"A crosse team gained rather I'M
4 a expected victory over the Uni
versity of Maryland twelve here
this afternoon, 4 to 3. In a game which
could not be improved upon for fast
and spirited playing and for the excit-
ing situations which developed during
its course.
BY its victory the Navy kept its record
for the season without spot.
Not more than point separated the
teams at any stage Of the game, three
times 1t was tied, and both teams had
the lead at different stages of the game.
Navy First to Score.
The Navy was the first to score, when
Capt. Parrish goaled less than two
minutes after the start, and then Evans
and Holloway tailed for Maryland.
Capt. Parrish made his second goal,
tying the score, four minutes before
the end of the half.
Conn put the Navy in the lead early
in the second half and later Evans
again made it tie. The winning goal
was scored for the Navy by eastman
with less than two minutes to play.
The Nays victory was largely a re-
suit of extremely brilliant work upon
the part of its defense players, partic-
SdIIlpDeu, fAIIIluI,
and the. intensely spirited individual
work of the whole team.
The game exhibited by the Navy had
distinct flaws in 1t, notably in poor
passing and catching and in failure to
put over fast and accurate team work
at critical points.
Some of this was due to the condi-
ton of the field which, apparently Of
fered poor footing, for there was an
~ eli fla
by both teams.
The game was also a distinctly
scrappy exhibition, and the authority
of the officials frequently was called in
to play to Danish players to the side
lines. Arthur, Navy, and Smink,
each had one of these vacation on ac-
count of little overagressiveness,
while Evans, Marylands scoring ace,
and Spring, who was tolled off to give
him particular attention, were at each
other large part of the game.
Those who had picked Maryland to
be an easy winner. and they num-
bered the majority of those in touch
with the game had surprise when
Parrish, the Navy captain, took pass
from eastman and scored after 2
minutes and 10 seconds of playing.
However, minutes later, Evans
elude Spring and drove the ball into
the net with fast shot from the right.
There was no scoring for the next Is
minutes, but at the end Of that time
Holloway put Maryland in the lead,
also scoring on a medium long shot
from the right. A minute and a half
later. with barely minutes of the half
remaining, Parrish tied the score,
lodging in and shooting after taking a
pass from Allen.
eastman Puts Navy Ahead.
After nearly minutes of playing In
the second half, Conn, who had been
doing some great lodging throughout
the game, ran from behind the goal
and made a shot which again put the
Navy in the lead.
Maryland kept the ball in Nays
field most of the remaining por-
tons of the half, until the last
minutes of the game, when
Evans picked up the ball behind his
own goal and again getting away from
Spring, drove it past WEIGH.
The Navy again took the offensive,
and scored the winning tally when
Conn ran the ball from midfeld and
passed to eastman, who scored OIL
the longest successful shot of the game.
