I score of the game. The maroon squad con- tinually pushed their way into the seamen's 5' 'A' territory but each time they lost the ball. After many damag- ing runs Kohout in the second quarter made the only other tally of the game. In the second half the Navy came back rather strong but they could not penetrate the cadet line. Although it did not result in a score, the most spectacular run was played by Brown, the cadet quarterback, when he took the ball on his own Eve yard stripe and despite his cracked hip trotted at a very slow pace all of sixty-five yards before he was halted. The fourth quarter was a series of repelled charges on both sides and at the final gun the score stood 12 0 in favor of the New York Cadets In summing up this year s totals we may well call it a suc cess, bowing only twice to our visitors And though gradua tion strips us of 15 letter men we feel sure that next year s team will continue this excellent record THF COHXCHI C1 STAFF F 1 1 J fi 1 .
