NAVY AND REGULAR
GAME ENDS IN TIE
Both Teams Fail to Score II Best Grid
Contest of Season.


Perhaps the largest crowd that ever
Witnessed a football exhibition in this
city saw the Pensacola Regulars and
the Navy team from the Air Station
in the best grid battle Of the season at
Palmetto Beach yesterday afternoon.
The game ended in 90 tie, neither
team being able to cross the others
goal line Each team had scores of
loyal supporters, and during the crit
fcal stages Of the game the referee had
to call halt until the frenzied throng
cleared the field.
The contest was enough TO nave sat
isfied the most critical sport loving fan.
During the first half of the game the
BAH was worked up and down the field,
never going nearer than the 15-yard
line but in tn esecond half the weight
of the Navy men began to tell slightly
and once or twice they threatened to
score. But the 'Regs" managed to
withstand the onslaught.
AT the end Of the first three quarters
the ball was in mid-field, within five
yards Of the 50-yard line each time
The men on both teams Started off with
rush and fought like demons all
through the game in an effort to score
but that much coveted score never
came.
It would be hard to pick an individ-
ual star of the game, but there were
several men who by their aggressive
ness deserve special mention. Arthur
Skey and Breaad did some mighty fine
work for the Navy, but they were ably
assisted by their colleagues. Creary,
Gaines, Jeudevine and Sanchez showed
up well for the Regulars, but every
man on the team played a game that
was credit to the team and them
selves.
In the fourth quarter the Navy re-
tanned the bali most of the time. and
it was then that the most critical stage
OF the game came. They put on every
thing they had and worked the ball
down the field on line and or tackle
plays to Pensacola's one yard nne, but
the Regulars realized their situation
and held them for downs The Regu-
lars received the ball on their one-yard
line with only one minute to play.
Gaines Immediately punted out Of dan
ser, and the crisis was-over The Navy
made last deperate attempt, but it
was now too late, the game was over.
