...single point of a goal from touchdown determined the service championship game in the Stadium Saturday, the Newport Naval Reserves defeating the Boston Navy Yard 7 to 6. The teams were as evenly matched as the score indicates, and but for the failure of W. J. Murray '18 to kick a goal from touchdown from a difficult angle against a stiff wind, a tie score would have resulted. In spite of the severity of the weather, a crowd of 7,500 witnessed the game...
...periods Coach Leary's team outplayed the Reservists and ended the half with a six-point lead. Black of the Newport team kicked off to E. L. Casey '19, who ran the ball back 20 yards.

Minot '17 from the University could make no gains through the middle of the Newport line, while against the all-star collegians at Beverly and in the game with the Philadelphia Marines the defensive work of the Navy Yard linemen figured prominently. A. Horween '20 at centre on the Charlestown team will have a hard, fast playing opponent in Callaban, formerly of Yale. Black, 1916 Yale captain, and Grotemat compose the Naval Reserve guard combination, and they will...
