  LONG BUCkNELL RUN BEATS NAVY, 6 TO 0 ANNAPOLIS, Md, November 10 Playing on q muddy field and In a rain which turned into a wet snow before the first half was finished BuckneH won from Navy today, to 0. The visitors deserved the victory by reason Of the superiority of their backs and for a superb stand in the third quarter, which took the ball on downs inside the 1-yard line. 1t was a very pleasing victory to Bucknell, which had not registered a triumph over the Navy since 1912, though the last three games have been won by a single touchdown. The crucial play Of the game was the 6o-yard run for touchdown by Bill Blaisdell in the final quarter. This big fellow was a West Pointer last Year and played In the muddy game between the. service schools. He took the ball on Navy punt and ran straight down field through the whole MILDLY team. The Navy had q splendid chance to score in the third quarter, when Goodwin punted badly twice in succession, the second time the ball going outside on the visitors 20-yard line. A pass from Hamilton to Taylor yielded is yards and Hirst was able to make 3 and then ] off his right tackle. At this point the stalwart Bucknell forwards stood firm and the ball was still 2 feet from touchdown when the ball passed over on downs.
