iron classic which climaxed a sea
son OF upsets by running strictly
to form, 10 TO 3.
The better team won, but not de
cisively enough to indicate the full
power OF a versatile and deliberate
West Point offensive which left little
doubt of the result after the open

the savage plunges of two human
catapuits, Wilson and Hewitt. and
baffled by opportune overhead thrusts
which fell from a cloudless sky, the
stout hearted Midshipmen were al
most constantly fighting desperately
to stay Army advances deep into
Navy territory.
A gathering of 10000 saw the
struggle.
Army Waivers Twice.
Armys cool. methodical offensive
and a rock ribbed defense by the
Cadets, which wavered only once,
limited the game to few big thrills.
A sensational run of AZ yards by
Harry Wilson, former Penn State star,
in the opening period and a surprise
dash of slightly more than 20 yards
at the start OF the third quarter by
Banks were outstanding individual
performances.
Acceptance of their only good scor-

Wilson, Army's backfeld ace, was
the defensive giant of the contest

successfully to penetrate the Cadet s
