the Eastern football enthusiasts. for a
man to smash into a line Of human
bodies with the force that Maulbetscb
does and come out OF the game with
out a broken neck.
The way that MauIbetsch rammed
the husky Harvard line in that Har-
Vard-Michigan game will be talked
about in Eastern football circles for
many years to come.
The East had been prepared to see in
Maulbetsch a good line smasher. but il
didn't expect to see a miraculous
plunging half back, such as MauIbetsch
proved himself to be-

over the final touchdown and goal
II was a great game. hotly fought ev-
cry minute. and had the crowd OF 5000
bugs on their toes most Of the time.
In the first half Washington and Jeffer-
son had Rutgers badly outclassed, roll
ing up thirteen points and apparently
cinching the pastime. But in the third
quarter Rutgers strengthened in all de-
partments. while Washington and Jeffer-
son seemed TO be firing fast. and brought
the score up to Is to 6. Tolman missing a
goal on Garrett's touchdown.
In the final period Scarr tried the for
ward pass once too often, and SpiegeL

tween halves. intercepted the ball. where
upon Washington and Jefferson made 20
yards on forward passes and Spiegel was
pushed over for what later proved to be
the winning score.
Individual honors were fairly divided
between Spiegel and Garrett, the big In

Philadelphia. Nov. S.-As was expected,
the Army team easily outplayed the
Navy today. and won handily by a score
of % TO 0.
The spectacle before the game was
wonderful. The Middies and Cadets par
AIDED around the field with their bands,
and enthusiasm ran riot. The cheering
on both sides was terrific. sat directly
behind the Navy section and the noise
was deafeniHg.
Navy had only one chance to score in
the first half and lost that when Blod-
gert missed a tTy- for placement goal.
Army scored on a safety when they
blocked Navy punt on the goal line.
Army's two other scores in the first half
were the direct results of forward passes,
Prichard TO Merrillat. This combination
is hard to beat for forward passing.
Navy handled kicks very poorly in this
half Army outpunted the Middies and
covered their kicks better. Both teams
tackled fercely as they always do in
this contest. The Navy center made some
bad passes which were disastrous.
Navy came back strong in the third
quarter and carried the ball to Army's
20-yard line only to lose it on an at
tempted forward pass. Following this
Army made its most consistent advance
of the day, carrying the ball from its
own 20-yard line right down TO the goal
line, but there came a tumble for Navy

after such a splendid rushing attack.
Army Scores Again.
There was one more score by Army in
the fourth period, this after a long for
ward pass from Prichard to MeTrillat,
and then Prichard carried it over from
the 2-yard line.
Neither team seemed to have a goal

Army-Navy Songs and YeHs
Heard at Annual Grid Game

Special to The Washington Herald.
Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 2S-The Cadets

ing, explosive rocket yell Of the Army;
the swelling siren of the Middies; the
screeching Army shout adapted from the
old Rebel yell of 81 to IS. and the IA
nous Navy automobile-an these split the
air around Franklin Field here today.
There was certain picturesqueness
about the Army and Navy yells, il a yell
can be called picturesque, that somehow
seems to distinguish them from college
yells, although really there was little diff
ference Perhaps the Cadets and Mid
dies don't get so much opportunity to
shout them forth as college youths do,
and when they sdo-well. they do.
As to the songs, there were the old
favorites and some new ones. Navy's

mated all their others, was not only

Charley Brickley's Story
Of the Army-Navy Game
BY CHARLES e. BRICKLEY,
OHarvard's Football Captain)

while Navy missed an easy chance for
field goal
The Army punting game was a big
factor in the result. Then again, the
Prichard to Merrillat combination was al
most impossible to stop in forward pass
ing.
Army outplayed Navy almost man for
man. The ArIny's secondary defense was
much better drilled than Navy's and
stopped nearly all Nays attempts at
forward passes.
In the individual players. Prichard and
Merriilat were the most conspicuous.
Merrilat was in every play, blocked a
punt, just missed blocking many more,
and in addition to this was on the re-
ceiving end of all the Army forward
passes,
Hodgeson punted well and also carried
the ball in fine manner, McEwan also

 Judge Philpot sought to expedie the hearing by every possible means eliminating superflous and unneces- sary testimony and such as was not relevant to the case. Just prior to adjournment he asked to know if the bulk of evidence could be gotten in this morning and afternoon. The re- monstrants announced that it was not assured just when the case could be finished from their standpoint, but that a sufficient number of witnesses would be produced today. It was stated that many witnesses labored under a misunderstanding as to their appearing in court yesterday and for that reason did not appear.
 Judge ?hilpot said that he was not going to have other than rapidity in handling the case and intimated that the case should be brought to close by Saturday night.
 A portion of the late afternoon was devoted to going over the list and striking off some names where there petition.
