worked the ball up the Nays 13-yard
line.
Here the Army held council Of
war and resorted 20 strategy. Oil
plant dropped back as though he
would attempt another field goal. This
pulled the Navy line apart and had the
Middies guessing.
AS the ball was snapped to Oliphant
his running mate, Vidal, surged ahead,
and Oliphant shot the ball 10 the
plebe. Fisher, the Navy end. was d.
rectly in the path of Vidal, and the
Army back was surging ahead with a
momentum that he could not check.
Back at the University Of South Da-
kota. Cadet Eugene Vidal used TO be a
high hurdle runner. He shot a glance
at the MILDLY, crouched low TO pin his
knees together. Just as Fisher spread
out his eager arms to make the tackle
Vidal leaped five feet into the air ant
cleared the obstruction as lightly as
hunter clearing a barrier. He crossed
the line for the second touchdown.
In the first two periods the Navy had
very little chance TO show what IL
might do if it had the ball. The Army,
which has one OF the best balanced
backields in the East, monopolized the
ball, much to the discontinue Of the
Secretary of the Nsgy and greatly TO
the chagrin Of the Navy goat.
President Is Missed
The big side show which usually
graces the service game had TO be
omitted, owing TO the cold which Presi-
dent Wilson contracted. The President
was scheduled 20 walk across the field
from the Navy side to converse with
some of the generals and TO pass the
time Of day and the temperature OF
the same with the commandant Of
West Point.
They rang in a substitute show, but
Il did not get much of hand. A few
governors, mayors, generals, sdmirals
and photographers psrsded TO the
centre of the field and conyersed in
low. earnest tones. The topic was not
disclosed, but il is believed that most
Of the conversation related TO the late
election.
Immediately after the second half
began the Navy goat began 70 recover
its composure and the middies seemed
10 come back full of fight. II was in the
third period that Admiral-to- be Good

cnce In 4 lifetime and took Il.
Vidal, OF the Army, was waiting back
to get the bail FOR a punt. The Annap-

the ball was shot back by McEwan

The ball strues the rushing Navy

and tricky for . heavy lineman, gath

FOR the Army goal line. Vidal, who is
ten-second man in the hes ired-yard
dash, put after him. but Goodstein had
the sailing Roadway and forged across
the Army line.
Reifel, the Navy right guard, kicked
tho goal. The Navy was now in the
sailing chart for the first time with 7
points.
Fists Fly About.
In the third and concluding period
the Naval attack was getting stronger
and stronger Also the spirit Of rivalry
was much keener. Fists we're being
handled with considerable carclessness,
but AS both sides were mingling some
of the rudiments of the sport so loved
by the late Marquis Of Queensberry
with their football, the referee seemed
