Bird and M. C. Peirce at end did fairly well in getting down under punts, but on the defense Peirce was very weak, the Navy backs circling his end frequently for substantial gains. Butt, who played halfback for the first time, fumbled a good deal, and Cutting, who was put in his place, proved much steadier. None of the backs were able to gain around the Annapolis' ends, Dague and De Mott, who are remarkably good men.

Cobb at quarterback, and Brown and Cummings, ends, proved very clever at the new game last year and repeatedly outplayed the Harvard forwards with their double...
