NAVY STOPS PENN
 STATES RUN OF VICTORIES, "A TO O
Nittany Lions Given Their First Beating in Three
 Years
 By HENRY VANCE

Washington, NoVember S-(Spe- cial )-Some s0.000 souls and dozen or so Kniekerbocked cops, who looked like they might be starting out for an afternoon of "Gawf," saw the Annapolis middies knock Hugo Bezdek Nittany Lions into a mess of minced ham Friday afternoon, the final score being Navy. Penn, 0.
 Rather than elect to play the sub marine act the Navy brought her hydroplanes into play. and bombed the, enemy from above for the first touchdown. It was a forward pass, Mckee to Taylor. Just bit over the hands of Penn Staters and across the goal, and Conroy kicked goal. The Naval student body in the southern ends of the stands had fit. Fools rushed in where angels would have feard to tread on the play that netted the Navy her first score. It was fourth down on that final try for forward pass, and it worked.
 Tumble Let In One
 The other touchdown came as result of a tumble in the shadow or Pennsylvania's goal.
 The lions had bralnstorm at this juncture, and ther thinking appar- atus wasn't hitting on all six.
 With their own goal line right on their heels, they attempted three un- successful forward passes. The fourth down was an attempt at an end run, and the fatal tumble spilled the beans, and Conroy again kicked goal.
 The Middies looked like an eastern team; the Penn Staters like Dixie gregation-Dixie bone and Dixie coached It's line held against enemy onslaughts, and the navy could do little over the line, or around end, but aerially. they bewildered the Penn Staters, when becoming bewildered proved fatal.
 My own original opinion is that three or four southern teams l know could have beaten either the Middies or Lions the way they played Frl- day. And I have seen better bunting on high school teams than Penn State put on display, and the Crimson Tide in it's most superb form couldn't have outfumbled the Lions and Middies Friday.
 Pre-Game Thrills
 While little of the sensational was seen in a football way, the pre-game thrills were plentiful. After Penn States wonderful band had paraded the field, headed by student in lion skin garb, the uniformed Mid dies, with their long coats and white gloves, started marching upon the field A line, three deep. kept cross ing the gridiron and piling into the seats. It was the greatest piece of drill work I have ever seen. and they kept coming, and coming in end- less formations. All through the bat tie the Middies kept up an uproar Of songs and cheers.
 Between halves, the man in the lion skin got on all-fours, and staged battle with the poor bewildered Navy goat. The goat didn't know what to make of being attacked by a lion, but he showed fight as the movie cam eras clicked.
 The entire Alabama team wit messed the game. being guests of the Navy. Bob Folwell. head coach for the Middies, contributed the ducats.
 The Washington American league ball park is not as good a place to see a game as Redwood field.
 Grandstand seats are mile away from the scene.
