IRISH PACK PUNCH
IN SECOND PERIOD
RambIers Gain 281 Yards
Rushing-Tars Fail to
Get a First Down.
BY BEN REFER,

X timore, Md, November IA
L. The Nays foot ball ship,
tossed about uncertainty in
its campaign so far this season,
ran afoul the Notre Dame hurri-
cane here today and fioundered
on the rocks of a 20-to-0 defeat.
The green-shirted raiders Of South
Bend smashed over the Navy goal three
times in the second period, but after
that a stubborn MILDLY defense halted
the fast-running back and played the
powerful line on almost even terms to
stop every scoring threat.
The Middies, In holding the high
scoring outfit carrying on for Notre
Dame to three touchdowns, surprised
those who had expected the gold-hel-
meted steam roller to smother them I'M
der an avalanche Of scoring.
Even at that, the 20 points scored by
the Ramblers was not q criterion Of
the difference between the two teams
in everything but stubborness of de-
tense. Net one first down did the Navy
register, while the South Blenders were
counting IA.
Tars Stop Early Threats.
Although the Notre Dame first-string
backs ripped the Navy line almost at
will in the first period, when the threat
entered the scoring zone the Tars held
fast. Not until the second period did
Notre Dame get the scoring range.
Then it came quick and fast.
Schwartz started it. An exchange Of
kicks gave Notre Dame possession Of
the ball on the Navy 33-yard line. The
one and only Marchmont shot iateyel
pass to Banas, who raced 10 yards anu
then shot through left tackle to the
Navy is. With perfect interference
opening the entire left side of the Mid
dy line, Schwartz dashed through and
over the goal line standing up.
The second touchdown was the re-
suit Of a sustained 66-yard drive that
started after Devore returned the Navy
kickoff to his own 34-yard line. Banas,
Schwartz and Murphy ripped the Navy
tackles to shreds for two straight first
down. Marchy shot long pass to Muir
ply, who raced to the Navy "a.
Banas Carries Ball Over.
Schwartz poked through the Tar left
tackle to the 15-yard line and then
tossed q lateral to Banas, who was
thrown on the 1-yard stripe. He
plunged over on one try, but Murphy's
kick for the extra point was blocked.
The final counter came as the direct
result Of q 15-yard penalty on the Navy
and beautiful pass from Millheam to
Murphy. The Navy attack could not
get under way, and Gordon Chung
Hoon, the Nays Hawaiian backneld
yard line. There the penalty was plas-
tered on the Tars for holding.
Four smashes at the line put Notre
Dame in position on the Navy 28-yard
line There Millheam dropped back
and faded to his right, sidestepping
three would-be tacklers. Dodging the
last one, he passed As yards diagonally
across the field to Murphy, who raced
the remaining 2 yards to the Navy goal.
Two other Notre Dame scoring
thrusts were halted by the alert Navy
line when Underwood pounced on Mike
Koken's tumble on the 10-yard line and
then followed q short time later by his
interrogation of one OF Koken'S passes
on the 15-yard marker.
Ramblers Rush 281 Yards.
The sheer power Of the Notre Dame
line and the speed OF the backs was
for the most part checked except in
that drive for the second touchdown.
The big forward wall ploughed holes wide
enough for the entire backfield to dash
through ahead of the hall-carrierS who
piled up a total Of 281 yards in rush
ing from scrimmage.
Gordon Chung Hoon, the Tars'
Hawaiian halfback, was the shining
light of the Nays stand. He held his
own in the kicking department with
Marchy Schwartz gained "a Of the
Nays 81 yards and backed up the line
In fine style.
"BulletS Lou Kirn, the Nays back
field ace, did not get In the game be-
cause Of an injury.
Between the halves the regiment OF
rnidshipmen paid honor to the late
Knute Rockne, the famed coach who
started the South Ben:ers on their way
to the top of the Nations foot ball
heap. With colored cards they formed
a foot ball background and spelled cut
or it the word Rock" while taps was
