  A NO-SCORE TIE PLAYED Middies Meet Something Of A Surprise In The Husky Rutgers College Aggrega- tion On Saturday NAVY WAS NEAR DEFEAT When GiIchrist Was Interfered With By Rutgers Tackler Seventy Yard Run For Touch Down Is Called Off Only by the keen ability of Referee Taussig to discover a Bit of inter. ference with running tackler, which was not seen by many persons about the field, was Navy saved from defeat at the hands of the husky and heady Rutgers aggregation on Worden Field Saturday afternoon. And this in game that had confidently been expected to turnout a walk-over for the sailor lads proved the unpleasant surprise to the MILDLY hackers. The play was peculiar in that when the same official was serving in the Navy–Rutgers contest last season, he was called upon to make a similar ruling that likewise broke up score after a long run by Rutgers play er. The visitors were decidc ‘ly sore over the decision, but went ris IT back to playing. The play occurred in the second quarter of the contest whel Navy had the visitors driven back to their 40-yard line. Clay, who had an off day and played an erratic game, was guilty of a miserable tumble that Robinson, left end of the visitors, took ready advantage of. Scooping up the bounding pigskin, he was of in an instant down the field with no one between him and the far away Blue and Gold posts and cross bar McGovern, of his own team, came through and was soon with Robinson, interfering for the runner. The husky but speedy Gilchrist, of the Navy aggregation, who played an aggressive contest throughout, was rapidly overhauling his man when McGovern, running beside him, threw his arm out and, according to the referee, was guilty of interference with man not carrying the ball. This was on the 20-yard line, and the referee called the play back to this point, from where Robinson had downed the ball safely behind the Navy goal posts. The visitors stoutly protested the decision, but resumed play. They could not, however, make much progress, and the attempt at field goal, which they were forced to make, was a dismal failure. The game was played on soggy field, due to the all. day rain, but, despite this element, each team got off some fast plays, though fumbles were frequent, and both teams suffered penalties for holding and off-side. The offensive tactics of the New Jersey aggregation did not work quite as smoothly as that of the middies, though on the defensive the middies had little, if anything, on them. The lighter men from the New Jersey town time and again broke through and either threw the runner for loss or no gain. On the whole, however, the middies gained more yards in straight plays than their op. ponents. There was one shining light in each of the teams-Dalton, for the Navy, and Alverson, for Rutgers. These two men were rivals in the kicking line, Dalton doing most of the punting for his team, while Alverson performed that service throughout for Rutgers; but Dalton’s mighty toe seemed somewhat off-color, and while Alverson sent away slightly longer ones, the MILDLY backs ran the kicks back better than did the visitors, thus covering up the advantage in that regard. Dalton was given the ball repeated ly and seldom failed to nip off a gain on his dashes through tackle, or end runs from fake kick formations. He got away twice for gains of 20 and 25 yards on the fake kick and on a like play Alverson, Rutgers husky left tackle, tore off a 30-yard gain in the second period and 50 yards in the last session. The lineup:
