Annapolis.
The surprise was not so much
that the Middies took the long end |
( of the decision. for 1t was conceded |
TO be anybody's fight. but in the |
manner in which they did II. Any |
team that can play the Tigers of |
their feet from whistle. ripping the |
line, skirting the ends and surpass- |
ing them man for man. may be her
aided to the world as a real football |
machine.
That's what the agile youths
coached by Bob FolweIl did, as
10000 spectators rubbed their eyes
and wondered. IL it could be true.
Don Lourie, all-American quar-
terback. sat on the bench and gazed
wistfully at the rout of his gallant
mates. He wore citizen clothes and
walked with the aid of a cane.
Hank Clarity, another of Prince
tons backield stars and a peerless
defensive man, was also unable to
wear a uniform.
With these two shining lights in
the game, Roper's men might have
made IL a more equal battle, but
II is incredible that even they could
have turned the relentless tide that
!. swept the team of its feet. Not only
did the Middies excel in backfield
work. but their towering forwards,
fast. active and trained to the
minute, outrushed and outplayed
their opponent from start to finish
Touchdown on Blocked Kick.
One touchdown. the result of a
, blocked kick behind the goal line,
and two goals from placement by
Clyde King. big navy tackle, gave
the Middies the points that wiped
, out the memory of the 14-to-O de-
feat last season.
The touchdown came with the
opening of the second period. Just
. before the first period ended Cleaves
fumbled a pass from Center Witt
mer and Taylor. the Navy right end,
who should have been blocked by
Stinson, hurled himself on the ball
2 on Princeton's 10-yard line. Barchet
swept on tackle for Ave yards as
the period ended.
With the start of the second
quarter. the score came with
lAAu6 SuuucuucSS- with navy
on the five-yard and second down
with goal to gain. Princeton twice
repealed attacks in the line and took
-fhe ball on downs on the 4
yard line. Van Gerbig dropped back
of the goal line to punt. The ball
was snapped but the towering form
of Bolles. the Navy right tackle,
. was seen bearing down on Van Ger
big as he prepared to kick. The
ball was blocked bounding back
almost to the stands, where Carney
a guard, covered 1t with a headlong
dive. King kicked the goal.
t Mr. King Gets Busy.
Inspired by. seven-point lead,
the Middies dominated for the re-
mainder Of the game. During the
second half they opened a driving
attack that kept the ball almost
constantly in Princeton territory.
Four times King. Herculean cap
tain of the crew and tackle par ex-
cellence. attempted goals from
- place in the final period. Twice he
failed and as many times he sue
ceeded. once from the 40-yard line
and again from the 20-yard line, the
last one coming as the closing
whistle sent the Navy roofing Sec
ton into commissions of joy.
-NdNg anu
like attack was good for ten first
downs, five of which came in the
fourth period when the Tigers were
perceptibly weakening under the
hard drubbing. On the other hand.
the New Jersey eleven failed to
register one first down, so perfect
was the Navy defense.
Three men stood out prominently in
the Navy offense. Steve Barchet.
whose general offensive work and run
ming back of punts was brilliant; Vic
Noyes. star of last years clash with
the Army, who entered the game in
the second period. and Clyde King,
who Mad a batting average OF 500.
Ira Mckee. of last years team. was
another shifty runner whom the Tigers
found hard to stop.
Eyes Of the Westinghouse were
focused on the lithesome form of Dick
Newly. Central High product, who
started at right halfback in the Prince
ton lineup. Fate decreed, however.
that Newly was not to see much
action. In the first stages of the game
he was charged with roughing Navy
player and was elected from the game.

Newly Is Disqualified.
Kings kickoff to McPhse. the I'll
ger field general. who lacked the
necessary experience for a game of
such Importance. gave the classic
its start. McPhee returning the ball
to his 25-yard line. Van Gerbig
hit the line for four yards and
Newly duplicated that distance off
tackle. Van Gerbig punted fifty
yards to Barchet. who was downed
on the 20-yard line after a five
yard return. 1t was on this kick
that Newly was disqualified and
Princeton penalized to her own 40
yard line.
After testing out the line, Bar
Chef shot a forward pass to Hamil-
ton for a first down. Plunges by

Tigers took the ball on downs on
their own 20-yard line.
Nays offense woke up after an
exchange Of punts, when Barchet

40-yard line, lodging many tacklers.
