First Win Since 1882.
THE triumph was the first for Notre
Dame over Navy since 1882. when
the Irish" swept to 1910 victory in
Cleveland to extend to six in a row
their victories over the Naval Acad-
emy in the series of annual classics
haugurated in 1927.
In one respect the South Benders'
fifth straight triumph of the current
season particularly was notable in that

appearance at the start of the game.
Ably filling the shoes of Coach Elmer
Layden's ace, whose removal was
regarded as a move to save him for
Ohio State next week, were a pair of
second-stringers in Francis Joseph
Gaul of Waterville. Me, and Andy
Pilney of Chicago. who led the attack
that left the Navy a shattered, de-
nloralized hulk in the second period,
saved from more severe beating by
the half-time whistle and thereafter
by a reserve dotted foe.
Gaul Scores on Pass.
EARLY in the second period, Gaul,
taking an unerring pass from
Pilney while in full flight, skipped
down the Sidelines for a run of almost
45 yards, evading the entire Navy
secondary to cross the goal line for the
first score. Marty Peters, hero of the
Pitt tilt, who also was CONSPICUOUS by
his absence. had a capable kicking
understudy in Ken Stilley, who booted
the extra point for 7-to-0 lead.
Hardly had Nays kickoff after
this touchdown nestled in the waiting
arms of Pilney than Notre Danes
ruthless attack was under way once
more. Pilney, ripping through the
arms of three Middies, tore 20 yards
down the field. When finally he was
grounded young Francis Layden and
Fred Carideo, kid brothers of two of
Notre Danes most illustrious, took up
the ball-carrying burden and accounted
for the two straight first downs that
moved play to Navy's l0-yard stripe.

been beaten by more than one touch

Strengthened up and rif1ed a low, un-
expected fat pass just over the goal
line and into the waiting arms of
Layden. Again Stilley converted.
From the first whistle the teams be-
gan to bring up their punches from
the floor, but the initial period ended
with no serious damage to either side.

It was not until Notre Danes

the game at the start of the second
quarter that things began to happen.

be disastrous for Pilney promptly

Notre Dame the ball on its 20 and
