oliphant Is q Star
As head coach Lieut.. c.. d. DAILY, pre-
dicted Halfbaek OliPhant was the
bright particular star Of the game and
his wonderful offensive and defensive
work kept the spcct&tors keyed to the
highest pitch. Twice the big star OF
the Perdue team of few seasons back
tore through the Navy lines and scored
touch downs. Then he ended each OF
these brilliant performances by kicking
a goal each time from touchdown, scor
ing in all fourteen points, all that were
made by the Army.

through the lines Oliphant scored his
touchdown and followed this up by
kicking n goal from touchdown. Al

seen that the Army would hold thcil
mastery of the Eituation.
In the second quarter the Navy brac
ed up somewhat and played defense
game.
Scored Second Touchdown
When the third quarter opened, the
Army secured the bali and well hanket
ON all sides, 0liphant carried the bal
across the Navy lines for his secOhd
touchdown Of the game. A moment
later he again kicked a true goal frou

up to II to 0 in favor of the Army.
Ingram's men played desperately
through the fourth period and tried time

from being without a score. The Army
though played its usual consistent game
and in a few moments the contest end
ed with the ball in the Army s hands
Cadets Always Favorites 70"
Prior to the game the betting wa,
10 to in favor of the Army and al
the opening of the contest had reached
to 10 TO 6, with little Navy money il

Army during the season and their well
known ability to score early, gave theil
hackers all sorts of confidence and ii
consequence they were backed heavy
to win.
