On the third try, he | dived high over his left guard and the | touchdown was made. Army Makes Scoring Bids. Tflus. with one sharp scoring thrust, | tne Middies accomplished what the golden-helmeted Cadets had threatened to do for three previous periods and what, for a time, appeared inevitable. Late tonight the Associated Press reported the Philadelphia Inquirer quoted Field Judge Miller: | “Sullivan was the man and he ‘rode’ Antrim for at least 3 yards. “Antrim and Sullivan were after the | pass, with Antrim in perfect position to catch it, his back to Sullivan, when the latter rushed up from the rear, rode Antrim as a youngster rides his | father's shoulders in the game of | ‘piggy-back’ and prevented him from | catching the ball,” the paper quoted | Miller, i “It was a foul and there was noth- | ing else to do but award the ball | to Navy at that spot.” Midway the first period Army staged the first of its several threats when, on three ground plays, Craig, Jack Ryan and Sullivan moved the from their own 20-yard line to Na 13. Three brilliant runs were these, but ouce within the shadow of the Middy goal the Army found the Navy defense impregnable. The Cadets failed to gain an inch from the 13 and finally, on fourth down, Craig attempted a long pass to Maurice Preston in the end zone. Schmidt and Ingram knocked it down. Little Monk Meyer, the best back on the field this afternoon, entered | the game for Army when the second | period opened, and engineered two drives that were stopped virtually on the Navy goal. He etarted the first march by running back a long punt by Schmidt 30 yards. This put the ball on the Navy 40. Then he passed to Sullivan and the oval was on the | 26. Sliding off tackle, Meyer broke loose for 13 more yards, Navy’s Prank Case stopping him on the Middy's 13. Ryan, in Clear, Steps Outside. (CRAIG hit the line for a yard and Meyer, carrying it the next two , made 4 more yards. On fourth down Monk missed making the need- ed distance by inches and Navy took | the ball on downs on its 8-yard line. | Schmidt kicked, sending the ball out- | side on his own 35. | Back again surged the gray horde. Meyer again slid off tackle to break | away for a 22-yard jaunt and a first | down on the Navy 13 once more. | ‘This threat finally ended as did the | other. Navy took the ball on downs | on its 7-yard line and this time Schmidt delivered a terrific punt from behind his own goal, the ball travel- ing over Meyer's head to Army’s 22.| A third time in this period did the | Army make a gesture, and had the gridiron been a foot wider the | Cadets might have scored on a bril- liant pass by Meyer and a run by Ryan. After taking Schmidt’s punt on his 22 and failing to gain on two tries at Navy’s line, Meyer flipped Ryan a short pass out of kick forma- tion and the receiver, behind great interference, raced 41 yards down the side lines to Navy’s 35. He had a clear fleld at his stopping point, but one of his feet landed outside of the side line and he was called back. Tars Become Aggressive. NAVY was more aggressive in the second half. Shortly after the resumption of play, Antrim recovered 8 fumble by Ryan on Army's 19, but three line plays lost yardage and Ingram’'s pass on fourth down was blocked by Preston. Shortly thereafter both elevens were to get breaks. Left Guard Ray Du- bois recovered a fumble by Sullivan on Army's 48 and Navy marched and passed to the enemy 26 before the Cadets stopped the drive and took the bell on downs. A few minutes later Schwenk recovered a fumble by SBchmidt on Navy’s 25 and, Wwith Meyer leading the attack, Army reached the 10, but again fumbled, and Rivers Morrell recovered for Navy to punt to safety. An injury to Meyer a few minutes after the final period started seemed the break needed to allow Navy to assert itself on the winning march. | ‘With the ball on Navy's 48, Monk was hurt while skirting end and Craig re- placed him.

Bill Ingram, member of & family long illustrious in Navy foot ball tradition, who with Schmidt led Navy’s bid all afternoon and kicked the extra point after touchdown, pulled Schmidt away from his mates and tugged him to the pho- tographers, “Come on boy,” he yelled, you're the man of the moment.” Midshipman Rivers J.

THENS, Ga., Georgia's foot ball team. hope- less in October, capped its comeback march and ended its season today by cracking Georgia Tech, 16-6, before 23,000 excited fans. The alert Bulldogs cashed in on two breaks to ring up a safety and a touchdown in the first three periods, and then clicked cleanly in a fourth- period drive of 55 yards to sew it up with another touchdown. Only in the third period did Tech hit a sustained scoring gait, when it marched 44 yards on 11 plays for a touchdown. The ground-gaining figures showed the bitter State rivals well matched in their offenses. Georgia rushed the bail for a net of 120 yards, to 118 for the Yellow Jackets.

By the Associated Press, ATON ROUGE, La., November B 28 —Louisiana State University retained its Southeastern title for another year and bolstered its Rose Bowl bid today by stampeding through Tulane, its old foot ball foe, 33 to 0, before a crowd of 48,000 that smashed the Southern grid attendancs record. It had set itself the task of running up a score in line with the 34-7 count Alabama, its rival for Rose Bowl honors, ran up on Tulane, and neatlv called the shot, scoring on speed and pass plays. The former Southern attendance record was 46,880 at the 1935 Duke- N. C. game.
