merely bided fits time and had begun to
strike when the time was propitious.
In the thick of the rally was j. X.
Miller, the Pennsylvania captain. He
suddenly became the most elusive back
on the field as he twisted and squirmed
and kept his feet for substantial gains.
Conroy's Kickoff in the second half was
caught by Miller on his 15 yard line and
he ran it back to the 80 yard line.
On the second rush Miller broke
through a gap between tackle and guard
On the right side of the Navy line and
went twelve yards for a first down.
Then Hamer and McGraw tore off short
gains for another first down.
On the next play Miller was off again
and almost broke away as he lodged
tackler after tackler. but. after covering
a zigzag fifteen yards he was dropped
by Conroy. The thrusts at the Navy
line continued and slowly but surely the
astonished Navy team was forced back
to It's 25 yard line. Pennsylvania's first
successful forward pass of the day fol-
lowed. McGraw hurled the oval to
Miller who gathered 1t in his arms after
reaching full length and then went tear
ing down the sideline the remaining dis
tance to Nays goal line and to victory.

Forward Pass Won for Army.
The most conspicuous game In the
United States this fall to be won di-
rectly from forward pass was the
Army-Navy game at Philadelphia.
This battle from various standpoints
also was one of the best football battles
waged throughout the season. Navy
was the first to score. a brilliant for
ward pass. Mckee to Barchet. carried
the ball from Army's 32 to their 10
yard line. On the next play Mckee
went between end and tackle ten yards
to touchdown. Soon afterward
Smythe of the Army caught Cullens
punt and ran to Navy's 30 yard line.
Three plunges failing. Garbisch fell
back to the 40 yard line and brilliantly
scored a field goal from placement
Thus the half ended, with Navy lead

the ball to Smythe. who in turn threw
a forward pass to Dodd. and the latter
in a binding flash of speed was over
the line for touchdown and for
victory.
Columbia and Williams were engaged
In n stirring struggle at New York
Williams had scored six in the third
quarter and Columbia seven in the
fourth quarter. Columbia obtained
three points more and the game drew
TO the last minute, with the scoreboard
glaring down upon the courageous WILL
iams team: Columbia, 10: williams, Z.
In the last few seconds OF play Mallon,
the dauntless quarterback OF Williams,
threw forward pass to Healey. and
the latter crossed the line for n touch
down, which won the game without the
additional point also which followed.

Cleavcs's Flight OF Glory.
Few games. however. In 1922 we're won
by these spectacular plays. When
Princeton lined up against Colgate at
Princeton early in October a battle and
not a contest was expected. But Col
gate was far stronger than estimated.
Her backs swept through Princetons
line for one hrst down after another.
Gathering determination as latent
strength appeared and apparently sur
passing Princeton, Colgate sought a
touchdown by a forward pass as the
first half was closing. Sanford. Col
gates quarterback. threw a forward
pass over Princeton's line intended for
