well of the Navy fumblec and Born
of the Army recovered.
This was on the Nays 40-yard
line. and Tiny" Hewitt, of the
Army, proceeded to give the Sailors
fits. He packed the ball to within
half yard Of first down on two plays.
The Navy punched itself on the center,
figuring that the next play would be
that way, but the Army fooled EN-.
Harding Tipped a forward pass TO
Trapnel which was good for a fiji
teen-yard gain.
SCORE ON PASS.
Line plunges took the ball to
within twelve yards of the Navy goal,
and on the fourth down the Army
still had six yards TO go. Harding
whipped a pass right across center
to Baxter. who just barely managed
10 scramble on over the Navy goal
line for a touchdown. Wilson kicked
goal, the Navy almost blocking the
boot.
There was plenty of excitement in
the right field stand over this in
cident. Thu cray block waved until
it looked as if it would boil out into
the field. The Army mule was taken
on brisk gallop along the side-line,
but it seemed rather reluctant about
the iaunt. Mules have little sentiment
for football, or anything else.
The touchdown infatuated the
Sailors no little and toward the close
Of the half they had all their guns
roaring in an assault on the Army
goal. Hamilton kept flipping for
ward passes 10 Flippen until the ball
rested on the ArIny's 2j-yard line
just before the half ended. Then
DAILY intercepted one Of the passes
and the Army had possession Of the
ball when the recess came.
Between the halves the band play
ed. and the boys sang, on and off the
key, the jolly hymns Of their respec-
tive alma matters. if your Uncle Sam
uel's colleges come under that head.
The Army mule was given a lot Of
exercise, and the Navy goat browsed
on what is left Of Henry Fabian's
grass.
SOME EXAMPLES.
Distinguished looking Army and
Navy officers paced the side-lines with
heavy tread, just 10 show the young
gentlemen in the stands what they
may hope 10 become. The sun shone
cheerfully, and the flags huttered with
an air Of gaiety while the spectators
stepped on one an0thcr's toes in the
crowded run-ways. The Polo Grounds
was not built for berwcen-thc-halvcs
prOmeuaGes. Nor were the seats con-
structed 10 accommodate folks in
heavy wraps. They were arranged 10
fit the human body gwathed only il
the g0ssameTs Of rummcr.
The two football squads retired to
thgil dressing rooms. which were the
same rooms that are used by the noble
basgballcrs in the summer, and listen
cd 10 what the coaches had 10 say, and
that was probably plenty. Coaches
have a way Of saying things between
the acts.
The old grads present did a little

the wait. Classmates who had not
seen each other since The year Of the
big wind fJregathercd on both sides Of
the field. The parents % the young
gentlemen IN the gray or dark blue
uniforms, many Of whom had come
from distant places for the game,
waved at their offspring. who were
not permitted % miucle with the
tnr0ug.
Not much happened in the early
stages of the third period. A tumble
by Hewitt, on the Army's 39-yarI line.
was recovered by Wickhorst Of the
Navy.
And the left field stand bubblol

eight yards ON an end run from d
lateral pass. and Navy completed an.
other pass. but without gain. the BAH

PLOWS FOR FIFTEEN.
Hewitt plowed through center for

10 be playing most Of the game for
the Navy line. On the next play the
Army seemed 10 get its signals tangled
up, and Harding stood holding the
ball, as II waiting TO hear sone news
from somebody. Young Mr.. BSrnsteiu

Immediately after this incident. The
Army was penalized for holding. and
an attempted end run by HARDING
produced what you might call nil.
The ball was passed back 10 Trap

and as the ball hit his hands, Trap

Navy thought that this might b.
some new trick play and was inclined
