MARINES TIE

Service Elevens Battle to
IL. Count in Spectacular
Title Contest.

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. Am the
dying moment of the gridiron strug-
gle at Homewood Field today with
Quantico Marines leading, to 0, and
Secretary of Navy Daniels and the
other 10, 900 or 1900 spectators feel
ing confident that the outcome in
the first service contest of this kind
had been decided, the game athletes
of the Great Lakes Naval Training
Station, of Chicago, started their
fifth march down the slippery grid
iron and tied the count to Z.
Four times in the previous fifty
seven minutes Of battling they had
ploughed consistently through the
defense of the Marines but had
neven reached the goal. a tumble on
the 25-yard line, two intercepted
passes and two passes that were
grounded being the various ways in
which their scoring chances ended.
The Marines had scored early in
the fourth quarter by means of a
sensational 80-yard run for a touch
down by Brown. quarterback of the
battlers from Quantico. The Marines
had the ball on their own 20-yard
lineNwhe Brown broke through the
line and started his mad dash. He
sidestepped two of the Navy backs,
and stiff-armed a third out tof his
path.
The road ahead was clear. In his
wake, however, came Whitehill,
who was later to have the day. For
forty yards they raced. apparently
not three feet separating them. To
the spectators it appeared as IL
Whitehill could lurch forward and
grab the flying Marine. At the s.
yard line Brown was weakening
and his pursuer was wobbling. The
Marine won, lurching over the
goal for the first touchdown. The

Navy Yard and Rex football
elevens take the field this afternoon
at American League Park TO settle
the District semi-pro title in the
seasons finale.
Both squads closed a session OF
heavy practice last night and the
rival coaches pronounced the elevens
In the best of shape for the clash
Of the year this afternoon.
Slight changes in the line-up ot
the teams were made in the final
sessions at both camps. Coach Josn
Licarione. Of the Gun Makers, placed
Schofield at quarter, Bleire and Nc
Bride at halfs and b. Licarione at
full. as the backheld for his eleven
in the drill last night and said he
would start this quartet today. Ths
combination forms a formidabls Q
scoring machine, with speed. drive
and defensive ability In the forma-
tion.
Coach Wright was undecided OF,
his starting lineup last night with
the worry centered on his forwards
II is a, toss up between B Turner
and W. r. Mcdonald for the left
guard station, and between vern-
stein and J. Mcdonald for the pivot
JOB. All OF the men are figured good
for a chance in the game sooner or
later.
The two lines are about evenly
matched. with plenty OF weight on
both sides.
II will be a battle Of backhelds
and ends with the best open-styse
executors holding the edge. In this
department little can be said in ad-
vance for either outfit.
Both coaches are hoping for a
dry field today. The grounds were
too slippery yesterday to permit
standard play. II King Pluvius for
gets the District today the field
should be in about par condition.
One Of the largest crowds Of the
season is expected. Both teams have
developed extensive followings. and
