his way right and left. He had con
siderable assistance from Harry VII
son, another veteran of a hard,
Pennsylvania institution of learning
this time Penn State-who was ais
playing his last game. The Arm.
made fourteen first downs in tn
course of the afternoon and Hewitt
and Wilson compiled most of them
The most startling feature of tn
proceedings was the fact that tn
weather was fairly dry. As a rul
an Army and Navy game at the Poll
Grounds is presented with an effec
like the staging of the drama, Rain.
COLD AND CLEAR.
The field looked a little marsh!
in spots, the overhead sky was clear
and the sun shone at intervals. i
was plenty cold, however. Fans hud
died I'D in furs, blankets and steamed
rugs and with goloshes on their feet
The Army Cadets came marchin.
into the yard first. wave on gray wave
of stalwart red-cheeked youth. theil
long gray overcoats Tapping at theil
heels as they tramped behind tbeii
band. They paraded the field. then
at a command, broke ranks and
poured into the right field stand where
they presently formed a blueish-gray
block of agitated humanity.
Then came the naval cadets in
their dark blue uniforms, and they
too, paraded the field and finally
poured into the left stand, in such
position that they faced the gray
block of the Army across the field.
They had their famous goat with
them, a sad looking creature with
twisted horns, wearing a blanket of
gold and blue, and, of course, the
Army had its mule, and this mule
seemed somewhat less courageous
than the average army mule.
IT was introduced to the Navy goat
in mid-field for the benefit of the
platoon of cameramen present, and
Mr.. Goat made a dash at Mr.. Mule
which seemed TO disconcert the
pride of the Army.
The crowd was all seated. which
was not until well after the game
was under way.
Mr.. Mule tried to bolt and was
restrained with great difficulty by
a couple Of young West Pointers.
- fsti PLENTY OF NOISE
The ward was a vocal crater just
before the game started, erupting the
roar of the lusty-lunged cheering sec
tons. Around the side lines were
nearly all the famous coaches Of the
country. whose seasons work is CON-
pleted and who came TO gaze upon
the football efforts Of Mr.. Jack NJ
Evan and Mr.. Jack Owsley Of the
Army and Navy.
The Navy cheer leacers were agile
young men in dark blue Jerseys
touched with gold and they had
huge megaphones through which they
signed for the strange vocal mean
tations Of their followers. There was
one young man who turned sorner-
saults in the air at intervals. which
greatly amused the deeper thinkers
present.
Not much happened in the first
period, both teams doing a lot If
punting. like a pair Of boxers feel
ing each other out. Wilson. the Army
back, made one run Of 81 yards that
brought joy 10 the gray patch in The
right field stand. He skinned tn
Nays left, but was finally chased
out Of bounds.
FIELD GOAL MISSED
Later, the Army rushed the ball 10
the Nays 11-yard line, and then
Reeder, who does nothing else but
kick, field goals, was brought into &C
ton His kick was blocked.
Early in the second period, Shaplcy
Of the Navy, tossed a 3J-yard forward
pass to Hardwick, putting the bali
on the Army's 1l-yard line. \ plunge
by Flippen, and another plunge by
Coldwell put the bail on the Army
four-yard line.
With four yards to 90 TO touchdown
and three 10 first down, Hamilton
stepped back and booted the ball be-
tween the Army posts. He kicked
from about the 1S-yard line, and at
a difficult angle, but his boot was
straight and true, and as the ball suuu
between the posts, twisting in the air,
the left field stand gave forth q VIC
lent roar. Even the Navy goat seemed
mildly interested as three points were
cnalked up On the score board for
the Navy.
This seemed TO exasperate Harry
Wilson, Of the Army, who used TO
play for Penn State. He took per-
sonal charge Of the old cowskin on
his own 25-yard line. and walked with
il 10 the Nays 4J-yard line on
straight running plays. he seemed
TO be wholly obliyious Of the presence
of the Navy defense. Hewitt. who
comes from the University Of Pitts
burg. relieved Wilson on a couple Of
plays, but in the main Wilson at
tended 10 the matter in person.
Harding shot a forward pass 10
Trapnell, putting the hall on Navy's
21-yard line. Trlpnel then made four
Yards or a plunge. The Army was
set back II yards for holding in the
line and Wilson looked very indignant
over this cancellation Of his efforts.
Trapnell finally had 10 kick to Shap-
ley. and that was that.
The Navy toyed with The ball
awhile, but presently Shapley kicked.
Then befoll a series Of interesting
Incidents. Harding fumbled the punt
snd Edwards recovered il for the
Navy. On tie very first inlay, Cald-
