naval contingent was given the sur
prise OF it's life when a light but
spunky lot of youths utterly outplayed
a. reserve team which had been
thought strong enough to take its

The visitors scored twice in the
opening quarter and blanked the
Navy. The first touchdown was on
an intercepted pass of the Navy's,
but the second followed brilliant
passing attack.
Early in the second quarter, Bill
Ingram put into the play the same
team which must oppose the Army
next Saturday and it was not until
late in the third quarter that margin
was secured for the Navy. while the
game was nearly over before il was
