DOBlE DENIES
ORDERING PLAY
Navy Coach Had Nothing
to Do with Saunders
''Brainstorm' Opinions

The reports of the incident We're
confused, and one rumor had ii that
Saunders made the tackle under in
structions from Coach GilmOur Dobie.
the lean Westerner spiked it. In way
of explanation, he said:
The nervous excitement was too
much for Saunders. He couldn't con-
troll himself That's all there was
to it. There was no question about
the illesality of his act and, of course.
the touchdown was allowed
Il can't understand this rumor that
he acted by dire ctiOn. II would
have been fOOlhardy had l attempted
such thing. 1t was plain that Eiel-
So. could not have been caught by
man eligible to make the tackle, and
every one saw Saunders rush from the
side lines. Furthermore. several min
utes before, ! told Saunders to warm
up as ! intended to put him in the
game. He was running up and down
the sidelinss when the play oC-
Cured. l was not near him"
Saunders is i'll over the incident,
and states that he acted upon an i'm
pulse and without consideration.
Chicago, Ill, Nov. 25.-That freak
tackle of the Great Lakes Annapolis
game promised today to gtand forth
in football history as vividly as the
error of Fred Merkle in baseball.
Midwest football experts are in
clined 20 the belief that Kielson.
Great Lakes half. tackled by a Navy
substitute. who ran out to the field
from the bench. was not entitled to
the score, as allowed by the officials.
1t was held here that a I5-yard
penalty on Navy for unsportsman-
like conduct should have been in
ifcted. Five yards for "palpably un-
fair play not covered by the rules
was their suggestion. All that is
merely technical. Permitting Great
Lakes to win. TO e. whs held to be
just if not strictly according to rule.
