Army Makes Scoring Bids.

Army Makes Scoring Bids.
THUS, with one sharp scoring thrust.
the Middies accomplished what
the golden-helmeted Cadets had
threatened to do for three previous
periods and what, for time, appeared
inevitable.
Late tonight the Associated Press
reported the Philadelphia Inquirer
quoted Field Judge Miller:
Sullivan was the man and he rode
Antrim for at least yards.
Antrim and Sullivan were after the
pass, with Antrim in perfect position
to catch it, his back to Sullivan. when
the latter rushed up from the rear,
rode Antrim as a youngster rides his
fathers shoulders in the game of
'piggy-back' and prevented him from
catching the ball." the paper quoted
Miller.
1T was foul and there was moth
ing else to do but award the ball
to Navy at that spot"
Midway the first period Army staged
the first Of its several threats when,
on three ground plays, Craig, Jack
Ryan and Sullivan moved the ball
from their own 20-yard line to Nays
l3. Three brilliant runs were these,
but once within the shadow of the
MILDLY goal the Army found the Navy
defense impregnable. The Cadets
failed to gain an inch from the 13
and finally. on fourth down, Craig
attempted a long pass to Maurice
Preston in the end zone. Schmidt
and Ingram knocked it down.
Little Monk Meyer. the best back
on the field this afternoon, entered
the game for Army when the second
period opened. and engineered two
drives that were stopped virtually on
the Navy goal. He started the first
march by running back long punt
by Schmidt 80 yards. This put the
ball on the Navy 40 Then he passed
to Sullivan and the oval was on the
IS. Sliding of tackle, Meyer broke
loose for Is more yards, Navy's Frank
Case stopping him on the Middys 13.
Ryan, In Clear. Steps Outside.
CRAIG hit the line for yard and
Meyer. carrying it the next two
times. made more yards. On fourth
down Monk missed making the need
ed distance by inches and Navy took
the ball on downs on its S-yard line.
Schmidt kicked, sending the ball out
side on his own IS.
Back again surged the gray horde.
Meyer again slid of tackle to break
away for 22-yard jaunt and a first
down on the Navy 13 once more
This threat finally ended as did the
other. Navy took the ball on downs
on its 7-yard line and this time
Schmidt delivered terrific punt from
behind his own goal, the ball travel
ing over Meyers head to Army's %.
A third time in this period did the
Army make a gesture, and had the
eridiron been a foot wider the
Cadets might have scored on a bril-
liant pass by Meyer and a run by
Ryan. After taking Schmidt's punt
on his ~ and failing to gain on two

N NAvY was more aggressive in the
second half. Shortly after the
resumption of play, Antrim recovered
q tumble by Ryan on Army's 10, but
three line plays lost yardage and
Ingram's pass on fourth down was
blocked by Preston.
Shortly thereafter both elevens were
to get breaks. Left Guard Ray Du-
bois recovered a tumble by Sullivan
on Army's 4s and Navy marched and
passed to the enemy 26 before the
Cadets stopped the drive and took
the ball on downs. A few minutes
later Schwenk recovered a tumble by
Schmidt on Navy's 25 and, with
Meyer leading the attack, Army
reached the 10, but again fumbled,
and Rivers Morrell recovered for Navy
to punt to safety.
An injury to Meyer few minutes
after the final period started seemed
the break needed to allow Navy to
assert itself on the winning march.
With the ball on Navy's 48, Monk vas
hurt while skirting end and Craig re-
placed him. For a while the Cadets
