their own when the ball was pulied within Morinjr distance. Itecmisc it was
Imnonsible to sorc a touchdown, a couple of field jronls were kicked to pro
Trjf n tie count
Taking it all in all. the brand of footlull plnyed by the rival schools was
an impressive as the atmospheric conditions. It was n terrible day for any
Mnd-of sport, a steady drizzle fallinp throughout the four periods. nud 11 nice,

Vmeomfortnblc Oooil football was almost impossible, and perlinps that i. as

There was nothing spectacular in the contest, rvcrj thing being ilrab.
damp nd dismal. The only heroes were the several thousand spectators who
tat In the open stands with stoic indifference to the inin. which spoiled a couple
of million dollnrs' worth of wearing apparel. 'Of course, u, few plajrrs stood
out, like King. Cruise, Clark. ISrnoist and Kochlcr, of the Nn. and Wake
nd McQuarrie, of the Army, but their work was nothing to rae about.
Roth teams plnjed 'safety first" football. Tiicj refused to take any
chances on the attack or defense, froze on to the ball nncl wailed for the other
side to make a mistake. Seeinl times I noticed the Ai my men who broke
through the line lefuse to take a cluince at blocking a Navy kick, feaimg
they lnight run into the kicker nnd be penalized.
The Navy hud the ball most of the time because the West Pointers usually
kicked on the second or third down. That was pictjy good generalship, for it
forced the Middies to do lots of work nnd the backfield men were all used up
when the ball was carried inside of the lil-jard line. That gave the Army a
chance to stiffen its defense, halt the march Jo the goal line and force the
Nary to use placement kicks as a scoring medium.

Navy Team, Though Light, Was Well Trained
ITMl'RT be said, howecr. that fill more Dolnc. head couch at the Navj,,had
a well-trained team. The line, from end to end. outpla.cd its opponents and
worked beautifully with the backfield. Outweighed ninny pounds lo the man,
the smaller athletes hud it all out the big gujs like a tent. Thc pla.ud low,
charged bard nud always could be depended upon to open a hole for the ruuner.
Larson. IWnfeld, Murray and Hennnrd did tcry good work, outclassing the
forwards on the left side of the Armj line. NMnelj iter lent or the"Nav gains
'were made through that weak left side.
Dobie probably had inanv open plays, but none was attempted because
of the rain nnd wet field. When it was learned that ground could lie gained
on straight line plunges, eerj thing else was forgotten and the attack cdusMed
of bucks through center, off-tackle, an occasional end run, lo rcicrsc plujs
and one lateral pass. The forward pass was used mostly as a threat and kept
the secondary defense where it belonged.
The value of n direct pass wns prmrtl by the Nnvj The backfield men
got the ball from the center nnd. despite the mud and slippery condition of the
oval, ouly one fjjnible wasmade, and that was reentered bj the runner. The
Navy backs got the bnll while on the run, which speaks well for the passing; of
Larson. Ouce on a line plunge the bail wns lobbed up and Clark caught it
While going at full speed about two yards from the line of scrimmage.
The only new stunt pulled during the game was n quick kick fiom punt
formation used by the Army. This w'as v vi-r.i rffecthc jtlnj anil, with n man
HkeMcQuarrie to boot the ball, many jards were gained. McQuarrie, by
the way, punted tery well. Once, on a quick kick, he sent the ball mcr
KoehlerVhcad anil it rolled across the goal line The ball trateled lo jards,
which is pretty good on a wet field.
Had the field been ilrj, perhaps the Nnvj would have doue better wink
and scored a couple of touchdowns. As it wns, the Middies hnd to use up all
of their energy carrjlug hc ball down the field on straight line plunges and
could not produce that fiuul punch to put over a touchdown.
'Villi fact that the A'ni'y made aixfcni firit dowm to none for the
' Armi and was unable to pish a man over the line for a scaic shows
here teas a lot of useless running in the game. That tern beauic
the Army always kieked the ball out of danger, while the Middiri mi
rfed it down the field againrt stiff opposition.
Rules Should Compel
W3E
it
EN the rules committee meets this
compulsory for every plajer on
At present the only thing in the rules is a note in italics which saya: ''The
committee recommends that all players be numbered." More drastic legislation
than this is needed.
In the Army-Nary game some 45,000 spectators were present and niue
tenths -were unable to identify a single plajer. As a result no one knew what
was going on, no one knew who wns carrying the ball and even the newspaper
men had to do considerable guessing. The men were numbered in the pro
gram, but that was as far us it went. Tf n substitute went in somebodj hnd
to interview the conch and then wig-wng the number to the press box. Occa
sionally the number wns lorrect. The only Army and Nmy men who rould
be recognized on the field were Secretaries Daniels nnd linker.
Jf the newspaper men arc unable to identify the plaers, what chance is
there for the public to find out? It must be remembeicd that the public pnjs
tho expenses and makes possible the building of huge stadiums and should
be entitled to some consideration. Numberless football is '"lie most unpopular
thing in the world, and the time has come to abolish it.
At present only five teams refuse to adopt the sjstem. They are Vale,
Harvard, Trinccton, West l'olnt and Anuapolis. It is claimed that number
ing the men gives the opposition scouts a better line on the star plajers. This
lt all bunk. Star players dp not have to be labeled and the scouts could pick
them out if they were disgutted.
TUHEN teams like Venn fitatc, l'ennsyhaiiia, Pittsburgh, Cornell,
i rf Dartmouth and 11'. mid J, wear numbers, why not the otherst
It's up to the rules committee to do something.
Successful Season for Independent Football
TNPEPENDKNT football had a big season nround Philadelphia, because the
JLHeBnia played clean games nnd adhered to the highest standards of sporH-
',Snship, Once upon a time an outside football gumc was considered too rough
to pfc taken seriously, and as a result the fans refused to attend because of
(Jie constant squabbliug. Fist tights were quite common and the games Ubunlly
(Would end vlth spectators and players fighting it out on the gridiron.
This year, however, things have changed. An independent football game
Is ad well conducted as the college contests, the fnns turn out in big numbers
and thoroughly enjoy the sport. There are no fist fights nnd every game is
decided on its merits. True, the men play hard football, but they play clean,
The. spectators, too, are fair and ask for nothing hut a square deal.
There is no renson why un athlete who never hr.s been to college should
bo deprived of a chance lo piny football. He can join an independent club
CjmU derive the benelitt) of the game the same as his more fortunate brothers.
College nien who have plajed their three or four years should be nllowed to
,cmlloue the sport if they ko desire.
Around Philadelphia we have such teams as Vincomc, Holniesburg, Con-Jic-Iiocken,
Frankford, Ewlujr. Hobart and Vfctrlx. and in Jersey there arc
ih Riverside and IUverton elevens. These teams-plan to play all this month,
and followers of football will make no mistake in attending the games.
An effort is being made to get the Holniesburg nnd A'incomc teams to
gether in the next two weeks. It appears that Vincomo cnllrd off a regularly
ncaedujed gaino this fall and now Holmesburg refuses to listen to overtures
tor pout-season battle. Manager McDonald, of Vlucoine, admits ho made

UTS THE way of attendance," remarks John Murray Gibbon, of Montreal,
J- "there is n. vast diffcrenco between English nnd American colleges when n1
football game is played. The Oxford-Cambridgo rugby games rarely eTer
draw over G000 people. Yet our professional soccer games will draw oiler,
100,000, In English college sport we have no such thing as tho GO.OOO or
60,000 that come to see a XalcPrinccton or a Yale-Harvard game."
There is Tcry little doubt that a big football game in the United States
of America ivlll outdraw any other sport. '
The attendance on n big game stops nt the stand's limit only. If Tola
and Harvard wcro to meet in an affair even bordering on a championship and
every, one who wanted to come could get a ticket the attendance would
undoubtedly run well above 100,000.
As it is over 0S.000 have crowded into the Tale Bowl, with thousands
of applications' sent back.
Fromi 80,000 to 100,000 tickets could have been sold for the Army-Navy
game without turning an eyelash.
. .
fltF thrill, the color, the dash, the general ensemble, the human
yearning to go with the crowd all help to put football out in front.
IF ONE were lo make a list of the exceptional achievements turned out, by
football elevens in the way of heavy scoring the following would he

Pittsburgh, 20; West Virginia, 0.
West Virginia, 25 j Princeton, 0.
Georgia Tech, 27i Georgetown, 0.
These wcro all elevens supposed to be equally matched.
VET in these individual contests the winners happened to be at top
form and the break of the game was such they were able to vake
a runaway contest of what ordinarily would have been a SO-SO ,,
