Stadium, they held 39-to-O count
lad not taxed themselves greatly 10
.me for the Marines, but as foot
!: the affair was not so much It
lg to other than strictly Ouantico
was all Marines. They scored in
the Infantry off its feet all the way.
Ugh to touchdown when the game
Mains did 70-yard dash to block.
i quarter, the Infantry was helpless
The Marines simply ran roughshod
over their opponents, registering %
first downs, getting all but of them
by rushing, while the Infantry could
negotiate only 4. All of Army's first
downs were recorded in the last pc
riod, the first being the result of a.
penalty against the Marines, while
forward passes accounted for the
three others.
Marines Score Often.
Marine scoring was fast and furi-
GUS After Neal got his touchdown
in the first period, the Marines again
worked the ball close to the Infantry
goal before the quarter ended, but
Ryckman failed to boot a goal from
placement at the outset of the second
period Goettge, though, later man
aged to rush the ball across the final
line and near half time aerial attack
brought a third Marine touchdown.
Two more touchdowns were tailed
in the third quarter. Forward pass
ing figured prominently in one of the
Marine advances in this period, while
a 60-yard run-ba of one of Nc
Quarrie's fine punts by Brunelle fea-
tured the other. Wit ~ a healthy
lead, practically su ute Marine
team toiled in the four-n quarter, and
it had to wait until near the end OF
activities before it put across the last
Quantico touchdown
The Infantry was within striking
distance of the Marine goal but once.
That was in the second period. when
Bailey, Marine center, made wild
pass and an Infantryman recovered
the ball on the Marines 15-yard line.
Three line plays failed and long
forward pass grounded behind the
goal All told, the Infantry got but
II yards with its running attack.
With its aerial attack in the fourth
quarter it gained 81 yards, it's four
successful passes ranging in length
from yards to % yards.
Quantico Passes Good.
The versatile Marines demonstrated
they could gain by the overhead route
as well as by line plunges and off,
tackle sweeps. They tried only a few
passes, but four were completed for
gains of from 13 TO "a yards. In only
one department of the game were the
Marines bettered. That was at kick
ing. Groves. Goettge and McQuade
punted fairly well for the Devildogs,
but they were not as good as Nc
Quarrie. His kick-offs and punts
were of high order.
The Marines so outclassed the In
fantry that practically every back
used by the Quantico aggregation did
welL Goettge. Henry and Brunelle
especially distinguished themselves,
and so did Ryckman before knee in
jury forced his retirement early in
the second period. The entire Marine
line played remarkably well and COM
pletely smothered the Infantry for
wards. AS a result Smythe. McQuar-
rie and the other Infantry backs had
no chance to shine
The Marines marched to their first
touchdown from back of midfield.
Grove caught one of McQuarries
punts and was downed almost in his
tracks on the Marines 47-yard line
Ryckman reeled Off a. 26-yard run.
and a few plays later Neal went 5
yards to a score. Ryckman kicked
the goal N
Stage Two SO-Yard Parndes.
Ryckman's placement kick for a
field goal from the 20-yard line at
the start of the second quarter was
blocked by Gee, but a little later the
Marines went from their 2o-yard line
to a touchdown in Is plays, Goettge
taking the ball over. Henry's kick
for the extra point was short. Just
before the period ended the Marines
again travelled from their 2o-yard line
to a touchdown, pass, Goettge to
Sanderson. netting the last Is yards.
Henry made good with his kick this
time
Early in the third period Henry
grabbed one of McQuarries punts and
ran it back Is yards to the Infantry's
| l2s-yard line. An 1S-yard pass,
Goettge to Henry. and some line
plugging brought the fourth touch
down, Henry taking the ball over.
Goettge kicked the goal after touch
down. Near the close of the quarter
Bruneile caught an Army punt on his
42yard line and weaved through the
Infantry to its S-yard line before he
| was downed. Two plays thereafter
Brunelle plunged to the fifth touch
down, but Goettge failed to nego-
tiate the extra point
Late in the fourth quarter a penalty
pushed the attacking Marines back
to their 30-yard line, but McMains
| broke through the weak Infantry
wall and sprinted to goal Farrell
tried to get another point, but his
kick was blocked.
