Quarterback Koehler.
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.
MeQuarrio Is Star.
The Navy lacked the punch to pene
trate the Army line when a gain meant
a touchdown and had It not been for
the toe of the Idaho middle, King,
honors would have been even. ,
McQuarrie, the big fulljaek of thu
Army, waa the shining light of the sol

fensive factor which pulled the Army
out of frequent holes. Twice, standing
behind his own goal line, he was hur
ried to get a kick away when the Navy
forwards broke through and he suc
ceeded both times and booted the wet,
slippery ball for 45 yards.
From a technical standpoint the

That the three men are the trio of

several days, the police are confident.
The robberies commenced about 10
