10 StaHN any way. Inc west folnl du-
thorities, anticipating an exceptionally
large attendance, had erected extra
stands to accommodate something like
5000 persons. There were at least
$4,000 inside the enclosure with an
other 5000 standing outside of the
stands. The pressure of the mob was
so strong that it pushed right out al
most 30 the edge of the playing field.
There is virtually no decision to
render on the play of the teams to-day.
Notre Dame got nearer to Army goal
line and missed an opportunity to score
in the Anal quarter through tumble
on the local 4-yard line.
Early in the game--in the first quar-
ter to be exact-Army advanced to
Notre Danes 12-yard line where the
forwards of the visitors held fast. The
locals lost the ball here on a forward
pass that was grounded over the goal
line.
Fail at Field Goals
In the second period the Cadets
marched to the visitors 17-yard line,
then attempted to pass which Don Mil
ler intercepted on his own 1o-yard line.
These were the best, in fact the only
Both teams made attempts at kicking
goals from field but none Of these was
even close.
The first half, to be sure, was not as
swift as Notre Dame-Army struggles
usually are. The Western attack could
not get under way as rapidly as usual.
In this first half the Army had two
above named instances for scores which
did not materialize. And those were
about the only opportunities the Cadets
did have because they were kept going
at top speed in the latter stages Of
the melee holding Rockne's charges
from crossing their line.
The Notre Dame coach must have
given his men some kind Of ginger or
pepper between the halves because that
South Bend outfit certainly played bet
ter late in the game. The Army de-
serves unstinted praise for stopping
the visitors.
A resume of the first two periods
showed that Army gained about sixty
yards to Notre Danes fifty three, and
three first downs to the visitors two.
In the first period Army, cutting loose
with wide forward passes intermingled
with jabs at the line, carried the ball
to Notre Danes 12-yard line, where
PASS from Wood to Smythe grounded
back of the goal line, giving the ball
sn Notre Dame on it's 20-yard line.
In this same period Notre Dame ad-
vanced the ball to Army's 32-yard line.
Cestner tried a drop kick, but the
k--ny forwards rushed him so fast he
sesrcely had chance, and Army recov-
cred on its own 19-yard line. In the
second period there were several fun

was made. Wood punted high, long.

here was intercepted by Castner, saw

back attempting to catch the ball fell
with such force his legs threw up and
tripped Castner, who had clear field
ahead.
Third q Punting Duel
The third period was mostly punt
ing duel, with Wood having slight
edge, but it is worthy of note that in
this period Castner got off one kick
chat carried from his own 40-yard line
over his opponents goal line, an actual
carry of sixty yards.
The Army took the ball out to the
2o-yard line and Immediately kicked
Stuhdrier caught the ball on his own
%S-yard line, and promptly sent Cast

poured in en- masse and were able to
partially block Cashiers punt, Smythe
recovering on his own A5-yard line. A
pass from Wood to Smythe netted
twenty two yards, but on the next play
came tumble, and Notre Dame re-
covered on its one 33-yard line. just
