History has preserved the name OF
Captain Lawrence because he could
say Don't give up the ship" when his
vessel was sagging under fire, but in
the last period Of the game at Frank
lin Field this afternoon Robert Moody
Parkinson showed courage born OF an
even greater optimism.
The score stood at IL 20 0 in favor
Of the Army, and the figures do not
half tell what the West Pointers had
done and we're doing to the Navy. Blu;
Moody stood with his back 20 the grid
iron and called TO the middes. "Give
'em You're in the Navy Now" And
the middies gave him all their voices
In good measure as they sang:
Away. away with sword and drum.
Here we come. here We come
Looking FOR something to put on the bum
We've sot 20 beat the Army.
As the last notes were shouted out
the Army made another touchdown.
The cadets Of West Point jumped I'D
to cheer, but no one heard the shout
OF the vlctors. To the beat of the
arms, hands. feet, head and body OF
Robert Moody Parkinson the middies
we're giving the four "N' yell, "Navy,
Navy, Navy, N-N-N-N, A-A-A-A.
V-V-v-V, Y-Y-Y-Y! Navy Team.
Team! Team" and in the roar Of that
stupendous stutter all other sound
died. Stronger may be the arms and
legs and the backs of the Army boys,
but the Navy has the lungs.
: Not only in set cheers did the Navy
/ men show their power. During the in
tervals between songs and slogans Par
kinson held up a card with the cap
tlon "Aoise." And there was noise.
Another card said "Hooray, Yell,"
This seemed to be a somewhat infor-
NAL affair, and from a distance, 1T
least, it sounded much the same as
Noise"
But, after all, the use OF the cards
was unnecessary for the production OF
tumult among the Navy rooters. Only
when the leader showed the command
pipe down" did they cease from cheer
ing.
Middies First to Reach Field.
The Middies were the first to reach
the field. In column squad they
marched in, wheeling to column fours
and finally drawing up before their
stand in company front. We got our
military terms from a bystander, who
, said he had served in the national
guard. Dixie" Yankee Doodle" and
Maryland, My Maryland" were the Sc
lections played by the Navy band. The
Middies had reached their seats before
the goat arrived. II. F. Grimm, jr., OF
New York, was the keeper of the goat
and he rushed his charge to Frankli1
Field in a taxicab.
At that the goat nearly missed seeing
the game, as the state of Delaware
objected TO mis- coming through from
Annapolis on account of quarantine
against the hoof and mouth disease. IL
became necessary to invoke the aid of
the federal government and also to
promise the state of Delaware that the
goat would travel through without get
ting off the train. But as the Navy
men said, why should a we'll trained
goat want to stop off in Delaware?
The glory of the goat was shortlived.
There were so many other celebrities.
The showing of Cabinet officials was
not so strong as usual. Secretary Dan
ieI. of the Navy came early, bringing
his own cheering section, which con-
sisted of three sons and a daughter.
/ Secretary Garrison of the Army was
next to arrive, and then Secretary
Houston of the Department of Agri-
culture. George Dewey, the famous
line bucker Of Manila Bay, was cheered
from both sides of the field, and Leon
ard Wood was also recognized AMI
greeted heartily.
