day defeated the heavy and rugged
Wabash College eleven on the Plains
here by score Of p to 0. With "Doc'
Bull, Yale coach, and Into star Blue
tackle, sitting in the stand getting a
line on the team the Ellis Will face next
Saturday. the Cadets used conser-
vative offense and relied only on
straight rushes through the line to
make their score They did try one
pass in the latter part of the third
period. a long toss to the side which
went through and resulted in touch
down
Wabash, coached by Vaughn. former
Princeton and Notre Dame star end,
presented a we'll drilled outfit, crew
that was husky and quite speedy For
the first half the Westerners played
the army to a standstll Their defense
was excellent and they made several
threatening sallies toward the Army
goal line. In the half the visitors were
visibly confident and aggressive and
managed to hold the cadets to a score
less tie Beginning with the third
period though, the Army attack, which
had been rather sluggish and ragged.

three touchdowns. Once they got the
Westerners on the run the Cadets had :
little difficulty in penetrating their de-
Tense. For in lighting to hold the on
slaught of the locals in check. the
bright vermilion jerseyed warriors
seemed to lose confidence and poise
and crumbled under the drive of Coach
Charlie Dalys cohorts.
MuIligan Among Attackers
Leading in the attack of the West
Pointers were Mullgan, the burly
tackle, who two years ago was starring
on the Columbia freshman eleven;
Garbisch, captain and guard of last
years Washington and Jefferson;
Young Smyth. fast, hard running
back. and Wood former Johns Hopkins
halfback This quartet paved the way
TO most Of the scores and it was due
mostly TO their energy and their driv-
inc tactics that the cadets came to
lie an tailed.
Wood and Smyth did most of the
ground gaining for the visitors, while
on defense they also showed to advan-
taQe. Garbsch, playing rowing center
game on defense, was busy and use
ful person, and Mullgan was quite the
whole show on his side of the line. He
streaked through the Westerners' de-
fense frequently and blocked several
kicks, one Of which Garbisch recovered
on the 15-yard line and which resulted
in an immediate touchdown.
Storck also did good work on de-
fonse. tackling with neatness and
dispatch and keeping the play within
bounds practically throughout. Sin
glcton and Knee were the mainstays OF
the red jerseyed crew. Singleton.
fine kicker. kept his team in the hum.
in the first half with his excellent
puntinc. However. his inclination to-
take time in getting his kicks away and
4 the weakness OF the defense furnished
him during the plav nullified his good
kicking IN the latter stages Of the con-.
test
Knee showed himself a hard-running
back and good Nasser. Singleton wa.'
also extremely adept in receiving thesi
swift passes over the line and pulled
down several for material gains
The Army kicked off, and after sew
eral short rushes Singleton punted a
fine. long kick that rolled over tho
! goal line. Wabash tried three rushes,
and then Singleton attempted to punt

/ the kick. but Davidson, instead Of fall
ing on the leather, tried TO pick it I'D
whle on the run. The ball bounded
out of his hands and a Wabash player
recovered on the 25yard line
Punting Duel in Second Half
That was the best and practically
the only opportunity the Army had to
score in this period, which ended moth
ing to nothing. The second half was
mostly punting duel between Single
ton and Wood, and after Wood had
been withdrawn Smythe did the kick

blocked another punt, and as il bound
cd along the field Storck, trotting along
with the ball. had an excellent chance
to pick up the sphere and head for the
goal, but apparently did not know that
the kick had been blocked.
All the fireworks took place in the
third period. The Army kicked Off,
and Immediately Wabash was penalized
for cutting down. That gave the Army
the ball on the 5-yard line. Smythe
smashed through tackle for five yards,
and Wood made it first down on the
next rush. Smythe then bluffed a for
ward pass to the right side. which
worked effectively. Smythe then quick
y tucked the BAH under his arm and
broke through to d clear fed and a
run that landed MIN on the 3-yard line.
On the second rush Smythe went over
for the first touchdown Breidster
kicked the goal.
The Army again kicked of, and,
after trying two rushes. Goldsberry at
tempted fctward pass which Garbisch
neatly intercepted on the 30-yard line
and scampered down the field for a
touchdown. Breidster again kicked
goal.
Once more the Army kicked off. Null
ligan doing the kicking. After one
rush Wabash attempted to pant, Multi
gan broke through. leaped high in the
air and smashed down the kick. Har-
bisch fell On tAe ball and Army lined
up on the i5-y&rd mark. On the fret
nley the cadets were penaized fer Off

rushed fer over to the side OF the field
and tuning. tooN long pass from

distance - the goal line before he was
