No Conference of Attack.
Neither side showed any conference
of attack, and yet there were plenty
of scoring opportunities in the first
half Garbisch seemed to be drop
kicking pretty much all through these
two periods. In all he had five shots.
The first was blocked. The next two
he missed. On the fourth try he
cashed In with a good one, and just
before the whistle at half time he
made one more attempt, which failed
by A narrow margin.
Although the Army could not gain
the men from West Peint
picked up a lot of valuable ground by
blocking Navy punts and intcrcepting
Navy forward passes. The first break
of this kind came at the very begin
ming of the game. Navy elected to
try toss on the first play after the
kick-o HAMILTON, the Annapolis
quarterback, Tipped the ball and Gill
more of the Army sidled into the pic
ture and grabbed the pass on Navy's
21-yard line. But the cadets could
not gain. and Garbisch tried for
field goal which was blocked. -
Army, however. was fortunate and
spry enough to recover. Again
marching privileges were denied. and
again the Army captain kicked for
goal and failed. This, however. was a
long shot from the 43-yard mark. A
minute or two later he missed from
the 35-yard mark. Up to this point
the game had been pretty much all
Army, but suddenly shift came in
the situation. Chiliingworth of the
Navy made a quick punt from a close
formation and the Army was taken
by surprise. The ball sailed over the
head of Harding, Army's quarter
back and did not quit rolling until it
reached the 5-yard line Of the West
Pointers.
Threat by Navy Fizxles.
Punting from behind his own goal,
Wood kicked poorly, driving out of
bounds on his own 26-yard line. Two
slices and a plunge made it first down
for Navy on Army's 91a yard line. But
that was the end of the threat. Two
dabs at the line were smeared and
two forward passes failed.
Garbisch's first successful drop
kick came after one of Navy's punts
was blocked. Farwick did the block
ing and Garbisch attended to the re-
covery The Army attack earned
nothing much, and so Garbisch drop
ped back to the 27 and lifted the ball
over. An intercepted forward pass
in the third quarter gave another OPP
portunity. Loeser threw the ball and
Baxter of Army batted the pass in the
air and then caught it. He ran 20
yards before being downed and it was
Army's ball on the Navy 1S-yard line.
A tumble by Tiny Hewitt halted the
advance, but after Navy punted, Gar
bisch dropped a kick over from the
42-yard line. He followed with his
2o-yard shot after another intercept
ed pass
In all, the Army took over seven
tosses instigated by the Navy. Four
drop-kicks is within one of the inter-
collegiate record, held by Brickley of
Harvard and EckersaIl of Chicago.
SO, you can see Garbisch chose an eS-
cellent performancc to mark his fc.;'
well.
