NAVY BEATS ARMY IN STIRRING BATTLE ontlnurd from flrst pugr. I rush was made for the Konl postn, and I over tbe bar popped flag and capa and anythtng throwabaa. Not satisfled with thla, the 5-tandard bearer planted tbe Navy flng in the middle of the gridiron with the mldahlpmen in a huge clrcle. Then. on a given signal.

they closed in, Phouting. cheenng. sinKinK And so another football vn tOTJ was relebrated. The crowd atayod to enjoy the revaL The cadets stood in their places and bore it with sueh dignity aa only a coldler can command. and then they Hhpped away not in the order of their romlng.

with a blare of martlal mUBK and pompany forn.atlon, but looselyand Btfantly. Brilhant Gathering at Game. Aithough rreablaat Taft wa? too buay al Washington to attend the game and Secretary of War Stimson is on his way bac from Panama, oftkial Washington was WOll represented. A list of the occupanta of the boxes looked like a combination army and naby register, Boclal ragtatef aad Congvaaalonal di rectory. Among those on the army side were AaeJetant Becretary of War CHiver, Major General Leonard Wood, chlef of staff of the army.

and Major (ienerai Thomaa H. Barry, commandei the Department of the East, while Fecretary of the Navy George von L. Meyer and Assistant Secretary Win throp occupied boxes on the nav. among others. This yearly struggle on the gridiron between the Army and the Navy elevens has ever been a picturesque apectacle, but rarely has it been so brllliant and inspiring as was the case to-day.

The field was banked on all four 6ides with a mass of color. The gray and black and gold of the Army on one side and the dark blue and gold of the Navy on the other were all per vading. but here and there were of red and purple and green to relleve the eye and add to the ef )ect. The day was cut to the exact mea3 ure of football. It fitted like the gown of a burlesque queen.

The wind car ried a twang that was not boisterous, while the sun was cheerful. The play ing field was soft and soggy, but other wise the conditions were perfect for players and onlookers. The late arrivals missed one of the most atriking features of the afternoon arrhal of the oppoomg force3. The midshipmen, eight hundred strong, marched on the field at 1 O'ClOCk with volors flying and band playing. There were two brigades of four com panies each, and the showing was ini presalve as the men lined Up forty abreast in iront of the north stand and then.

bn-aking into double tlme, found their places. The Cadets March In. The cadets from West Point followed on the beela of their rlvata, atx hun? dred strong. They about tbe field. want through a number of eimple nvolutions.

and then. coming to a balt in from of the south stand. stood there a moment before they found their seats ln double time as the band played a llvely jig. A year ago both forces were armed with megaphones, whlcb w-re far more effeetive for the purpose at hand than rifles or n.uskets. but this vear these noise intensitlers were left at home.

Earh mlclshipnian. however, carried a flag and they kept them wav ing every minute. The army mule. a quiet old fellow, who balked a bit and needed a lot of prodding to trot about the field, soon made his appearance. gally caparisoned ln a huge army blanket.

The nrddslnp men looked on silently for the only of a long two hours. thlnklng no doubt of "Billy," the goat and mas cot extraoidinary. who dled of colic two weeks ago. Bui a surprise was ln Htore. Before the mule had completed a elroult of the field a new goat ap neared, with long twistmg horns and Wliya blanket.

In fact. two goats were on hand. and the midshipmen cracked their volcea in giving welcome and wound up with ar. entlrely new Ohaaff of Just alx words. "Rah! Rah.

Rah! Goat! Goat! Goat:" Of courae, the Navy cheered the Army with caps off. and the Army cheered the Navy. also with bared heade, and before this was fairly over a roar broke out as the Navy squad ran on the field, and. formlng into three distinct elevens, went through a algnal and formation drill. The Army aquad followed, and soon the gridiron was allve with close to a hundred play pasaing the ball about, klcklng.

and runnlng here and there. It was a lively xcene. and thi? huge crowd enjoyed lt to tho full. Then the game began. Tha Elevena Well Matched.

To go back to football, It may be said that the two elevens were remarkably well matched, and vtctory rested with the Navy only because n.istakes by the cadeta were aicepted as glowing OPPOT by the midshipmen and tumed to their own uses with the he-lp of John Brown and his skill aa a place kicker The Army galned 116 yarda by atraight rushing for three flrat downs. to 101 yards and four first downs for the Navy. so that on these flgures there was littie to choose. The West Polnt team showed more consistent power on attack, with its one narcb for fifty-three yards, but this slight ndvantage was offaat by slightlv better punting on the part of the Navy backs the more consistent woik of the erids ln covering the bai 1 The tackling was hard and flerce on both aldes, and a blt rough at times, but the game waa remarkably free from Injurlea of any kind. while few aubstltutions were made.

There was Plenty of snap and daah. too, ln strik Ing eontrast to year iCA aad the battle waced up and down the field in a bitter and relentless way. John Brown was the outstanding st.ir tho Navy forces. not only on ao N-k. count of his goal kicking.

but because of hia range and work in the open. He was down the fleld wiih his ends on almost every punt, and tackled here. there and with deadly sureness. He was not ho good offensively In making openings for his bav ka, bat on the whole he played the kind of game which made him ao prominent two ago. Next to Browa, Gilchrist, at right end, was porhapa the most conspicuous.

was drawn in and boxed on two or three o.vasions, but as a rnle he was fault, diagnosing the plays keenly and tarkling wlth rare preclslon Oaptain Rodes ran his team with ex rellent judgment, whlle Leonard punted like a second Dalton. Captain Devore of the Army did BOl shine as he has in other years, al thongh every once in a while he showed flashes of that ahility which has rause.l liim to he ranked with the hest tackles of recent years. Keyes misscd his one opportnnity to kick a goa! from the Beld, but othcrwise played a atarllng game, although his puntlng was nol rjuile up to the standard. Benedlct waa a power in the secondary line of rlcfence. while Hobbs showed himself a hard rnnning hack and a good pUBter when upon to do the kicking.

Merrillat aad Markoe did not auffer mnch in comparison with their direjt opponents, whiie Purnell played a hard, conaletent game at centre, his passing being almost without a flaw. PICKED UP ON SIDE LINES Navy's Turkey Trot Yell Proves Innovation of Big Game. Tho "turkey trot" sont-yell- If OBI mlghl OOtn a name for it a decided innovation In the Navy list of cheers vesterday. It was so novel that the mov Ing plrt.ire men raced across the fleld to record it on thatr fllms. And whlle the band played, "We're Goln' to Wha, BTe'ra Qotn' to W'in, We're Goln' to Beat the Army," future admirals swayed from slde to slde to the music, waving tbelT I'ver-prescnt ycllow banm rs The musle and tlie motlon were caught up by the crowd and soon even the staid captalns in mufti were doin' it.

West Point came in for one of the bragha in the luck wiftd was somewhat ti-mpered to the bare hOBdad cadets, elsc there would be colds in the head aplenty at the Mllltary Academy to-moirow. As it was, they stood with their hats off durlng most of the cheering, wlth the wind hlowing down the backs of their necks. On the more sheltered side of the fleld the middiea wore their caps most of the time. It may be that the Sgcrctary of the Navy, von Meyer, will over look insubordination of his cadets. lncited by goals from the fleld and a vic tory.

Then, agaln, there may not he a punlshment in the code for hittltig a "top-side" offlclal with a lemon. When Brown klcked that flrst goal, leinona rained down upon the fleld, both out and lnslde the fence, and the "powers that be" had a busy few mlnutes dotlging the yaUaw frult. Those "powers" took the affalr in good part, however, and there BBsl any great danger of the ad.lutant readlng out "special orders" at the Naval Academy to-morrow. The Marine Band, that aceompamed the mlddles, was put to uttor rout by the talion of CBdeta from West Point eaily ln the afternoon. When they came on the fleld the cadets, in making a drlll ev.iu tion in company front, Bwung past the improviaed stand of the mualciana.

II was a case of every man for himself ae the Marlnea BOUrrled away to safety, carrylng their instruments far from the trampling feet of the oncoming "long line." The fond hopes of one girl and a mid shipman were rudoly shattered by the iron hand of disclpiine that obtalned ever at Kranklm Fleld. Her Beat waa beslde the rail tliat separated the cadets from the "eits," and he liad planned to sit be side her throughout the game. She stood up and naved to him beckoned, but a atern cadet ofllcer aent him to the othei side of the stand. He slghed and shook his head, whlle she atamped her foot and contided that "that man witr the buzzard" on his aleeve had Jusl spoiled the whole day for her. Whlle the cheering on the Army slde was all that it ahould be, it lacked the viKor of the Navy's yells.

The flnish ol these was more like the climax of a sel piece of fireworks than anythlng else lr the world. wlth the ahort, sharp, almosi sputtery, cheering, accompanled by the wlg-waggy waving of the yellow banners The speculators that went down tn trains trom New York to PhUadelphla lr the mornlng did not do a land ofllce busl ness ln disposing of their tickets for the game. They had plenty of pasteboard! and a sllding scale of prices that rangec from to $10, but there was llttle de? mand. They plled their trade ostenstbl) as sellers of banners knd buttons The PhUadelphla there were more than five hundred of the crowd in a way that left no room foi complatnt. But, then, the crowd was jusi blgc good natured multitude of thirt? thouaand-odd men and women.
