constant threats fell short of the goal. The Middies were never able to overcome the adratilnge of a lone touchdown scored by Weston in the first quarter, and the New Kngland- era departed for home tonight, with a ti-lo-0 victory. The defeat, was the second in a many Saturdays for Hie Navy, but to- Iny the Middies were a far hotter team limn last week. Jt wns not. a poor Navy team, but a very capable Boston College eleven.

Kvety tlironl. which tho Navy had counted on to carry It lliroiigh to victory was slopped by the I'jiglos, while they themselves bat tered nnd ploughed through for gain nfter gain. Wnlnn In Spotlight Weston, plunging, hard-running pinrterhack, was the leading; light of the afternoon, but wns closely seconder! by Jack Castree, Navy second-stringer, who, in the third period, ripped and plunged thrcugh the Boston line time and again. He was the main cog in an offense which mnde the leoond stringers look better than the Middy regulars. Weston just didn't know when to stop running when-he -had the hall tucked under his arm, and the Navy tncklera looked foolish trying to stop him.

Time after time ho was hit by four or five different, men before ho was finally brought, to earth, and nhen lie did come down it: wns generally some 10 lo -') yards from where the first Navy -tackier hit. him. Lloyd, rated hy Navy followers as Ihe nee of tho hnckflcld, was hailed and not once during the afternoon did he get a way for anything which resembled good gain. Only in the final period, when a Boston tenm which wns almost too tired to stand was seeking to halt: (lie first-string Navy-hacks who hail been put back in the gnme, tlid Lloyd look anything like a great player. Tn-n Hnsy Period It, was in the first and third quar ters that the drama of the gamn came.

In the first period Boston started like a house afire and kept it up with but temporary halt. The drive was cli maxed when Weston broke through right tackle for 30 yards and the only touchdown of the gnme. His attempt for the ertra point by dropkick hit one of the goal posts and dropped out side. When the teams enms hack on the field at the start ot the third period, Ingram had sent in his second tenm. It was then that, the Navy deemed to take on new life.

Castree, halfback, was thrown agnint the Boston line anil almost, single-handed took tho ball from his own 20-yard lino to the 1-yard line, where Kohlhns failed to make it. first down. Dixon kicked out of danger from behind bis own goal line, and again C'astren took up the march. Twelve times in an even 15 plays in Ihe first drive, Castree had carried the hall. At the beginning of the fourth per iod, Ingram sent his first string back into the game.

With six new men in the line nnd four "tirst-st ring" men in the Inn kflelii, driven were again started. Hut they always fell short. The Bos-loninns, almost too tired to stand from the ronstnut. haltering of thn second string in that third period, always rose to the occasion and slaved off defent. On the next to the last play of the game, Murphy leaped high into the air to intercept Lloyd's pass from, the 10-yard line.

One more buck at the line by the tired Weston and the game was over. Bnrke Gmi Well If there is anything to console Navy in the defeat today, it is the showing of Kddie Burke, captain and guard of the Nnw team, and the work of Castree. Burke, who put up a miserable exhibition against Davis-Elkins, today was the biggest part of the line. He was the only man on the field, who seemed capable of stopping Weston, nnd several times he broke through throw that hard running back for a loss. On the offense, it was mostly through the hole which be ploughed in the enemy forward wall that the Navy backs gained.

Mi-tiuiik, Boston tackle, matched Burke's play. He was probably the hest defensive man on the field, and lime after time rose to halt the threat-' ening advance of the Middies. Navy today wasn't as slovenly as against Davis-Klkins lnvt week. It was just np against better tram. The first team, which played the first and on which Boston College scored, wes having trouble with its attack all the way through.

It was using a kick formation and the lina was not holding baci the fast-knifing Boston forwards, who threw the Navjt barks for loss after loss. Only Eddie Burke of the Navy licl was up to form, and it was worU .1 Art 31 holes his contest with HOPKINS WINS OPENING GAME Defeats Richmond, 14 To 13, As Work Of Lyons Features Hopkins exhibited enough alertness, speed and versatility to slightly overbalance the sheer driving power of a good Richmond team at Homewood yesterday in tho opening game of the Blue Jays' schedule, 14 to 13. The contest, contained enough spectacular elements to please the most exacting fans of the 5,000 who witnessed it. The outstanding play of the afternoon wns contributed by the losing side when Nevitt Stanford, quarterback, broke loose for an 811-yard run on an off-tackle piny to score tho second touchdown made by Richmond. Lvoni Prove Sfnr Bobby Lyons, aided chiefly by Howard Cuplnn, wns mainly responsible for the Blue victory.

The Hopkins' quarterback kicked in his usual form, which ranks with the best, threw passes unerringly and intercepted one which slopped the inst desperate drive of an aroused and victor.v-Bceiil.ing Richmond ten in, Caplnn was. dependable In short, choppy nt the line anil helped lo plug holes in the Hopkins forward wall with enough success to turn back the invaders. Hopkins was tried on bolli attack and defense, and in each department exhibited early-season ability lo insure capable team nt Homewood, it injuries do not call for too many replace ments. The line needs bolstering on defense, and the ends are somewhat, slow to cover punts, but otherwise the team is fully up to expectations. Visitor Minns Leader Richmond played without its captain and best tackle, T.

Sanford, able to take part. He was injured in the open ing game with V. M. and was not even in uniform yesterday. Anderson, the other regular tackle, did not start.

but broke into the game in the second half. At the very outset Richmond tested Hopkins' defense severely. The Blue Jay received the kick-off and Lyons ran it back from the 15 to the mark.

In a football game that thrilled from start to finish here day the University of North Carolina defeated the Uni versity of Maryland, 26 to 19. It was the nint annual meeting of the Tar heels and Old Liners and the victory gave the invaders the rubber, each hav ing previously won four times.

While Carolina won Vv seven points, it really was two markers that were awarded the Tarheels after touchdowns, official ruling that Maryland was offside on a pair of occasions that decided the issue.

Carolina started like it was goin to mop up the Did Liners, scoring early in the encounter, a drive of fill yards, with a couple of long passe? mixed in with a run by Ward, en abling the latter to count.

An offside penalty gave the extra point. Maryland came right back with a f0-yard march to deadlock the issue. A feature of this dash was a pass from Kesler to Dodson that, with the latter, netted 39 yards and the score.

Oct, 6 (PV Bursting of aeria) bombs and the noise of a riotous welcome broke the anxious calm of St. Louis baseball fans as they received their Cardinals, who came home today from a pennant conquest and two losing engagements in the buttle for the world championship. Far from being a dolorous occasion, after two defeats from the Yankees, the milling crowds about the Lnion Station gave proof with their shouts that St. Louis fandom was backing! its team. As the Itedbird warriors were conducted to gaily decorated open automobiles to the accompaniment of two brass bands and cheering, appreciative grins spread over their countenances.

As the motor cavalcade moved out Twentieth street to Washington avenue, the cheers broke out afresh from either side of the narrow lanes cut by a squadron of motor-cycle police. The automobiles, beplumed and festooned with colored crepe, carried large pennants which bore the names of the occupants of the cars. Showered with Pmprr Windows in the towering office build ings were crowded with people who released showers of paper on the Cardinals and the thousands on the sidewalks.
