Point Cadets defeated the Annapolis
midshipmen 20 to 0 IN their annual
game on Franklin field this afternoon
The score was represented by three
touchdowns and safety The game
was one-sided, the Army showing SUI
perior power in carrying the ball and
in defending the goal.
There was much laxness Of play
during the game and the forward
passing of both sides as a rule was
poor. The Navy appeared weak on
| the defense and rarely held the Army
when it tried to penetrate the Sailors
line or go around the ends. The
Army's victory makes the record Of
the two teams a tie, each now having
won nine games with one tie
The usual spectacular demonstra-
ton followed the game, with the en-
thusiastic gray-clad cadets the cen
tral figures. They planted the black,
gold and gray. their academic coiors,
in the center Of the field, then formed
circle that was as wide as the
hnaaafh th bsre aa )
lhugle call from The half dozen buglers
and then ensued the Wild rush to the
colors, the whole circle closing in
around the color bearers. The cadets
formed a procession and paraded
around the field, while the sad and
silent Middies looked on.
Good Weather Prevails
The great annual outdoor sport
spectacle, the Army-Navy football CON
test with its attendant glitter of gold
braided uniforms, the patriotic music
oi the, big brass bands, the riot of
colors and the inspiring marching of
midshipmen and cadets, found the
weather all that was to be desired
fer the game on Franklin field today
The sky was clear and there was
.crispness in the air that made heavy
wraps feql comfortable.
