With the breaks coming its way and with its star back, Slagle, matching Shapley, speedy Annapolis eleven. It was only by a desperate rally that the Navy managed to tie the Tigers, the touchdown that knotted the count coming in the final period.
Ewing Princeton's midget quarterback, booted a dropkick from the 46 yard line for Princeton's opening score. The ball struck the cross-bar and bounced over. Now a fast attack by the Navy backs led up to a field goal which tied the score before the first period ended.
Caulkins Intercepts Navy Pass
In the second period the Annapolis eleven appeared far stronger than Princeton, yet the New Jersey team was the one to score. After the Navy had marched down the field with surprising case. Princeton's big piece of fortune came in the shape of a misdirected forward pass. Standing on his 2-yard line. Caulkins, who had replaced Ewing, snatched the Navy toss and sprinted 95 yards before he was downed from behind. Bridges, husky Sophomore fullback, pounded over for a touchdown.
The Navy tied the score when Shapley caught a forward pass early in the last period and ran 35 yards for a tally, Shapley also kicking the goal.
Coach Roper again kept some of his regulars on the sidelines at the opening of the game, and the brilliant Slagle did not enter the contest till the Tigers were in the lead, 3 to 0. Last year Princeton defeated the Navy, 17 to 14, but this year's Annapolis team is heralded as the strongest team that has represented the bluejackets in several seasons.
Dartmouth 56, Maine 0
With Oberlander, last year a star in the Harvard-Dartmouth battle in the stadium, and Lane, whose playing featured the Freshman hockey team from Hanover last winter, doing the bulk of the carrying, the Indians won their fourth easy game Saturday. The big Green team will invade Cambridge next Saturday without having met a single opponent that has given it any kind of opposition.
The University of Maine eleven was powerless before the Dartmouth onslaught, but on the offense it had better success. Maine sandwiched four first downs of its own between the avalanche of Dartmouth touchdowns that crossed its goal line.
Coach Hawley kept several of his regulars on the sidelines, and uncovered a good quarterback prospect in Marshall, who played in McPhall's position the entire game.
Dartmouth's serial attack was very effective, although it was not started until late in the game. Six passes succeeded out of eight thrown.
Brown 48, Bates 0
Reviving from the blow dealt by Pennsylvania on October 10, the Brown eleven ran roughshod ever its second opponent from the Pine Tree State. Earlier in the season Colby was trampled under foot in the new Brown stadium, 33 to 0.
From a Brown standpoint the best feature of the game was the work of Jones, the new fullback. His linebucking ability was noticeable, and he shared the limelight with Dixon and Keefer, the brilliant Bruin halfbacks. Mishel kicked six goals after touchdown out of seven chances.
