but so stubborn and courage
Gus was the resistance that had the
scoring been limited TO the first touch
down and goal il might better have
shown the relative strength OF the
Carl Cullen Stars
Carl Cullen. who is labeled "Shags"
by his messmates. was the star OF the
game. Playing at halfback. Midship-
man Cullen was the axis around
which seemed TO revolve the whole Of
Tense OF the winners. but his duty was
not ended in carrying the ball for IL
was al the receiving end OF forward
pass that he placed the ball down for
the first touchdown. His second
chance to enshrine himself in the
hearts of his fellow candidates for
commissions was on the defense, for
when State fumbled near its own goal
line il was the Washington boy who
was on the spot and scooped up the
ball for the race over the last chalk
ribbon for the second touchdown. N
punting IL was upon Cullen that Navy
placed dependence, and he was truly
worthy of the trust. for his exhibition
of kicking was one OF the outstanding
features. Whether the orders We're
for distance or direction Cullen was
equally reliable and he sent the ball
time after time floating over the
heads of the downfield back only to
vary ii at times bu shortening the
carry and sending the inflated oblate
spheroid bounding OFF TO itself with
the Staters galloping in pursuit.
The midshipmen presented a pic
ture that will not be easily forgotten
Half an hour before game time the
high gate at the southeastern angle
the park slid back, and with their
band blaring forth martial airs ant
the Navy flag aloft and unfurled. the
trusted the guardianship OF the sever
seas in the next conflict, majesticall,
swept on to the field with faultless
tread
MiddleS Thrill ThrOng
The first glimpse of the midship-
men, with their proud. panoplied Navy
goat, brought the crowd to its feet
and while they passed in columns OF
squads and battalion front they re-
ceived a greeting subordinate only tc
the salutation they themselves gave
when the Navy squad emerged a few
minutes later. Having Unanswered tc
the front of their stand, the future Of
ficers suddenly broke and dashed tc
the uncovered section reserved fol-
them.
Middies Sang And Cheered
Nothing their favorites did escaped
their cheers. and between halves they
sang about Turning the Army mule
TO meek lamb" to the enjoyment OF
the spectators. The whistle marking
the ending OF hostilities was the cal
for the midshipmen to sweep into the
field, and they took possession of the
whole stretch parading beneath the
goal post with each individual tossing
his cap over the cross-bar as a signal
IOf victory.
While eclipsed ty their rivals. the
State men had strong section that
never wavered in its support to its
team. and while the crowd was al
ready leaving the field the Pennsyl-
vanians stood uncovered and chantec
their hymn OF loyalty to the college
that had just been beaten for the firsi
time in three years.
Navy Goat Uninterested
BILL" the goat mascot of the Navy
squad. was decidedly uninterested in
the afternoons proceedings, spending
most of his time nibbling grass in
front of the midshipmen's cheering
section.
Between halves. the Penn State
student who was clad in the garb of
'Nittany Lion crawled by the side of
the goat for the purpose of posing for
a photograph. Bill" objected. and
attempted to run away from the
''ferocious" creature. He had to be
held in position long enough for the
photographers to SNAP him.
Spertsmanship Prevails
Not once was there the slightest
semblance of unsportsmanship afield
or in the stands. The players fought
bitterly. but they fought Clearly. and
never did either of the cunport;rr
groups cheer while the opposition had
the ball for fear of the unfair advant-
age of drowning the signals.
The day developed football of the
highest standard. an unprecedented
assemblage, and the brilliant affair
was most excellently managed by
Clark Griffith and his henchmen of the
Washington ball club. The whole un
dertaking indicated Washington is
