and led by their scintillating star,
Chris Flanagan, swept Navy to a
- to 6 defeat Saturday in one of
the seasons outstanding intersec-
tional clashes. Notre Dame, with
Flanagan providing the pressure,
scored twice in the third period and
once in the fourt', after NAVY made
its only score in the first quarter.
Sub Gets Counter
Navy, taking full advantage OF
the "breaks" of the game, crushed
over touchdown in the first five
minutes of play. Taking the ball
after an exchange of punts on the
so yard line, the Middies pushed to
midfield. Hannegan, flashy Navy
quarter, lodged through left tackle
for Is yards, and Bauer, in a single
smash, punched through to Notre
Danes five yard line. After Rams
ford thrice failed to break through
center, Spring, substitute halfback,
raced around Notre Danes left end
for the score. The try for point aft
er touchdown failed.
The sudden Navy assault brought
the "shock troops" Of the Rockne-
men back to the bench and the No
tire Dame veterans took up the task
Of overhauling the powerful MILDLY
crew. Wayne went in at fullback
and Riley at quarter, and Dahman
at left half. Niemic completed the
quartet. The line also underwent
several changes.
The smashing drive Of Rockne's
regulars carried relentlessly through
the Navy forward line and through
the air from nidfield to the MILDLY
'25 yard line before Bauer intercept
ed a Notre Dame pass.
When Navy tossed Lloyd, 200
pound backfield ace, into the fray to
start the second period, Notre Dame
sent Christy Flanagan, shining light
Of the Hoosier offense, to oppose
him. Flanagan opened up with q
15-yard toss to Walsh, that made q
first down on his own 4O-yard line.
Three times Christy thrust at the
Navy forwards and made another
first down.
Get to 20 Yard Line
After tossing three successive for
ward passes to his ends, Flanagan
finally was stopped on the Sailors
24-yard mark. Nays punt to mid
field checked the Rocknemen a mo-
ment, then Flanagan slipped through
tackle for Is and with Wynne, reach
ed the Middies' 20-yard strip for
Nptre Danes fourth straight first
down of the period.
The sturdy defense Of the Mid
dies again prevailed and Notre Dame
was forced to yield the ball on the
Navy 2O-yard line. Lloyd kicked to
Notre Dame at midfield just as the
half ended. Flanagan thrice failed
to complete forward passes that
would have carried over the Navy
goal line.
Notre Dame tied the score short
~ after the third period opened
when Walsh, right end, scooped up
blocked punt and raced AZ yards
over the Navy goal line. The at
tempt at drop kick for point after
touchdown failed.
The score came after a punting
duel in which Lloyd slowly gained
yardage with long hoists. The No
ire Dame forwards, breaking
through steadily, finally caught the
MILDLY star before he could get his
loft away, Flanagan taking the next
kickoff on his own 32-yard line,
raced almost through the Navy de-
Tense to the MILDLY IS yard strip
before being downed.
Riley Gets Score
Flashing around the Navy left
end behind marvellous interference
Flanagan raced clear to the MILDLY
1O-yard line on the next play. One
more smash carried the Notre Dame
meteor to the five yard mark and
while the Navy raced for the flashy
back, Riley lodged around right end
for the second Hoosier score. Again
the try for goal failed.
Taking the ball from Navy or
downs at the Blue 45-yard line, No.
ire Dame smashed to another score
on series Of lire smashes aided by
a 15-yard pass from Niemic &
Walsh that brought the ball Il
Navy's 12-yard mark.
Niemic then damned through thu
Navy left tackle for the touchdown
on three successive plays and raj
the Notre Dame total to 10 by drol
kicking the point after touchdown
The teams battled on even term,
during the remainder Of the period
Navy failing to penetrate the Notr,
Dame defense but once, with q flocl
of passes, while the westerners
crushing line attack lost momentum
through the appearance Of man,
subs. One wild Navy toss Of a
yards brought the ball to Notr
j Danes 36-yard line at the close 0
play.
