Garbisch Receivers Ball.
Garbisch himself paved the way for
his first goal when he recovered a
blocked kick in Navy territory, after
which Gilmore led 20-yard charge

occasions. the Navys heavy line. which
far outweighed its rivals, held for
downs or forced an attempt at field

portunity for a Cadet touchdown was
lost when Hewitt fumbled after reaching
the 7-yard mark and Quarterback Ham

Brings Out Great Throng.
Like a great human magnet, the
spirit of foot ball reached out today
and brought into it's fold for the
Army Navy game one of the greatest
