1t may be said without fear of con-
Training Station, Hampton, gave the
midshipmen much more trouble than
any team which has opposed them this
season, though the final score, 81 to
6, showed a rather substantial margin
in favor of the midshipmen. The Wis
itors kept the local Navy lads working
all the time, and they had to fight for
everything they got except the first
touchdown, which came so promptly
that it indicated that the visitors had
hardly gotten their bearing.
In no quarter did the midshipmen
score more than two touchdowns, and
in two of them they were limited to
a single score. The final quarter was
a draw, to g. The visitors made the
final score of the day, Christenberry,
who had been substituted for Oldham
at quarterback, getting the ball from
scrimmage, and running S5 yards for
a touchdown, skirting the midship-
mems left end. This young man used
to play on Davidson College, and was
one of the many former college play
ers who were with the Base eleven.
The midshipmen received the first
kickoff, and scored in less than two
minutes, using but four plays. Butler
carried the ball over, though Ingram
and Rawlings gained most of the
ground, as they did throughout the
game. Butler, however, carried the
ball over on five out of the six touch
downs. A big fault of the Academy
team lay in the number of goals they
missed after touchdowns. One out of
six is poor proportion, and such kick
ing would mean the loss of many
games.
The visitors put up fine article in
the way of defense, though their at
tack amounted to little, outside of
their one great play, Christenberry's
run, feat of individual playing They
were greatly helped by the fine work
on end of Moore and King. and the
punting of Folsey. Godsey, who did
the punting after Godsey lefs the game,
also did we'll The midshipmen lost
some ground on several penalties in
fiicted for holding.
Of interest in connection with the
game was the presence of Commander
Charles f. Macklin, U. S. Naval Re-
serve, who commands the Operating
Base. AS an old athlete, he was
greatly interested in the game. In
fact, Comdr Macklin has captained
both the baseball and football teams
of the Academy, something which has
very seldom been done. He was for
merly adjutant general of Maryland,
and is very we'll known and popular
in Annapolis. One son graduated from
the Academy last year, and another is
midshipman, member of the third
class, now The latter was chatting
his father over the defeat of the lat
ter's team. The summary:
