Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-11-27

to cross the Cadet goal line in five
thrusts from the three yard mark.
This was the most heroic defense
stand of the game. Twice Clifton
ploughed into the mased forwards
barely making yard each time
Lloyd took turn at tackle with
only foot to show for his plunge
Then Clifton made the final thrust,
only to be piled up in the swirling
mass with the goal inches away.
The game, brilliant but not as
spectacular a pageant as it was a
year ago in Chicago, was witnessed
by the largest crowd it has ever
attracted in the east, as great an
assemblage as ever saw. football
battle in New York. Secretaries Will
bur and Davis, Mayor Jimmy Walker,
high officers of both branches of
the service mingled with thousands
of fans, forming backgrounds that
I had their most colorful features in
the grey-coaed corps of cadets and
the blue-coated brigade of midship-
men.
Cheers roared and echoed from one
side of the field to the other as the
rival admirals and generals of the
future We'd for vocal hon6rs.
But the cadets had the last cheer

! In the Trojan locker room after tlnt
game, there was considerable discus.
sion regarding. the disputed play wher
went for Notre Dame touch back, al
though some thought it should have
been a safety.
| Coach Jones said
ct wasn't an official, and what the
officials rule stands If Riley had
control ofthe ball, it was a safety; il
he didn't have control of it, it was q
touchback 1t was a great game.
don't think either team showed any
! strong SllDeriOritV"
Walter Eckersall, an umpire who
served as lineman today, wrote o fthe
disputed play:
"Riley of Notre Dame leaped into
the air in an effort to catch the pass
ed ball. A fraction of second after
he caught it he was tackled by a
Trojan player and the bali struck the
end zone and rolled over the end line
A touchback always results when the
ball on any incompleted forward pass
strikes the ground in the end zone. The
officials who we're on top of. the play
ruled that Riley did not have the ball
under his control"
