  NAVY WINS GAME ON MUDDY FIELD, 2O-6 West Virginia Wesleyan Team Is Helpless Before An napOlis Warriors. ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 1.-The Mid shipmen proved themselves better mud horses than the Mountaineers this after noon, defeating the hard fighting eleven of West Virginia Wesleyan by 20 to on a soggy field with the rain falling during most Of the playing. The teams suffered about equally from failure to hold the ball. The winning factor was the stanchness OF the navy lines. the visitors being unable to pierce it materially at any time. The navy team made all Of its points in the first haif--a touchdown in the FIRST quarter and two with resulting goals in the second period. when the best available team was in the game. Though nearly all of the regulars remained through the third quarter the visitors were able to meet them on even terms and 70 prevent score. In the final period, with the navy substitutes in the game, Wesleyan scored. Fisher picked the ball up on a tumble and ran seventy yards for the tally. The second string men were unable to score this period, though they made a splendid effort toward the last, carrying the ball from midheld to the / yard point They. had another try Just as final time was called From the navy standpoint the game was satisfactory in demonstrating the worth OF a large number of men who have been plugging along In the back field all season. Koehler. who took AL ford’s place, the latter being out OF the game with injuries. played highgrade football, and was one of the last to go out. Clark kept up his good work, and had Just run fifty-five yards, the longest run OF the game from scrimmage. when in juries caused him to drop out The work of Waters and Rawlings was specially noteworthy. while Taylor and Waters, two plebes. were the heroes Of the brave effort the second string team made to score just before time was called. Wesleysns score came with about half OF the final period over. A bad pass from the navy centre caused tumble and Fisher. the visiting captain, grabbed 1t and ran seventy yards for a touch down Not a navy man stood in his way. He failed to kick goal.

The Hanover collegians. unable to push Colgate on the gridiron throne. took the next best thing and squeezed themselves into . seat beside the Hamilton team in the leading car OF the race.
