was a splendid boot, as the ball went
well behind Carolina's goal line, and
the visitors elected to put into play
by rushing from their 20-yard mark
Two plays directed at the Middies
line counted for a combined gain OF
eight yards; another failed, and then
with the two yards to cover in the
one remaining try, instead of punting
out of the danger zone, plunge was
directed at Navy's left side. The
Middies held firm and therefore Sc
cured the ball on downs. From that
point the embryo officers found it easy
picking, and six rushes carried the
ball across the opposing goal. From
then on the embryo officers had more
or less of a procession, and using old
time line tactics for the most part
moved down their opponents.
Seven T0uchdOwns Scored.
Seven times the Middies sailed
across the goal line of the foe for
touchdowns, and in each instance, the
right toe of King, husky right tackle
proved true, and sent the pigskin
squarely between the uprights. The

punted down the field, the efforts of

into touchdown soon thereafter.
But on the whole, the visitors line

Navy Contingent Pleased.
There was general satisfaction
among the Navy contingent over the
work of the Middies for their initial

there is every indication that they will
have heavy and fast aggregation.
