Great Lakes, despite its victory, oio
NOT impress the spectator. Aside from
DriscoiI, no man in the backheld
seemed better than ordinary. the
ends, Halas and Reichle, from ILLINOIS,
and the tackles, Blackjack. from Notre
Dame, and Ecklund, from Minnesota,
were better than their opponents. Aho
vet Evan, the Navy end, did quite as
well as any on the field. He was spe-
eiaIIy alert in following the ball, as
witness his intercepting OF forward
pass and his recoveries of a tumble
and a blocked kick.
Great Lakes was playing its sixth
game against representative college
elevens. including one with Rutgers.
Navy was playing its first real oppo-
nent of the year. And even then. the
Niddies outstayed their foes, and IN
the second half, outplayed them. It
should have been a Navy victory,
though nothing is taken from Great
Lakes
Offered DO Excuses.
This is Great Lakes best team, I"
said Lieut.. Clarence ]. McReavy. U.

1T we are beaten, we shall have no
excuses to offer. We have made
several changes in the lineup from
that starting the Rutgers game, but
in each case the change has put int"
tiday's game a man expected TO
play better than his predecessor.
That's all. II we lose. well take our
medicine"
As things happened. Great Lakes
was about to be beaten at least II
to 0 when EieIson, Of Northwestern
saw his opportunity and leaped upon
il with both feet and hands. Navy
had trounced The gobs all through
that second half and richly deserved
? the triumph.
Football, like politics. is filled with
the unexpected. Not a man on Far
ragut Field believed. Great Lakes
had a chance to win when Eielson
was seen streaking il up the side
lines. 1t should have been a Navy
victory, but wasn't because of greasy
fingers And that tumble in the
Navy backfield may bring about an
unsatisfied argument as to which
team is entitled to the championship
of the 1915 campaign.
Pittsburgh Looks Best.
