Struggle That Drew

il was 2:15 O'Clock when the service
clevens took the field at the Polo
Grounds yesterday to start the battle
which the Army won by score OF Ia
OF 0. Captain Miles of the Navy and
Captain Weyand of the Army met and
tossed the coin 10 decide the goals and
kickoff.
Captain Miles won and defended the
east goal. and the Army kicked OIL
starting a battle fraught with thrilling
moments. The word picture has been
painted elsewhere. Here, play by play,
and tackle by tackle. the course of The
ball is followed up and down the field.
FIRST PERIOD
Craig gathered in Olpnants kickoff
on the Navy's 25-yard line and wrig-
gled back nine yards before he was
stoned and piled up. Westphal ripped
through the line for six yards on fake
kick. and then proceeded to tear of a
neat little dash of dozen yards around

who handled il clearly and twisted bacH
five yards to the Army's 20-yard line.
Coffin dove into the line, but rebounded
for n loss of yard. and Coffin punted
to Craig on the Nays 42-yard line.
Martin set the north stand ablaze
with blue and gold when he got of a
plunge of three yards into the centre
of the line, and again Won Heimberg
punted 10 Gerhardt. who caught 1t on
his own 15-yard line and ran back

desperate Hold 'em, Navy. Hold EN-.
Right we'll did the Navy hold them,
but il was too much TO ask. Ford
smashed at the centre Of the line for
a gain of two yards. and he added an
other short stride in a dash at Gilman.
Coffin found the way to the line blocked
and turned back for a slight loss.
Gerhardt was in doubt, and, being in
doubt, played tIumps. He called on
Olphant. and the mighty Perdue man
crashed his way past the frened clutch
of Kercher. stepped away from Wards

this play and was helped off the held.
Craig ran two yards past Jones, and on
the next play Coffin intercepted Craigs
pass, but gained nothing. AT this june
ture Steam Roller Hank Blodgett, the
former star of the High School of Com
merce, of this city, was rushed INTO the
fray, replacing Won Heimburg at left
end.
Gerhardt at once tried the mettle o.
the newcomer and ran Oliphant at him.
Hank smashed the interference TO
splnters and nailed the runner IN his
tracks, and Coffin puntcd on the next
down. Blodgett was called back IN KICK
formation and Craig ordered a long
forward pass. Johnson overran the
pass. which was fully 40 yards. Ger
hardt came back 20 yards to the Nays
Seward line. The Blue line held firm
against e lire attack and forward
pass on the fourth down grounded. Il
was Nays ball.
On the first play Bodgett shot
beautiful forward pass to Johnson, who
had the ball right in his arms and
dorpped il. while the north stands
groaned. Blodgett then sent a long
punt 10 Oliphant. It was long, but high
as we'll, and the ends covered II per
fcctly. The Army runner was stopped
short Coffin soon punted. and Craig
resorted to forward passing again.
Bodgett again shot a pass right TO
Johnson, but the latter again dropped
il. The officials penalized the Army ten
yards for interfering with the play
Martin then nit the line Tor loss OF
four yards.
Captain Miles Of the Navy then got
into the game, replacing Failing. On
the first play he fumbled a pass from
the centre and turned his ankle trying
to recover the ball. He was carried off
the field. and Orr took his place. Orr
played quarterback, and Craig went IN
at halfback Blodgett threw another
forward pass, and this time Martin, the
Navy fullback, was there. making
wonderful catch as he raced. Two
more forward passes were grounded,
and Blodgett sent another long punt
booming down the field. Oliphant was
dumped hard right where he stood.
Oliphant broke away on another run
of twenty-five yards. lie picked his
openings with uncanny skill, and with
stiff arms threw tacklers right and
left. leaving them clutching blindly at
his fleeing heels. Along toward the
end Of the game the Navy held for
Gowns on its own 20-yard line. and
after Blodgett had punted far down the
field time was called. and the football
season was over for another year.

strength TO the secondary line OF de-
fence. cspecially'against forward pass
ing. but on the first down he stuck
closely to his position, and the Navy
quarterback missed several chances TO
take advantage of this in his forward
pass attack, used so largely IN the
second half. In one case, at least,
when in Army territory, forward pass
might have worked on the first down,

him up. He was as strong IN the

Of his punting; McEwan, because OF

around effectiveness, deserve mention.
Craig, in spite Of his unfortunate
tumble, was by all odds the most con
spicuous man on the Navy side. lie
was fast and clever in broken field
