 New York, Oct. 19-(UP)-When earth's last picture is painted, and the tubes are twisted and dried, and all the admirals sailing the seas have kicked the bucket and died
 Navy men who saw the academy's football forces battle Yale at Balti- more last Saturday still will be ar guing the legality of that third pe- riod score which gave the little boys in blue a 12 to 2 triumph.
 It was freak, no doubt about that, and skinned the Okeson football code mighty dangerously, if 1t didn't actually violate it. Here is the play as I recall it:
 MiX-up
 With Navy leading to 6 near the end of the third period, Yale's kick CT a gentleman named Mott, got off long, twisting punt which fell into the arms of Sneed Schmidt, Navy's safety man, on his own 35 yard line. The ball bounced out of Sneed's arms 8 split second after it struck them and went bouncing crazily along the ground. The first Yale man to arrive on the scene was Bob Carey, left end, who fell to the ground and began battling Schmidt
 Just when it seemed that Schmidt for possession of the ball.
 would win the duel-Sneed was tucking the ball under his body, in fact-Larry Kelley, the big Irish captain of the Yales, arrived under 8 full head of steam. His right foot struck the ball squarely and it zoomed from under Schmidt and sailed g yards to Navy's 3-yard line. Without breaking his stride, Kelley went after the ball and recovered 1t for his side within step of Navy'S goal, from which point Clint Frank went over for a touchdown two plays later.
 As you know, to kick a loose ball is to commit foul. The officials didn't think Kelley had deliberately booted the ball to keep Schmidt from recovering it, for they never even raised finger. But up in the press box. which was well popu- lated with experts, psuedo and genuine. the concensus was that Kelley, thinking quickly, had taken Q full brassie swing.
 Oae expert, whose heart was with the sailor men, even went so far as to SO down on the field after the game, borrow football, and give an exhibition which proved to his satisfaction at least, that football couldn't be accidentally kicked g yards. With his coat-tails flying the breeze, this expert backed off an dtook running start toward. 8 football which he had placed in the approximate position of the one fumbled by Schmidt, and kicked it with his normal stride. The ball didn't go ten yards. He tried again and again and his best distance, when he simply ran into the ball was short of Is yards. He offered this as concrete evidence that Kel- ley had momentarily checked his charge and deliberately given the ball ride.
 Of course, this demonstration wasn't concrete evidence of any thing of the sort. Kelley is much more accomplished football player than the expert, who has been out of college since the days of mus tachioed tackles and bamboo padded pants. It is entirely possi- hle that Kelley can do more with 8 football accidentally than the ex- pert can Intentionally.
 Off and On
 Kelley, one of those natural play CTS who somehow manage to deliver when the going is toughest, did an- other strange thing during the Sat- urday game. One time, with the ball near the sideline, Yale punted and Kelley, instead of running straight down the field, cut over five yards to his right and ran out of bounds. He actually was three or four yards outside thep laying cid, and at quick glance appeared to be Yale subsctitute warming up. Naturally no one went outside to block him. When he had reached a point across from where the Yale safety man awaited to catch the punt, he came onto the field again and nailed the sailor safety man in his tracks.
 ! don't know what the ruling is on this. Is there an out of bounds penalty as there is in golf? But he sdid 1t. and perhaps I shouldn't mention 1t. because it gave me what is sometimes referred to as the laugh hearty. And didn't get many out of the game because, as you per- haps remember, I picked Navy. Whats worse. wagered a quar- fsr on It's chances.
