attack. scoring two touchdowns in the
first six minutes Of play in that period.
Tech scored four touchdowns in each Of
the first three periods, tallying two
more in the fnal period.
The Indians were unable to break
Techs line defense, and practically
their only ground gaining was by the
end-running Of Tibbetts and Miles. Car
Isle did not accomplish a forward pass
and fumbled frequently. Both teams
were penalized often for off-side play.
In the last two periods the visitors
apparently were helpless before the on
rush Of the Southerners, Tech keeping
the ball entirely in their opponents
territory. At no stage Of the game was
the Jacket goal in danger. Carlisle's
nearest approach to the locals line was
80 yards. after Tibbetts Melted 20
yards on an end run.
Strupper, Hill and Guyon, formerly of
Carlisle, starred for the Tech eleven.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Nd. November IL
Drawing first blood through drop
kick goal after a forward pass and a
16-yard penalty. turned out to be but
small consolation for villanova in Its
annual game with Navy here today. az
the final figures were so to 3 in favor of
the Admira1s.
The lone tally was first brought near
through q 3b-yard aerial shot from We
gand to McCrady soon after the kick
of. The penalty, coming Immediately
after. was followed by the first demon
stration Of the rock-bound defense of
tho locals. Failing to gain. the Penn
sylvanians called upon their star. the
speedy little McGuckain. who. standing
on the 35-yard mark, booted over an ex-
ceptionally pretty kick. but this was
the end Of the visitors chances.
The only thing villanova did there
after was to get away some forward
passes. tho completion of which cast re-
Election upon tho MILDLY defense. The
never have been completed as many
times as they were.
The Middies for the most part, ex-
cept when a forward pass would get
the leather beyond the middle field
mark. kept the play in Villanova ter
ritory. They relied almost entirely
upon off tackle plunges. ana center
bucks. with an occasional resort to an
end run. But the tremendously force
full charging OF the Admiral forwards,
backed up by a slashing attack from
the backfleld men, was all that was
needed to pile up total Of IL touch
downs.
The outstanding feature of the game
was the brilliant open field running of
Roberts for the Navy. This stocky,
but speedy little demon got away time
after time for beautiful dashes. during
which he would keep going even after
being brought to his knees, and shak-

gone in for canning on a large scale.
Believing that 1t will be to its inter
est to conserve and save food products
of every sort along the lines laid down
by the food administration. the club has
canned all the corn, tomatoes. turnips
and other vegetables raised on its land
during the past year which were not
consumed during the summer season.
Over 1000 jars of preserved vege-
tables and some fruits are now on the
shelves and the members may have
canned vegetables all through the

Jack Hutchinson of the Glenview Club
of Chicago. winner OF the patriotic
open tournament held under the aus

strated the fine quality of his golf in
the professional match at the Column

though he and his partner. Alec Camp
bell of Baltimore. lost to Burgess and
Mcleod. Hutchison's forte, his long
shots. was more in evidence in last

here last spring. The bail he hit on
the first hole in the afternoon carried

never been done before from the back

declared that in his opinion Francis
Ouimet was the finest golfer in the
amateur ranks in this country. Asked
as to the comparative merits of Chick
Evans and Ouimet, Campoell SAID
Chick is undoubtedly one OF the
greatest amateurs in the world, and
can hold his own with any one in
single match, but for sustained play
and general excellence l believe Outmet
is the finest amateur that has ever
been developed in this country Evans
probably is the greatest player In the
country at a distance Of $50 and down
from the hole but his tee shots and his
work on the greens are not as STEADY
as those Of the Boston boy. Outmet has
no one special shot. His whole game is
well rounded out, and has to my
knowledge no weak spot" Campbell
should have knowledge on the sub
Ject, for Ouimet caddied for BIN for
six years while Campbell was located
at the Brookline Country Club. and
during that time the former amateur
champion laid the foundation of the
game which was to bring him a fame
which has come to few American anna
teurs.
