Gannon'S 77-Yard Run From

BY John B. KELLER.


~ ALTIMORE; November l0.-TWo
- big foot ball teams. Navy and
n Michigan, did a deal of run
l. ming and kicking before a crov a.
of $4,000 in Venable Stadium
here today, but at the finish Iee'5hA.
held an advantage. With the flrla.
whistle, the count stood 6-6 and the
way the teams had battled it seemed
neither would have won had the con-
test been continued indefinitely. II
was just that kind of foot ball game.
Navy was first to score. Its path to
a touchdown was blazed by Joe Gan
non when he received the kickoff
opening the third quarter and ran from
his 15-yard line to the foes 8-yard line
before he was downed. During his IT.
yard dash. the agile Cannon crossed
from one side of the gridiron TO the
other and twice reversed his field. Two
slams into Michigar's line followed
and netted 4 yards. Then Cannon was
given the ball and he crashed through
to the touchdown. Cannon tried to
kick the extra point, but he sent the
ball wide of the posts.
Late in the third quarter, Blondy
Simrall caught Navy punt, ran the
ball back 10 yards to midfield and there
Michigan launched an attack that
brought about the tie Three first downs
were reeled off by the Wolverines, NOV
ing the offensive to Nays 7-yard stripe
and Stanley Hozer, chunky fullback,
broke through the Mi6shipmen's for
ward wall for yards more just as the
quarter ended Three plungeS by Hozer
at the outset of the final quarter re-
suited in touchdown. Squier attempted
20 boot what would have proved the de-
ri hIfF Mo-
blocked the effort.
Kicks From Field Fail.
These were not the only scoring trials
of the game. Navy twice tried for goals
from the field. Late in the second
quarter. the MidSnipmen carried the
ball from the 40-yaro stripe to the 1S-
yard stripe in Michigan territory before
they were halted by the Wolverines.
Then Bower, a Navy substitute, was
rushed into action and he endeavored
to drop-kick a goal from the 25-yard
line. The kick was low and the ball
was stopped by Michigan man within
5 yards of the final line.
Michigan, before its scoring drive,
threatened to get somewhere in the
third quarter, but lost the ball on downs
at Nays 21-yard line.
And right at the finish Navy made
| a desperate bid for victory. The Mid
shipmen drove so yards to Michigan's
10-yard stripe. With only a minute
to play Whitley" Lloyd tried to kick
goal from placement on the 17-yard
line, but the ball sailed under the
croSs-bar and all threats were over for
the day.
Navy outrushed and outpassed Mich
h.
team in the line. The Midshipn1en
checked in with 10 first downs. all
but of them achieved by rushing.
Two resulted from overhead play.
Eight first downs were registered by
the Wolverines, all by running attack.
Navy went into the air eight times,
completed three passes for a total gain
OF 30 yards and had one pass int~r-
cepted. Michigan seven times resort
to the forward pass, completed one =.
lost yards in doing so.
Game Better in Second Half.
The only spectacular play of l..
game was Gannon's 77-yard runbaC !.
of the second half kickoff, yet after
tedious first half the contest was
1alrly interesting. Throughout the
opening quarter, both teams seemed

ball. Both BowStrom of Navy and
Slmrall Of Michigan time and time
again sent the pigskin sailing over the
field with the Wolverine getting a bit
more distance into his kicks than did
the Midshipman. The second quar-
ter found Michigan generally on thu
defensive, but in the last two periods
it was nip-and-tuck affair.
Early in the fray Navy had as the
core OF its attack Joe Clifton. the
Paducah plunger. and the Kentucky
boy did his work we'll Later Cannon
became the spearhead of the onslaught,
While. toward the end Lloyd figured
prominently in Nays drive. All OF
the Michigan backs contributed gen.
erously to their teams offensive, but
1t was Simran and Hozer who did most
OF the gaining. Simrall carried the
ball when end dashes we're in order
and Hozer when yardage through the
Navy line was attempted. For time
