One-Sided Triumph

Showing a fine variety of offensive
plays and a stiff defense, the Midship-
men quite surprised their warmest ad-
herents Saturday afternoon when
they opened the season by defeating
the eleven of the Newport Training
Station AZ to z. The visitors brought
a powerful team and were accompa-
MED by loyal band of fifty rooters,
but they could make none of their
plays go, and their only score was on
tumble which they recovered. In view
of their splendid apparent condition
and experience, the visitors really
made a poor showing, securing first
down but once during the game.
1t was particularly to the credit of
the Academy team, which contained
a large number of young and mex
perienced players, that their heads
and their punch were not lost when
the visitors secured the first score.
Perry kicked off for the Academy,
and Youngs.rom returned, and, on the
.hird play, Severn fumbled and Wiz
chester picked up the ball and ran
thirty yards for touchdown This only
served as a spur to the Midshipmen,
who secured three touchdowns the
same quarter, and one or more in
each other period. Butler scored first
for the Academy, the Midshipmen
using almost every kind of play in
carrying the ball along after receiving
the second kickoff.
Severn scored the other two during
the period, and an additional one in
the final quarter He is fourth
classman and played with st. PauPs
School last season, and was easily the
star of the game in ground-gaining. He
appears to have real ability as an end
runner, and is likely to make repu-
tation this season. Both of the Navy's
ends were comparatively green, neith-
er having played before for the Acad-
emy, yet they were impregnable on
the fianks, while the line, easily out
weighed twenty pounds to the man,
never permitted itself to give ground.
In all, the result of the game was as
creditable to the skill of Dobie as it
was to the stamina of his charges.
While the Midshipmen marred their
game to some extent by fumbling, they
played dashing game and showed
expertness in a variety of plays that
could hardly have been expected at
this stage of the season. They used
forward pass plays repeatedly, and
made good on at least half of the dozen
or more attempts Short, sharp pass,
just inside of the end position, was
the play most frequently used.

Naval Academy-Snively, left end ;
Scaffe, left tackle; Saunders, left
guard; Arthur, center; Perry, right
