfied with the lead the cadets
set out to revenge themselves for their
defeats Of recent years. and succeeded
in adding another touchdown. Immc-
diatcly after the opening OF the final
period, Captain HoSe caught one of
Nicholls's low punts on the -Arrnv's
forty-fve-yard line and ran unaided
to the middies' twenty-yard mark. on

fast weakening sailors line for eight
yards. Again Prichard elected TO try
for a forward pass and again II was
Merrillat who caught the flying sphe-
roid behind the Navy goal line for the
third touchdown OF tho game. The
punt out was a failure. leaving the
final score: Army. %: Navy. ..
During the sixty minutes of play the
Navy eleven failed TO show the con-
sistent advancing power that had
brought them seven victories by the
big scores in the eight preliminary
games of tho season. While the Army
did not. as n team. diagnose the attack
successfully, the desperate charging
and tackling OF the cadets upset the
interference and brought down the run
ner with little or no gain. Nichols.
who played under the handicap OF run
ming the team and the ball. repeatedly
was outpunted by Jouctt. The Army
ends cXcclled in covering punts.
Exchange of Kicks Helps Army.
IT was distance gained by exchange
OF kicks and in running back punts
that usually put tho Army in a position
for q score. Onco within tho scoring
zone. the cadets relied mainly on the
forward pass. and the records show
that they tried twelve during the
game. Three were completed and two
resulted in touchdowns. fourth was

plcted. The middics tried six forward
