  SATURDAY ‘SFOOTBALL GAMES NAvY’S SCORELESS GAME WITH BUCKNELL. A Punting Duel Other Games Played. The Naval Academy team. lacking the services of Capt. Spencer and Quarterback Norton. were only able to hold the heavy Bucknell team to a scoreless game Saturday afternoon. The game was very largely punting duel between Strclinger. for the mid shipmen. and Clark for Bucknell. The high wind made the light OF the pig skin very uncertain and there were number of fumbles. Fnllback Clark. of BuclSnell, generally received the Navy punts> and handled them we’ll. When they went high and dropped in the whole bunch, “A Navy player generally grabbed the ball. Both sides came nearest TO scoring in the first half. The Navy could not gain many yards in any place between BucknelI’s tackles, but Burg and Inrgam made substantial gains just over the ends. With a series OF these plays, with Richardson occasionally making yard or two at tackle, the ball was brought sixty yards TO Bucknell’s l0-yard line. Here, however, a strong stand was made, Bucknell got the ball on downs and Clark booted out of danger. Buck nell received the ball Son an off-side kick little later in the half and held ii on the Nayy’s 20-yard line. The midshipmen piled them up for three plays, however, and the ball changed ownership. In the second half, with the advantage of the wind, the Navy expected to score. However, Clark 5 excellent kicking prevented it. His punts were low and hard, and, Notwithstanding the hard adverse wind, went good distance in every case. They were excellently placed and undoubtedly saved his team from being scored against. 1t was found that neither team was strong enough to gain regularly, and the game resolved itself into exchanges of punts, each side hoping that tumble would give them a chance TO score. The game ended however, with both sides blank. The line up: Navy–Clark. /. e.; Piersol, Simpson, |. t.; Strrelinger, |. g.; Silnglutf. center; Shafroth, r, g.; Magruder, r. t..
