Amidst a season of surprising scores State added another victory
to her list at Annapolis, Saturday, October 31st. The Middies were
so sure of this game that they were offering two to one, but they
have learned that relative scores show nothing. Two thousand
people saw State do it. The Navy made but two first downs, one
in each half.
In the first four minutes of play neither side could gain more
than four yards. By the end of the fifth minute Capt. Whitworth
had made a run of fifty yeards around the Navy’s right end for a
touchdown, and Forkum had kicked the goal. Near the end of the
first half Whitworth dropped a goal from the 25 yard line. In
the second half Forkum was shoved across the line after a series
of line plunges, in which State’s line showed up well. He also
kicked the goal. State was making for another touchdown when
she was penalized twenty yards at the 25 yard line. With twenty
seven yards to gain on the last down, Whitworth tried a drop from
the 45 yard line. It was so close to a goal that A 1 Sharpe hesi
tated, and the points were scored up on the score board before he
decided in the negative. The team, and especially the' line, is
rapidly getting into good shape under the guidance of Coach
Reed.
The receipt of the score at the college was a signal for a parade,
a bonfire and a stag in the armory. The old, bleachers were con
signed to the flames while the students rejoiced. The line-up:
STATE. POSITION. ANNAPOLIS.
Parry left end Clay (Howard).
Arbuthnot left tackle Pierson (McKinney).
