Notre Dame and the Army derived almost equal satisfaction on the West Point Plains last Saturday. Although Notre Dame carried the ball back West with them, earned by a score of 27-7, the Army ascertained beyond a doubt that they have a team which is fully capable of taking care of itself in the Navy game, a fact that heretofore was decidedly worrying Coaches Graves and Daly...
While the first string men were busy running through signals, team "B" staged a vigorous scrimmage against Dr. Bull's second eleven. In this game, team "B" demonstrated its general superiority by taking the ball down the field two times in succession to their opponents 10-yard line. However, the coaches decided not to let them score, and gave the ball to the second team in the middle of the field. Nevertheless, the scrubs were unable to gain through the line of their heavier opponents. Knapp at halfback and Sturm at fullback were the individual stars of team...
...forward pass from Johnson to Chapin which went for a thirty yard gain and the single touchdown of the game, were they able to score. For nearly fifteen minutes the play raged back and forth, for a while in favor of the second team, and then after losing the ball on downs, turning to the advantage of team "B".

Moreover, in defence and offence, the star fullback showed a natural football instinct, sensing plays...
...with astonishing accuracy at the strategic parts of the field. It was his kicking, in fact that led to 1924's other scores. For in the second period, he kicked over Andover's goal line, and the Academy failed to take advantage of their twenty yard gift, losing, the ball on their 35-yard line. From here, the Yearling backs staged another goal ward march, Jenkins carrying the ball across from the two-yard line...
