WARNING TO ARMY

low Possibilities.

DHnADELPHIA, December 6.
r. Navy set a string of storm
i signals for all of Army to
see today as a surprisingly
versatile squad Of midshipmen
battered and passed Pennsyl-
vania's fair eleven into absolute
submission before an enthusiastic
crowd of $4,000.
Whipped four times this season, rated
hardly formidable rival for the power
full Cadets in the charity climax of
the Eastern campaign in New York
next Saturday, Navy pulled the plug
on an amazingly potent offensive and
smothered the QuakerS, 26 to 0. The
score might have been twice that large
if the Midshipmen had chosen to take
chances instead Of kicking and waiting
for scores until they all but dropped
In their laps.
Penn Offensive Weak.
So completely was Navy in complete
command Of the situation without the
aid of q single Marine, that the Penn
sylvania team that scored 20 points
in the Notre Dame rout made Just
three first downs and gained only Is
yards more than 1t lost from scrim-
mage. Two desperate passes, one COM
plete because of interference, and q
12-yard run by Capt. Dick Gentle on
fake kick from behind his own goal
line, provided the entire Pennsylvania
offensive for the afternoon.

miserable in a scoreless first half that
saw the rejuvenated squad from An
napolis push Penn all over the field,
but refuse to take chances deep in the
enemy's territory. It wasn't until
Kirn's substitute, 170-pound young
ster named Tommy Hurley, q second
classman from New York City, came
into the backfield for the second half,
with a substitute quarterback. Rusty
helm, that Navy began to 60 places
and do things in q manner that sur
priSed the roaring regiments from the
Naval Academy.
Four Advantages Count.
Four times in the second half, Navy
took advantage Of breaks as avidly
half and converted each opportunity
into q touchdown. Nal Tuttle, Nays
crack center, smothered q ball that
bounced of Penn's back in motion,
Gentle, on the Quaker 37-yard line and
pass, Hurley to Williams, carried to
the 16. Hurley blasted straight down
through the center alley in short takes
until he doomed over from the 3-yard
line. Blimp Bowstrom, Nays big
kicking tackle, booted the goal from
placement.
Jack Cannon, wheel horse Of the
Navy backfield, then helped himself to
the first of his pair Of touchdowns. He
scored the first on q 5-yard burst
through center near the end Of the
third period after williams intercepted
on Penn's 20-yard line q pass that
Jerry Ford, substitute Quaker back,
tried to complete from behind his own
goal. The second, early in The fourth
quarter, was q personal venture.
Cannon reached up and grabbed
another desperate Penn toss on the
Red and Blue 42-yard line. He i'm
mediately shot q long pass to Ryng,
best Of the Navy ends, in Penn's To-
yard line, and In two whacks at CEN
ter personally escorted the leather
across the goal. Williams offered a
variation to the usual procedure by
tossing short pass to Byng for the
extra point.
Navy's substitutes scored the final
touchdown near the end of the final
quarter.
Navy gained 225 yards from scrim-
make as compared to the net profit of
is gathered by Penn in the Quakers'
final effort of the season and made 18
first downs to Penn's 3. Navy gained
IS yards by passing; Penn, so. Penn's
longest gain from scrimmage was So
yards.
