and saw them defeat lehigh in great style by the large score of 15 to o the middies are much stronger than last year anc during the first half had lehigh completely at their mercy al though lehigh outweighed her opponents the cadets made steady gains through lehigh's line and around her ends in the first hali the middies clearly outplayed the boys from bethlehem but as usual the latter did not wake up until the second half and not until then did they prove they knew even the ele mentary game mccormick's kick ing and line plunging was very poor with the best opportunities he could only kick 15 yards this together with the injuries received by the different men was responsi ble for the poor showing lehigh entirely failed to make any consid erable gains from the scrimmage and held for four downs only once during the game some changes were made in the annapolis line-up adams taking rogers's place at tackle and bouff replacing adams at center this change was a big improvement as adams
