KING -NANY

Coontz were among those of high sta
ton in naval circles who sat on the
west side.
Ten minutes later appeared the Army,
which in other years was first on the
scene. Like the Midshipmen. the Cadets
paraded four abreast. First was the.
regular army band in gray from West
Poit-real music makers. Right up
to the minute they were. those Cadets.
They marched with all the preciseness
and technical and eye pleasing niceties
which they show up on their own
plains Then followed the Cadet bano
vieing with the army post outfit in the
of its outpouring. All the while
1t rained.
After the Army players had tuned
up on the soggy field the Navy went
out for a spell. Bob Folwell their
civilian coach. was among them and
was seen to pat one after another on
the back. He was serious of mien
This game meant lot to the Navy.
but it also meant lot to him. Penn
sylvania had forsaSen him--cast him
off.
The Navy cavorted and kicked and
then came the toss. The Army won
and chose to take the kickoff and
to send the Navy to the south half of
the field. where the infield is covered
with thick. heavy. waterlogged sod.
Army Starts PromisingIy.
The officials entered the field--Dr.
Al Sharpe of Yale, the referee, in white
shirt and flannels, all rugged UP for a
lawn party. When the teams lined up
the crowd sat back expectant, silent.
only to break into a thunder OF cheers
| as the Navy kicked off and French ran
| the ball back for the Army. The Army
thundered again when Smythe made
| twenty-five yards around right end and
again as the Cadets kept up their fine
work and got off to one of the most
promising starts yet made by a West
| Point eleven.
| Using the peculiar 'tea party" forma-
| tion preparatory to putting the ball In
| playa formation borrowed from the
West-and making use of the. jump shift
| which Notre Dame had taught them,
the Cadets appeared to take the mid
shipmen by surprise. 1t was crash.
crash, run and run, and the Navy was
on the way to defeat. a fifteen yard
! penalty for holding stopped the Army.
but soon ii went on again and before
| long Breidster tried a. goal from a
placement from AZ yards. 1t failed,
! and the Navy got the ball.
| Bnrchct Like on Oliphant.
| And so they fought through the first
| period Barchet starring for the Navy
and the Navy coming back with sur
| prising showing on attack after It's par
tial failure on defence. 1t was the
Nays ball on the Army's 26-yard mark
/ a. tNI
| tho Army took that ball away on downs
| The boys were fighting.
IL was not long before the Navy
started memorable march Of &c yards
to n touchdown. The Army found Itself

the able Wood to punt. He did. and the
Navy made fair catch on It's own Al
yard marl-56 yards away from the
| Army goal line--the goal line which was
| destined TO be crossed even as 1t was
| crossed Just a year before by Koehler.
Barchet was first to carry the ball
| taking II % yards around the West
| Point right behind splendid interfer-
ence. Barchet scooted like an Oliphant
the most spectacular back the NAVY
has shown In years and years Then
there was a gain of 3 yards. another OF

with Larsen on the fourth down and 4
penaity Of five yards made 1t first down
and the Cadets in serious danger. That
| penalty played q big role in the defeat
OF the soldiers.
II was first down on the Army's g.
ward mark and the cadets were fighting
with admirable vigor. Koehler was
hurled back for loss. but Conroy made
ten yards and got to the f2-yard post Of
the soldiers. Fight! Fight Fight"
came from the Army side Of the field.
The Navy side was In turmoil Here
was victory in the making.
The Army fought with everything II
