Polo Grounds, New York, Nov. 24 Navy football coaches decided early in the wt'trk not to start Steve Barchet, ilimlnutlve Annapolis fullback, in today's annual Army-Navy struggle at the Polo Grounds, and when the Middles took the fiVld the familiar figure of "the little Maryland are was not to be Rppn among the quartet behind the line. Shapley had taken Bardlet's place and Maryland was represented at the beginning only by Bill Wood, Army's kicker and defensive star de luxe and dependable line smasher. Hut Baltimore and Maryland fans who had learned to look upon Steve as star of the first water, a gridder in whom about half of tha Navy's rushing strength was centered, did not have to wait long. rtnrchet Qvtn In Game.

A break eorrfhg just at the close of the first ped--had placed Navy in the first mei'cing position that the bitterly contested struggle produced, and to thg who have seen Barchet on one lifhls gofd day who remembered his masterful and thrilling exploits against the Army in 1021 on this same gridiron nothing could have been more ex-pTted than that which actually transpired at this critical moment Barchet tearing out from the Navy bench, hand upraised to attract the attention of the referee, rendy to take Ma place in the luck field. Steve, however, was not destined to become the hero of a Navy victory over ii confident Army team, although later in the game he was to have his chance, tlirt twice with fickle' fortune, only to meet with a rebuff each time. Steve Get Chance. When opportunity knocked at Steve's door about the middle of the third period he was not sleeping at the switch, lie promptly seized and made the most of a Klip that came within an ace of sending the powerful and favored Cadet eleven back to the Toint in defeat. That he failed was no fault of his.

An uncertain footing in the boggy turf, together with a memorable and desperate spring on the part of a Cadet gridder nearest when the crash came, thwarted the purpose of the valiant little Mary-lander. An exchange of kicks toward the middle of the third period had finally given Army possession of the ball on its own 4tS-yarn line. Here Quarterback Smythe, of the Cadet eleven, decided to call upon the welt-known plunging ability of Bill Wood to effect a llrst down and a saunter Into Navy territory. Wood responded nobly, and in two plays off tackle gained 10 yards, putting the ball on Navy's 45-vard line. On the next play an Army hack fell back about seven yards and shot a pass over toward the Army side line, toward which boundary the Cadet left end was scurrying with all the speed his driving legs could muster in the muddy soil.

Bnt there was another individual huTrying toward the same spot, and that individual was Steve Barchet. Intercept The Plflraktn.

The ball arrived nt the same moment, plunked into the nrras of the Middy, who had Just torn so desperately across the field and the next instant was safely tucked tinder the arms of the latter, who started legging it for the Army goal-line 70 yards away. One white line after another passed beneath the flying feet of Steve Barchet, who had raced past tne original line of scrimmage before the stupefied Army linemen realized what was' going on.

Thousands rose to their feet, half of them shrieking encouragement to the flying runner, the other half silent and hoping against hope. But two Cadet gridders, one of them Smythe, the fastest man on the Army team, now were1 splashing desperately after the flying Middy. Smythe had crept up to within two yards of Steve and the next instant had dived and brought tho little Annapolitan to earth on the Army's 23-yard line.

Barchet had not made his touchdown, but three plays later he again had his chance to win the game, when he was chosen to try for the field goal, which if it had boon good would have enabled the pupils of Bob Folwell to return to Annapolis with victory over Army and an edge on the which still stands at a deadlock ns a result of this afternoon's no-decision encounter.

Johns Hopkins football eleven smothered the George Washington University team under a 62-to-5 score at Home-wood Field yesterday afternoon before a small crowd of chilled spectators. The Blue Jays unleashed a terrific attack and carried the invaders off their feet, scoring in the first three minutes of play. Ptak kicked to Turnbull, who immediately returned the kick. Rich gobbled up the ball as Laux fumbled on his own 14-yard line. Maxwell was held at the line, and then Captain Bonner slid around end for the first tally.

Turn-bull booted over the extra point from placement. Immediately after the next kick-off Bonner pulled down a forward from Taylor and sped across the line, but was called back, both teams being off-side. Turnbull stepped back to the 33-yard line and sent a neat field goal sailing between the uprights. Score Hopkins, 10: Washington, 0. Rich Sprints And Scores.

Before the Washington outfit could recover from the shock Rich broke through and blocked a punt. Scooping the leather into his arms, he raced 22 yards for another touchdown. Turn-bull again added the extra point. Doug Turnbull was used as the battering ram in the next offensive, and after a steady march up the field he plowed over the last chalk mark for the third touchdown of the quarter. Ptak and Sawyer broke through and hurried the try for point, which failed as Turnbull fumbled.

The George Washington eleven appeared helpless before the smashing attack of the Black and Blue contingent. Maxwell cut through tackle for the goal that put the score at 29 to 0, as Turnbull missed the try for point. Laux broke away for a 40-yard run down the side lines just as the whistle closed the first quarter. Score: Hopkins, 29 George Washington, 0. Henderson Pnts One Over.

Once within sight of the goal line, the Washington gridders seemed to take on new life. A short forward, Henderson to McLeal, netted the invaders eight yards. Two short passes went wild and then Henderson stabbed the Hopkins line, tearing through tackle for the visitors' only score from the 22-yard mark. Ptak failed at the kick. Score Hopkins, 29 George Washington, 6.

Coach Van Orman's warriors returned to the old style of play and soon registered again. Bonner, Turnbull, Maxwell and Taylor each took a crack at the Washington line, making two first downs in rapid succession. Bonner tucked the leather in his arm and plunged over the goal line, carrying four of the Georgies him. Turnbull boosted the score by a single point with a pretty placement kick. Score: Hopkins, 36; George Washington, 6.

The Washington team took advantage-of Van Orman's shift in the line and battled their way to Hopkins' 18-yard mark. A series of short forwards netted a small gain, and the Blue Jays held for downs. Turnbull punted out of danger, and the visitors started a shortlived rally as the whistle ended the first half. Score: Hopkins, 3G; George Washington, 6. Henderson Blocks Pass.

Hopkins gained possession of the ball on their own 39-yard line after an exchange of punts. Henderson intercepted a forward from Taylor, who was back in the game. A short forward, Henderson to Sawyer, netted a gain of 25 yards, but this was the end of their offensive, Hopkins taking the ball on downs on their own 28-yard mark. Maxwell Goes Over.

Taylor missed the try for point. Score, Hopkins, 42; George Washington, 6. Magill scooped up the leather as La Mar fumbled on the. kick-off and raced to within 10 yards of the goal line. Taylor covered the five yards to the line and then completed this work with a neat dropkick for the extra point.

Score, Hopkins, 49 George Washington, 0. Van Orman's recruits were rushing to the fray and they pushed aside all defense as they marched to the 12-yard line. Taylor to Bonner quickly ate up the distance and the little left halfback stepped over the final chalk mark for another touchdown. Taylor booted the extra point in clean style. Score, Hopkins, 56; George Washington, 6.

The Cadets tried a bomb, but still the wood and canvas craft remained intact although its funnel had gone by the board.

See-Saw Game. After Garbish's kick-off in the first quarter McKee, the Navy quarter, dashed back 33 yards before he was thrown. It was the longest run of the game. Cullen went through left tackle for eight yards and Shapley made it 10 more through the other wing. The Navy stand was in a riot.

But off-side play brought the ball back. Cullen made five yards, but Shapley could not gain and Cullen punted. The Army could not gain and Wood kicked. It was a seesaw game. Just before the quarter ended Cullen caught the ball on the arch of his foot, instead of with his toe, and it went into the air to the Army on the Navy's 40-yard line.

The Army was 6topped in its tracks and Navy attempted a shore march, but Farwick broke through twice and with his tackling ended it. Army Drive Falls. In the second quarter Army tried to tear the Navy to pieces, but failed. Cullen, of the Navy, kicked 40 yards and the ball rolled inside Army's five-yard line before being pounced upon. Wood quickly booted the ball back into more neutral territory.

The playing then for a time was around midfield. The Navy kick-off at the start of the third quarter was low and the ball went straight into the arms of an Army man 20 yards away. Navy intercepted a forward pass that resulted in a gain of 25 yards. Then Cnllen tried a placement kick, but the ball drove to one side. Jfavy Fonts Blocked.

At the beginning of the last quarter a Navy punt was blocked, bnt recovered. The Middies could not gain through the Army line or around it. Another of Cullen's punts was blocked, thl3 time Farwick hurling his bulk in front of the ball. A Navy man fell on the pigskin, however, Cullen finally punted clearly. One Cadet led and another pushed the Army mule around in back of the Navy goal posts in the late moments, imploring the Army to "come get it." The Army tried another forward pass that was fumbled, but recovered by a Cadet, who started along side line to the Navy's goal with a clear field ahead.

There was off-side play and the ball was ordered back. Army kicked and so did the Navy. Lots of others who had sat in the rain kicked also because the game had gone for naught, or double 0.

Br FRANCIS Annapolis, Nov. 24. Today's Army and Navy football classic in New York, ordinarily marking the close of the gridiron season for the rival service teams, will mean no relaxation for the midshipmen, at least for the next four weeks, owing to the fact that the team will continue training for their journey to the Pacific Coast to meet the championship team of that section. And the situation is also going to mean a rather serious handicap to the squads about to begin preparations for the program of winter indoor athletics affecting basketball, boxing and wrestling in particular. The Western game is to be the big feature of the annual carnival of roses, and one of the prime reasons that moved Rear-Admiral Henry B.

Wilson, superintendent, to accept the invitation of the association promoting the pageant was that it would afford naval people on the Pacific Coast now that a large part of the big fleet is out there an opportunity to eee the Navy team in EASTERN SHOREMEN DEFEAT ST. JOHN'S Field Coal From 55-Yard Line Gives Washington College Victory. Annapolis, Nov. 24. Three points, the result of a 55-yard dropkick by Cavanaugh, "Washington College quarterback, furnished the only score in the contest with St.

John's College here today, and the Cadets went down before another of their Maryland rivals. The kick came in the final period. The Eastern Shore aggregation, unable to make substantial headway by plays directed at St. John's line or around the flanks, decided, when the game was drawing to a close, to take a long chance of bringing about a score. Cavanaugh kicked and the caught in a strong wind blowing directly at the backs of the Chestertown lads, sailed between the uprights and over the bar.

Wagner Unable To Play. The Cadets were unable overcome this three-point margin. Neither Dar-ley nor Cain, who were, in the St. John's line-up, was in the best of condition. Heine "Wagner, another back-field man, was out of the game because of scholastic difficulties.

Presenting a line that resembled the rock of Gibraltar, Western Maryland invaded this city today and took the measnre of Shorty O'Brien's Drexel clan in a stubborn-fought contest, with the final tabulation reading 14 to 0.

The visiting eleven plajed dazzling football and the outcome of the struggle was never in doubt, after the first period, when the Southerners crossed the Blue and Gold's goal line for the first score of the game. Drexel, although defeated, put up a lucky but losing battle, as the Western laryland combination outplayed, out-gamed and deserved victory in every department. Coach Shroyer's proteges displayed an aerial attack that fairly stunned thfe home eleven and which played a leading role in the triumph of the boys from below he Mason-Dixon line. 1 DrwxeJ.

And there is a monetary consideration involved also, for the Navy Athletic Association will receive a proportion of the receipts from the game, enough perhaps to cover the expenses of the trip, which will be heavy, and maybe a little more to go into the association's treasury. And in passing it might be added that Naval Academy athletics have taken such a wide range in the last few years that, the annual dues of members Of the association, coupled with the midshipmen's contributions, are insufficient to take care of expenses. Authorities now are seriously considering the proposition of- charging an admission to athletic contests on the Government reservation here, principally football.
