King Repeats. Again in the third period the Navy sent an S.O.S. to King and he repeat ed from the 35-yard line. The score did nt indicate the ex tent to which the Navy had the soldiers outclassed. The vaunted impregnable line of the Army was crushed to pieces before the eyes of Secretary Baker, Generals Pershing and March and oth er high ranking officers of the Army. Clark and Cruise, the two sterling Navy backs, had Secretary Daniels, Admiral Glennon, Admiral Sims and ;the navy notables on their feet time ' after time with brilliant runs and smashes through the West Point line. Responding to the yells of "fight like 'hell!" the Army took hold of itself wtihin its Inner sanctum and by grim, desperate fighting hurled back the Navy charges when a slip would have meant a touchdown.
