resistIble line plunging of the Navy, the
Pensacola Regulars We're bowled over
for a 2S 70 o defeat at the hands of the
Sailors yesterday afternoon. The Navy
scored in the first quarter and were
held scoreless until the last period when
they broke through for three touch
downs.
In the last period the entire Navy
team with the exception of the fullback
vas changed subs going in for the reg
uiRrs. Even these could not be stopped
and scored two touchdoWns before the
close OF the game.
The game developed almost entirely
into line plunging The Navy gained
through the line almost at will and tried
this method exclusively. The locals
tried two or three passes. an occasional
punt and several end runs. The latter
were instrumental in most Of the locals
gains.

and furnished the thrill Of the game in

touchdown. He missed on the first two
tries for the extra point after touch

ploying drop kicks on the last two tries
he booted the ball straight and true be-
