West Point, N. Y., October 16 Army's aerial attack clicked to perfection this afternoon in the final hard scrimmage for the cadets before the Harvard game. Playing against a scrub team augmented by first string substitutes, Coach "Biff" Jones' charges galloped down the field at will...
Chris Cagle again was the pivot man in the pass attack. He sent two screaming passes to Messenger and Carlmark for 25 and 30 yards respectively. These coupled with Murrell's line plunges netted a score for the first team. The scrubs combined lateral passes with trick plays later on to make a touchdown of their...

The backfields, which have been working under the experienced eye of Coach Casey, functioned in good early season order. The timing was off, on occasion, as was shown by the narrow failure of several of the forward passes...
