The Washington times., 1913-11-11

To any one who has ever witnessed
q battle between the service elevens 1t
10 no new thing to speak of their
sggressiyeness. At times this aggres-
siveness verges on rough play. Indeed,
In 1909. the Army and Navy elevens
did mot meet largely because Of the
rough stun shown In the to 4 Army
victory the year before Judging from
their games to date this season. the
annual clash between the service
eievens this season viii be one Of the
roughest IN the history Of their COM
bats. The officials will do wei to curb
their aggressiveness In order TO pre-
serve these annual contests.
The Navy viii almost certainly 90

washington and jefferson, has scored
more points than the sailors. The
Navy has swamped every opponent
save Pittsburgh and the Pirates were
fortunate in meeting the middies IN the
lis. Folowtpg. Is the scoring record
Of the Navy: =.
Navy. o: Pittsburgh. o.
Navy, %; Georgetown. 0.
Navy ., Dickinson. o.
Navy. 76; Maryland Aggies. 0.
Navy, 50; Lehigh, o.
Navy. 20; Buckneil. 2.
Totals, Navy, 81; opponents, 2.
This record proves the sailors to have
one Of the most powerful scoring ma
chimes IN the country. Defeating sucn
representative elevens as Georgetown,
tehigh and Bucknell argues for a
strong team. The Navy was the last
team in the East to be scored against
this season. Yes. the Navy must be
considered.
The Army. though defeated cleanly by
Notre Dame. has a good record and viii
certainly be in fine fettle by the time
of its clash with the Navy.
The Army record for this season fol-
lows:

In speaking of the work of the Blue
and Gray. II Is frequently told how the
defeated the strong Virginia
Medical School. But wait-the Virginia
played North Carolina A and
NJ and the University of Mississippi
within a week before facing George
town. The Medicos were completely
IA gged out when they appeared on the
hilltop. and it is nothing to cheer about
TO have won from them. The other
victory gained by Georgetown was over

should not be given much serious at
tention.
Pennsylvania Is wondering how Dart
mouth ever learned how to follow the
ball so well on a muddy field. Dart
mouth has won two decisive victories

Penn. The alert work of the Dart
mouth players in gathering up fumbles
and refraining from. fumbling TIM |
selves is still causing gossip at Penn
The best of feeling prevailed between
Penn and Dartmouth. Once Lou Young,
