Last Game of Season Before Middies
Meet Army Eleven Next
Saturday.

g ANNAPOLIS, Md, November 21.-With
team made up largely of second
string men, the Annapolis Midshiprnen
won from Ursinus College of Pennsy1-
vania on the gridiron here this after
noon by a score of 33 to 2. 1t was the
last game of the season for Navy before
the all-important contest with the West
Point Cadets next Saturday. and the
Navy contingent Is well pleased with
the work of the Middies. Though de-
feated by so decisive a score, the Penn
sylvanians made very creditable
showing. Only once during the game,
however, did they seriously endanger
the Navy goal line. That was In the
last five minutes of play. when Schaub,
who by the way played brilliant
game at left halfback.. intercepted a
Navy forward pass and made a brill
liant run of 40 yards and was not
downed until he had reached the Navy
10-yard mark. The visitors made a
valiant EFFORT to cross the Navy goal,
bringing the forward pass into play
when they found they could not make
much headway through the line, but
the alert Middies frustrated their every
attempt. They advanced the ball to
the 5-yard line and lost on downs. I'm
mediately afterward, however, they
managed to chalk up two points, when
Smith made a wide pass to Culbert, who
Navy goal line. .Schaub was on the
Navy man like a flash, and thus Ursinus
tailed a safety.
Visitors Start Well.
The visitors got away to a wiirlwind
start, and for time. it looked as
though they would give the Middies
much trouble. but their progress was
soon checked. After this one burst of
speed the Middies assumed the often
sive and tore through the Ursinus line
and skirted the ends almost at will.
In the first period, they registered two
touchdowns. from which one of the
goals was kicked. In the second
period the visitors seemed much
stronger. and held the Sailors without
a score. But in the second half the
Middies had things all their own way,
with the exception of the closing min
utes OF play, when the Pennsylvanians
gave them the one big scare. Neither
Miles or Mitchell, the first choice man
for quarterback. was In the Navy line
up today. Vail was chosen for the
job. and he drove the team in fine style;
and his good work in other respects is
indicated by the fact that he scored
four of the five touchdowns His end
running and handling of punts also
were features Blodgett, the regular
left halfback and the best punter OF
the squad, as well as goal kicker, did
not get into the game at ALL Incl
dentally. Alexander, an understudy,
played a fast game and gained ground
regularly. Failing was at the other
half at the start and was bulwark.
Many Subs Sent In.
Numerous substitutions were made in
the course OF the game however Bates
played nearly the whole game at full
back, and continued the good work
shown in the contest with Colby last
Saturday. He was strong on the de-
sensive, and also ripped through the
visiting line for substantial gains. On
one occasion he tore through for a
sprint of 20 yards. 1t Is generally be-
lieved by those who have followed
the progress of the Middies through
the season that Bates will be the final
selection for fullback, displacing H.
Harrison, a veteran of two seasons.
He has played a stronger game than
Harrison lately, and, furthermore. Har.
rison has been confined to the sick list.
Culbert was substituted for Bates in
the second half, and he, too. played a
very aggressive game. For ursinus.
the all-round work Of Schaub, Ken
nedy and Bowman was excellent. The
hard and sure 'tackling Of Kennedy, the
quarterback, was especially good.
Both teams played old time foot ball
for the greater part of the game. Each,
however, essayed the forward pass on
half. The Navy get away with two
long ones. between Culbert and T. Har-
rison. while the visitors were success
