  NO SCORE AT ANNAPOLIS. Unusual Interest in the Dickinson Navy Game. Special Dispatch to The Star ANNAPOLIS, Md, October 6-More than usual interest was taken in the Dickinson Navy game here this afternoon, both be- cause Of the close contests played between the two teams for the last four seasons and the fact that the new rules were put In practice here for the first time. Neither side scored Although there was plenty Of good old-time foot ball, several material changes in method of play We’re noticeable, particularly in defensive formations design ed to protect against forward passes and Quick kicks The Navy team played quick half-back kick on which they recovered the ball once They also used a diagonal kick. which would probably be effective ordinarily, but the excellent handling of the ball by McWhnney, Dickinson’s quar- ter prevented a recovery of the ball in any instance. This play was tried by the Navy at least a dozen times in the last half. Dickinson had a fade quarterback KICK from a place-kck formation, but 1t was not successful in any of the three times it was tried Almost all the material gains of the day were made by Capt Spencer for the Navy and Frye for the visitors. The former ran back on kick thirty yards and made other good runs after punts and also | from scrmmage.
