Point from gaining deep into danger
territory and the chances are that

held to one touchdown. And a for
ward pass may be intercepted against
the best of teams.
Technically Fine Game.
The game technically was one of
the best the writer has seen this sea.
son. ranking in this respect with the
Yale-PrincetOn game. There are times
when the rival teams in this great
service game forget a lot they. have
learned and do a lot of clawing and
random work. But Saturday every
detail of play from start to finish
was exact.
The line play of both elevens-save
for one lapse by the Navy and a
lapse in the first half by the Army
which permitted a nice Navy march
and a blocked Army punt-was prac-
was a JOY to behold and the ball for
and followed unerrngly.
Navy's line charge in the first half
was splendid and quite dominated the
stalwart opposing forwards. Both
elevens had a we'll conceived attack.
the Navy offense, so far as sustained
success in rushing went, was quite
superior until the Army In the sec
ond period diagnosed 1t and held 1t
safe. Navy's forward passing, as was
shown, was more conducive to results
than the Army overhead game. All
in all, as the writer predicted on Fri
day, the better defensive eleven won.
The Army had it in her to show a
more consistent attack but did not
produce.
Southern CalifOrnia's eleven came
1000 miles to Chicago, made touch
down against Notre Dame and in
turn Notre Dame crossed the Trojans'
line. Both touchdowns came as the
result of forward passes.
Yet because Notre Dame kicked the
goal after touchdown and Southern
California, because the ball was held
in a bungling way, did not gain the
extra point, victory went to Notre
Dame. 1t is rather ridiculous. The
Los Angeles eleven was entitled to
tie and that is the way the game
should have turned out. Again the
unfairness of that point after touch
down rule has clearly been manifested.
Army's foot ball season cannot be
dismissed without a word of credit to
the splendid coaching staff which
Capt. l.. M. Jones, the head coach.
gathered around him and who co.
operated with the finest spirit in the
production of a great eleven. The staff
consisted of Maj. Sasse. LieutA Bryan,
Byers, Johnson, Wood, Stokes,
Wickes, Hewitt and Earl Blaik, the
| former Army end star. and now In
civil life. The list would not be com
plete however, without the names Of
