...lead. Black of the Newport team kicked off to E. L. Casey '19, who ran the ball back 20 yards. With a strong wind behind them, the Navy Yard started a kicking game, and Adams punted. Barrett, the Cornell star, returned the ball 37 yards from his 30-yard line, but the ball was soon lost when A. Horween '20 intercepted Gerrish's forward pass. Neither team could make decisive gains on line plays throughout the period. The value of Adams' long kicks with the wind, however, was largely nullified by Barrett's run backs...
...forwards from tackle to tackle on the two elevens are well balanced. Camp Devens' backfield, which included T. C. Thacher '18 and H. W. 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...
...backfields, however, that the most well-known players are. Coach Leary has in his hard-running combination T. H. Enwright '18, a star line plunger, E. L. Casey '19 and Cannell of Dartmouth, all elusive backs on end and off-tackle plays. The field generalship is in the hands of W. J. Murray '18. On the Rhode Island team there are Barrett of Cornell, star runner and kicker, Cerrish of Dartmouth, a hard line-plunging back, and Purdy, who played at Brown. Hite and Gardner from the Middle West are also strong players...
...stiff workout this week for tomorrow's game, as the close contest with the League Island Marines on Monday disclosed several weak points in the team. The Navy Yard displayed a fast attack in the middle of the field, but lost its power when near the Marine goal-line. Although T. H. Enwright '18, E. L. Casey '19 and Cannell of Dartmouth all made brilliant runs of from 25 to 40 yards through a broken field, cohesive line play was lacking...
Former University players figure prominently in both backfield and line of the Navy Yard team. T. H. Enwright '18 is the strongest runner, although on a dry field he is equalled by E. L. Casey '19. W. J. Murray '18 at quarterback is a capable field general...
