Evening capital and Maryland gazette. (Annapolis, Md.) 1910-1922, 1921-10-17


He was the main cog on the defense
The game was fercely contested
throughout and although the Jersey
ties Lut up a plucky fight, they were
outplayed. and beaten by superior
team. The Middies unleashed fast
and smooth attack, with few fancy
plays sanwiched in between, that at
times literally swept the Tigers OF
their feet.
Princeton Defense Braces
The Princetonians showed some
excellent defensive work in flashes.
Particularly was this the cast just be-
fore the close OF the first period, when
the Middies, after getting the ball on
tumble IS yards away from Prince
tons goal line. advanced 10 the 5-yard
mark. as time for the period ended.
Upon the resumption of play, the
Tigers made a gallant rally and re-
covered the pigskin on downs. This
valiant effort, however only resulted
in the beginning OF their downfall a
moment later Van Derbig dropped
behind the goal posts TO punt for
Princeton He was slow in applying
his boot, and Carney. Nays 200
pound guard. dashed through, blocked
the kick, and fell on the ball for a
touchdown. King kicked an easy goal.
With points thus chalked against
them there was keen dismay among
the Tigers. although they realized that
the game was yet young, and resumed
the fighting as doggedly as before.
From then ON. however the superior
ity OF the Navy machine was appar-

visitors for the rest of the period,
but did not seriously threaten score.

the fourth period as desperately as
before. with Princeton putting forth
its best to stem the assault. and they
did stop the Middies four times after
the ball had been advanced inside of

NOyes And Barchet Star
The might of the Navy line was nc
surprise. having served as copy
since early last season. but the speed
and power of the backfield was some
thing of an eye opener. Folwell has
set of backs this year that will rank
with the best in the country. Vic
Noyes and Steve Barchet displayed
dazzling speed in their dashes off the
tackles and frequent Journeys around

also difficult TO stop and hold. while
Cruise. Conroy and Hamilton are men
of unusual ability
A strong line usually makes any
backfield look good, but this does not
detract from the great broken field
running OF Noyes and Barchet. Here
are two gentlemen to be watched
when all-American jobs are handed
out
Punting Only Weakness
Only in one department did Prince
ton have an edge Van Gerbig's punts
were long and well placed, while
those of barchet were ordinary. Given
a good punter and the middies would
appear to be almost perfect.
Navy now looms as one of the
strongest candidates for titulaI
honors The team has nothing tC
worry about in its remaining games
until it meets Penn State in Phila-
delphia on November L. That will
be a classic struggle should Bezdek's
team manage TO defeat Harvard
Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh in the
interim. That's a big IF" After the
Penn State game Navy has plenty OF
time to prepare FOR the annual clash
with Army at the Polo Grounds.
