With Roberts And Others In
Backheld, Midshipmen Have
Little Difficulty To Win
NO ATTEMPT MADE
TO PILE BIG SCORE
Coach Dobie Changes Players AS
Soon AS Game Is Clinched And
Youngsters Carry On

Presenting a team which is still far
from its full strength, the Midshipmen
had no difficulty in winning from the
St. Helena Training Station Team, of
near Norfolk, Va, by sc to O, Saturday
afternoon. Dobie seldom permits his
team merely to run up big score on
their opponents, but prefers to give
other players a chance to have some
experience in matches. This was his
line of action on Saturday, and after
his team had scored 26 points in the
first quarter and 20 in the second, he
put in a new man for every position.
There is no doubt that the Academy
team could have passed the century
mark with ease if that had been their
wish, but the scoring was not so rapid
with the second team men in, nor was
their any attempt to pull off the spec
tacular plays that meant rapid scoring
Using simple plays almost altogether
the midshipmen had no difficulty in
pushing the ball along, and they stuck
to this line, mainly punches outside of
tackle, and a few longer runs.
AS the team started, it was prob
ably little stronger individually than
it was last Saturday. Butler was not
in the lineup, having hurt his foot,
but Roberts was, and the stocky little
half did the lion share of the ground
gaining and scoring. Severn, who
did so we'll a week ago, appeared
again, and again showed class. The
other backs were Coombs, high-rat-
ing substitute of last year, and Raw
lings, who had much experience at
the University of Cincinnati. Both
played acceptably. The line was the
same as at the start last Saturday,
except that Even was at his regular
place, righ end, instead of Lowe.
The visitors played with determi-
nation to the very end, but they were
not of a class with the midshipmen,
as the score indicates. They showed
an acquaintance with forward pass
plays which would probably have
made them dangerous against team
not so well coached as the Midship-
men A pass from Hendricks to
Schmidt in the second quarter net
ted a gain of 40 yards, and there were
others for small gains. On straight
plays, they did not make first down
during the game. An interesting in
cident of the game was the participa-
tion, during most of the final quar-
ter, of Bill" Ingram, the captain of
the team, who has been on sick leave.
The hold which the dashing leader
has on the regiment was indicated
by the hearty greeting from the stand
which he received. He showed no
evidence of his recent illness, but hit
the line in his usual powerful style,
made most of his teams ground in the
final quarter, and scored its only
touchdown.
Hendricks and Neal put up fair
games in the backfield for the visitors,
the latter punting well, while Waybo,
at right tackle played a most ener-
getic and plucky game.
The Midshipmen started the game
with four fourth Snively
left end; King, right tackle; Severn
and Rawlings in the backfeld. The
work of King will bear watching. He
is powerful and rugged and knows the
game. There is reason to believe
that he may soon be classed among
the best tackles the Naval Academy
has ever had. The lineup:
Naval Academy-Snively, left end
Scaffe, left tackle; Saunders, left
guard, Arthur, Centre; Perry, right
guard; King, right tackle; Even
