another. Apparently the Army had
failed to recover from its Notre Dame
beating and this was Nays big DAY.
But here stout Army defense inter-
posed a hard charging counter attack
that broke up the Navy's march and
wrecked the only real offensive threat
Navy offered all afternoon.
1t was only a few minutes after this
Navy drive was stopped that the Army
was busy in what might be called the
battle of forward-pass interference and
forward-pass interceptionS. These Incl
dents were one of the leading features
Of the tropical afternoon.
First Touchdown.
The trouble started early in the Sec
ond period when the Army picked up
20 yards on a Navy pass interference.
On the next play Buckler, the Texan,
threw a pass to Kopchak on Nays
13-yard line. The uproar that earlier
had belonged on NavyS side of the f1eld
was now transferred to the roistering
cadets. The racket increased in volume
as Buckler fought his way through to
the 4-yard line and from there Plck
"
and Buckler kicked goal.
Fields great kicking, Buckler's pass
ing and running and Navy interference
featured most of the play to this point:
The Navy fought its way out OF
trouble more than once in the thrd
quarter, with the fleet and versatile
Chung Hoon always ready to open
pot of trouble. But it was only game
battle against heavy odds and waning
hope.
Navy tumble Costly.
The Navy mixed up its attack with
3hterals and laterals hooked to long
forwards down the field, but most or
them went astray or else were inter-
certed. It was late in the third quar-
iter that Army began pressing forward
again. Once again Fields kicking toe
helped contribute to the Navy down
fall. Then Navy tumble gave the
Army its second chance. A forward
pass from Buckler to Burlingame
picked UP Is important yards and just
after the fourth quarter opened long
forward from Buckler to Frentzel
scored the second touchdown. 1t was
a pass that caught the Navy defense
ssdreaming Of the hour" as Frentzel,
standing alone and Unmarried. caught
the ball across the Navy line. This
Navy hope.
Later on in the fourth quarter Army
took the ball on Navy's 40-yard line
and here the hammering, catapulting
Texan began his famous hike to a
third touchdown. On this march
Buckler carried the ball on almost
every play. He gained 38 OF the 40
yards needed to score with a pair OF
fast, strong running legs that sent him
spinning along BY this time the Navy
defense was weakening badly from the
heat and from superior pressure. Navy
had made a gallant fight most OF the
way but that second Army touchdown
had been a heavy shadow thrown
across sunny sky that exuded stove
like heat.
AS Buckler spun around END for the
last touchdown Army had reached its
objective in scoring more points against
Navy than Notre Dame had scored in
Cleveland some weeks ago.
Navy Outplayed-
Army today had all the better Of the
interservice war. 1t collected all the
points and ran up 10 first downs to
Nayy's IL. 1t had much the better OF
the kicking game with Fields on the
lob and it had the superior line in
spite of the fine play of Reedy, Brooks

Il was a treat to see big King, the in
tIred Army end, back in harness for
part of the play. Here was star who
could have helped no little in the Notre
Dame show.
This was the first official scheduled
meeting of these two ancient rivals
since 1925 In Chicago, when they fought
to a 81 draw on Soldiers Field.

3mered as heavily as this team was a
week ago should find itself again and
give one of its best all-around exhibi-
stions. And it was the West that con-
tributed no little to this victory, with
Buckler and Kilday from Texas, Fields
from Indiana and Vidal from the State
