With the shift solved and siammed.
Georgia had nothing really to offer
except the individual efforts of Capt.
Barron. and while he did heroic work
his personal efforts did not prevail
against the unified deadliness Of the
Academy combination.
10000 watch Battle.
More than 2o.o00 spectators looked
down from the massive stands that
rose tier above tier around the four
sides of the playing field. the crowd
being probably the largest the Mary
land capital has ever known. with
Washington furnishing probably
one-third of the assemblage.
1t is doubtful II there was ever
before such an extensive exodus Of
washingtonians to Annapolis. The
social and athletic Capital seemed to
move en- masse to the Middies' play
around, for II would have been al
most possible to have walked on the
tops of motors from washingtn to
the field for the first two hours i'm
mediately following noon. Later in
the day. after the issue had been set
tied. all reads out Of here were
jammed with happy crowds return
| ing from a pleasant outing.
In one respe I the throng was un-
usual, for IL arrived far earlier than
is q crowds wont and leisurely
! strolled to the stretch on the banks
Of the Severn. leaving occasional
| glass containers that would indicate
the Volstead act in Annapolis today
was more of a theory than q prac-
| tice. The Midshipmen's brigade had
their first real chance of the seasc n
to show cheering force and their
section was one of the attractions
of the day, supporting their team
during the game. singing songs OF
defiance to the West Pointers during
the intermission and laundering out
a congratulatory farewell to their
! guests as a finale.
|. Navy Passes Thrill.
| 1t is questionable II there was one
in a thousand of the spectators who
did not come here expecting that
Georgia's forward passes would be
an outstanding feature and they saw
one of the most impressive exhibi-
! tions Of forward passes since the
play was legalized-but they were
not by Georgia.
Tech did try heavies but II they

/ would probably adept different
methods. for their attempts appeared
foolish in the fact OF the alert Naval
defense. Usually when the South
erners essayed to play the leather
would fall in a group Of rivals and
would be grounded. Upon fve diff
ferent occasions a Georgian did ac-
| tually catch the ball only to be
thrown so rudely and speedily that
he fumbied. Tech mayor may not
have ever faced such vicious tack
! lers as the Midshipmen.
| While Georgia tried her long prac-
ticed passes. Navy literally played
horse with the Tech defense and IN
return shot successful forwards until
| the firing visiting eleven appeared
/ to be actually dizzy from watching
| their rivals do what they themselves
were unable While Navy was nat
urally. most anxious to win no su-
/ preme effort was made to point the
| the team for Georgia. But in watch
| ing the exhibition one could not
smother the suspicion that whatever
special preparation for today the
Midshipmen received It was in per-
fecting a forward passing game to
prove to the Southland that teams
| in these parts are just as modern as
any in the length and breadth of the
country.
Navy All the Way.
When a team executes about four
| forward passes successfully in a
| game IL is rated as having done
| a good days work in that particu-
| lar department. But when a team
uses the forward pass in more than
half of its plays and succeeds in
| four out of Ave tries, it is for
| ward passing team. That's just
what Navy did today and it showed
| it played no favorites. for after
it had gained by a few short shots.
| it would let go with one that COW
/ cred from twenty to thirty wards
with the efficient receiver on the
spot.
Briefly. the story of the game
was Navy all the way, with two
short lapses when Tech seemed to
threaten. but IL the total had been
twice as large there would have
been few to complain that it die
