Navy Close to Score.
Navy came close to getting two points
in the third period. A Navy punt left
Georgetown attacking from its 9-yard
stripe. Instead of Immediately kicking
the ball out of this dangerous position,
the Hoyas elected to run 1t. Leary was
given the oval while standing far back
of his line in a kick formation and at

right end Hard pressed, Leary reversed
his field and went back of his own goal
line in veering toward the Nays LETT
flank. Joe Bauer bore down on Leary
quickly and toppled him apparently just
as he reached the final stripe. 1t looked
as though the Navy had gotten a great
break with a safety, but when the
referee had unscrambled the players
the ball was found resting a foot be-
yond the danger mark. Just a dozen
inches had separated Georgetown from
defeat
Each side had its brilliant players,
but there was no team play to help
these scintillating gridmen with their
worth. Behind the Navy line Spring
and Cannon did about all they could
to make it a poor afternoon for George
town. Most Of the gaining Navy did
was credited to these two agile ball
toters. But Georgetown had to match
them, in fact, outmatch them with
Scalzi and Leary. After a rather slug
gish first nalf this pair found its foot

time ran wild. Scalzi was especially

Both Lines Play Well.
AS has been mentioned both lines
played we'll but several members OF
eacn stood head and shoulders above
the others in their efforts. For George
town, .Cordovano at tackle and the ends,
Provincial and Gehringer gave splendid
performances. The hankmen Joppled
many of the wide swinging plays tried
by the Midshipmen while Cordovano
time and time again charged furiously
by the opposing Navy linemen to breaS
up the attack in its making. Bryan
and Bowstrun, rangy tackles, kept
Georgetown at bay more often than not.
They were the bulwarks of the Mid
shipments forward wall. Byng, the
Washington boy, did well, too, at end,
much of the time Georgetown flanked
him occasionally, but he accounted for
@ number of tackles.
There was much good kicking done.
Mooney and Scalzi took care of the
hooting for Georgetown, and each got

Mooney once got of a poor kick into
the wind, but 1t did not hurt the

Nays 10-yard stripe, but 20 yards of
this distance was due to roll. Several
players kicked for Navy, but Bowstrum
did the bulk of the booting and he
averaged about 40 yards which was
good, considering that often he had to
drive the ball against wind that swept
Farragut Field throughout the fray.
Few Tackles Missed.
There was little to choose between the
tackling OF the two teams. Each hit the
bali runner sharply and few tackles
were missed. Georgetown's tacklers may
have been trif1e better than Nays
most of the way, but the Mldshipmen
grabbing the ball runner did so in neat
and efficient manner. There were hard
falls aplenty but at that few players
were hurt to such an extent that time
had to be taken out. The only severe
hurt of the game was inflicted upon
