Navy Loses Touchdown.
The Middies deserved a third
touchdown. The opportunity came
early in the fourth period. Mckee,
fleet-footed MILDLY, had intercepted
a forward pass and galloped down
the left side of the field for thirty
five yards before Reds Baroon,
springing up from nowhere in par
ticuiar. hurled him to the parched
grass on Techs 25-yard line.
Quickly the Navy attack got busy
off the tackles and, with short
forward pass to Mckee, the ball
| was nine yards closer to the South
erners goal. Then came a double
pass from Conroy to Mckee. The

Aside from the great individual

ter's punts were high and long,
with Brewsters almost as good.
Both Tech kickers got the ball
away much faster than either Con.

punting. Once the Navy kicker
took so much time that his attempt
was blocked. q
II was a great day for football.
The sun was bright and warming to
those grouped around the field. There
was a nip in the air that made hin
pockets valuable. Many hip pockets
were working, too, it might be added.
There was no breeze to favor either
team.
Navy Kicks OFF First.
Navy won the toss and kicked off
to Tech, which defended the south
goal. Three attempts to fool the
Middies with the forwards shifting
and McWhorter lifted a high punt to
Navy's 35-yard line. Barchet and
Conroy made 1t first down on two
! charges against the tackles. Finding
the going rough, Cullen punted out
side on Techs 15.yard line.
Tech once more failed to gain con-
secutively and this time there came
a wretched punt, the ball going out

which the Middies put 1t In play.
Again came short plunges off
tackle by Barchet and Conroy and
short forward pass failed. So Gull

who scooted around left end for
twenty yards to Techs 7.yard line.
In three plays Barchet Jumped across

Tech Works n Pass.
On the very first play after lining
up on the 20.yard line Tech worked
beautiful forward pass, Barron to
McWhorter. for q gain Of twenty
yards. The Tech cheering section
went mad and called for touchdown.
Barron raced around right end for
twelve yards and another first down.
The Tech backfield seemed moving
fast behind the hiking forwards and
four plays brought another first
down and the ball to Nayy's 20-yard
line.
Coming close to the goal posts, the
Navy line became OF granite and.
after two small gains, Stolz broke
