The Last of the IngramS is q

Charles Meyer, a slender strand
Of rawhide with the courage of
the Immortals of Asgard, is q son
of Col. Charles Meyer. Weighing
less than $50 pounds, Meyer has
been outstanding from the day he

Meyer was born at West Point
when his father was adjutant Of
the post back in 1913, in that year
that Notre Dame sent its first
team, with Knute Rockne, Charley
Dorais, Eichenlaub and Finnegan,
among others. into the East to
dazzle the Seaboard with its mas
terry of the forward pass.
It was Ingram's def toe that
turned back Notre Dame in the
Baltimore Stadium on November
7. He spun field goal from the
16-yard line after a dazzling run
back of a kick. In the past two
weeks of practice Ingram Spanned
the distance to the goal line from
as far as the 35-yard line. making
a total distance of As yards with
his kicks He is prepared for long
range shooting today.
Field Goals Frequent
Field goals have played their
part in this service clash. Two
years ago in the slime and mud
of Franklin Field, Slade Cutter,
great tackle and heavyweight
champion boxer Of the Naval Acad-
envy, beat Army with placement
kick. So bad was the condition
Of the cleat-churned field that it
seemed almost impossible for a
human leg to send that heavy,
soaked ball over the posts
One of the legendary klckers OF
Nays football legions was Jack
Dalton. They called him Three to
Nothing" Jack over at "Crabtown
on the Bay" and they named one
of the Navy MascotS after him.
Dalton won the 1911 game with
placement goal, and he kicked one
against Army in 1910.
Cmdr. j. H. Babe" Brown
kicked five goals against Army,
three in 1918, and two in 1912. In
each year his toe accounted for
the victories of the Midshipmen.
The names Of Long, Chambers and
Northcroft appear among the field
goal specialists of Navy, so Ingram
will advance to the elect Of the
Academy'S athletes if he turns the
trick this year. Clyde King kicked
two goals in the mud and fog Of a
game on the Polo Grounds under
the Short-lived Dobie regime at
Annapolis.
Garbisch Was Deadly
Army has not been without its
field goal specialists, to be sure.
Eddie Garbisch was deadly in his
accuracy at reasonable distance,
and so have others, among them
the gallant Russell Red" Reeder,
who won his letter by his skill at
shooting field goals.
Navy is team definitely on the
uplift. 1t beat Notre Dame, turn
ing back the Romans almost on
the goal line, thanks to fierce
tackle of Wilke by Bob Antrim.
The force Of Antrim'S plunge
knocked the ball out Wilkes hands.
Having conquered Notre Dame,
Navy carried on and beat Harvard,
not as badly as Army walloped the
Crimson earlier in the season, but
Harvard was better team when 1t
faced the MidShipmen.
Army has lost its last two major
games, bowling to Colgate and
Notre Dame.
Lines Evenly Matched
When the last word has been
written or said concerning foot
ball games. the scintillating backs
of whom we hear so much, run only
as far as the line and their block
ers make that possible. If the line
creates an opening and the block
erS give a man safe conduct to
the line of scrimmage, the ball
carrier should progress.
The starting lines should be
evenly matched today, all things
considered. Maurice Ferrara is
named to start on the Navy line
at tackle. This boy was aided
from the field against Notre Dame
with an injured leg. Just how
much hammering his limb Will
stand is something that you can
answer as well as the next one.
Suffice to say that If Ferrara does
