Y,RANK MURREY's run of 81 yards
L Cor princeton's second touchdown
last the Navy in Palmer Stadium
csssnrJay was one of the greatest in
J,,iduol performances ever seen on n
sotball field. Because Don Lourie, the
,t .tSsr Tiger quarterback. had made, q
.nncbdown in the second period, TINS
..ore was not needed and consequently
cannot be said to have won the game:
pnt that does not detract in the least
t,om the wonderful sprint that began,
rnder the shadow of Princeton goal
rosts and ended when the speedy Zen
rssseean dived from the 5:.yard line over
tbe goal with Mckee at his heels.
CIoncipg over the list of great runs
.,,nnicled in football history, 1t will
~ noted that in the vast majority OF
v.,as the dashes were made either on
,aacovered fumbles, giving the runner a
sioor field before he started. or from
rn;nts on the gridiron where the run
nor had only few men to dodge be-
lore getting over the line.
All Navy in Front
Rut Murrey's run was different. He
hogan from a point ten yards behind
Ms line Of scrimmage with the ball on
Sis own o. yard line. Not just few
Ysvy IA men we're in front of him, but the
sntire eleven NIidshipmen had to be
rsckoned with before he could get
through.
Navy men out of the play BY clever
bo,inr and blocking, but as for real in
reference there was none. Murrey went
tbe whole distance by himself and by
his speedy, dodging, sidestepping and
straight arming eluded eight of the
| Nayy's would.be tacklers.
Murrey began by circling the Nays
| left end Carney was put out OF the play,
hut the middies' secondary defense
moved across, giving Murrey no chance
10 continue straight down the side lines.
He. therefore. elected to take diagonal
course which led him right through the
Nays backtield tacklers. 1t seemed
impossible that he could go over 10
Yards. but he did, by springing from
side to side as the Navy men dived at
him. He finally emerged into the open
with no one in front of him but Cruise.
All this time his direction had been nj
an angle of about forty five degrees with
the goal line. When he had reached this
point, however, he did column half right
and went straight toward the goal.
Cruise made n savage dive only tc
have Murrey bury his head in the turf
with Il perfect straight arm and side
step. Murrey then few over the chalk
marks with a clear field to the goal
Evidently he heard Mckee pounding
after him for ut the 5-yard mark h'
left his feet, diving the remaining dis
tancc and putting the ball few fee
over the line as he slid along.
Don LOurie Stars
Before he gave way to Murrey, Dor
IOurie played remarkable game ant
was given tremendous ovation as h,
walked down the track and out Of tht
stadium wrapped in his army blanket
Il was in the second period that Doi
pulled of series of sensational play!
that gave Princeton her first touch
down. Starting at the 25yard mark
Lourie shifted the Navy's left wing TO
20 yards. Then two fine forward passes
from I.Ourie to Davis took the ball t,
the 10 yard mark. From there Louri
made the touchdown, sprinting over {,
the side line and then going straight t.
the goal with the chalked boundar
