Edwards Parades by Himself

utlaSeu the start OF the game. There
were three or four small paradcs, then
large parade, consisting Of Big Bill"
hdWards, without band, paraded in
stately fashion along the cinder paths
ms display Of enthusiasm caused
1he Nav! to reveal the fact that cheer
leading was rot lost ar. in the nauti-
ga! service. One lone ensign, with voice
and plenty Of gesture caused few
admlrals, lieutenant commanders and
many ensIgns to burst into the Navy
yell. TINS caused something Of futter
IN little group of gray-coa cd West
Point cadets who had coms to watch
the game from the Princeton side.
he Navy won the toss and elected to
defend the south goal The first quar-
ter started like an even battle, and the
ball was kept in the Navy territory.
Once or twice the Princeton team
seemed to have the husky Navy eleven
nervous with quick shift Of three men
TO either flank. This opened up the
Navy defense, but forward passes from
this formation failed three times
Toward the end of the quarter the
Navy started a compact and steady
march that threatened the Princeton
goal line for the first time. Noycs tore
through left tackle and slipped through
the secondary defense 1t looked as
,
the Princeton quarterback, downed him,
with the goal line in reach. Again
Noyes plunged through for five yards.
Forward Pass Unsuccessful
The Navy tried a forward pass.
Cruise fumbled the ball and the Prince
ton forwards were rushing on him, but
the Navy quarter kept his head recov-
cred the ball and make quick pass to
Even for gain of fifteen yards. The
quarter ended with the ball on Prince
ron's 25-yard line and the sons of Old
Nassau little depressed
In the second quarter the Navy
cheer leader was giving Joyous imita-
tons of Nick Altrock. The captains
clated. But the Orange and Black line
could not be rammed, torpedoed or
machine-g -gunned. 1t held, and the
Princeton eleven got the ball
Then things happened with bewil-
dering rapidity. Lourie shot a for
ward pass of SO yards to Davis. The
shift of three to the end bewildered
the embryo mariners. This time Lourie
shot another beautifully accurate pass
to Raymond for gain of ten yards.
This brought the ball on the Navy's
16-yard line.
Again the Princeton shift opened up
the Navy defense Louric held the ball
as the Navy mon scattered like a
flushed covey Of quail. He Tented
twice as though he intended to make
forward pass. Then he picked a wide
and obvious opening and dashed
through fifteen yards for touchdown
lie was tackled by three Navy men as
be reached the line, but he wriggled
across. keck kicked the goal.
Try at Field Goal Fails
For the rest OF the quarter the Navy
was kept on the defensive. The Navy
.punted to the 3s1yard line, where
Iourie made a fair catch. Keck tried
for a field goal from placement, but
was just a yard wide of the posts.
The puntng of Scheerer was the fea-
ture of the quarter In the third
quarter Lourie made dash of fifteen
yards through most Of the Navy de
fense, but after the Prncetons were
at tries at the line they
kicked into Navy territory The Navy
tried to crash through the Orange and
Black line and were gaining steadily
when they were penalized for being off
iide.
Finally the Navy was forced to punt |
sarrity ran the ball back for thirty |
Iards through the entire feet of cadets.
