Wilson Bows After Battle.

EXPECTING a fighting team in view
of a previous tie with Western and
an ability to score one more touch
down against Eastern than Tech could
score. Wilson supporters-who formed
most of the $500 who sat through a
downpour-were not disappointed.
Central won, $50, but it was no walk
away. Andy McBride's kicking kept
the Blue away from the Wilson goal
most of the afternoon.
The revelation of Bill Ickes, hitherto
a blocker, as ball-carrier and ground
gamer de luxe was Central's big sur
prise. Averaging 6 yards per rush,
Ickes also accounted for the first
touchdown scored by Central back
this season when he plunged over
from the 1-yard line on the first play
of the fourth quarter.
Charley Jones intercepted a pass
and ran 35 yards for the first touch
down, while Paul Kurtz's blocking of
two successive Wilson punts accounted
for the automatic safety in the first
quarter when his second block sent the
ball beyOnd the end zone

football by showing what could be

Four Horsemen played there as juniors
and the next year the game was moved
down to Ebbets Field and since then
it has been played at Yankee Stadium.
1t has excited terrific interest over

1t has been the setting for titanic
struggles among some of the great

Army Quick to Profit.

FIRST to realize what had happened
that day at West Point were the
Army coaches. First they had been
dismayed and then electrified as Gus
Dorais threw passes to Knute Rockne
and Pliska, crushing Army, startling
the football world and setting up a
gridiron dynasty on the tree-covered
campus at Notre Dame. They hadn't
expected anything like that. But,
when it happened they recognized the
significance of it,
That night they had Jess Harper,
the Notre Dame coach, and Dorais and
Rockne as their guests at dinner and
asked them to outline some of their
passing plays for them and talk about
the execution of these plays. They
listened attentively, made copious
notes and went to work on the plays
the following Monday Within the
next couple of weeks Army had de-
veloped crack forward passing COM
bination of it's own-Pritchard to Mer-
rillat.
But Army didn't waste this
new-found ammunition on any
of its minor opponents. Army
was saving 1t for Navy.
Naturally, the feats of Dorais and
Rockne were known at Navy. Navy
knew, too, that Army had adopted the
forward pass and was planning to use
it in the service game. Instead Of
creating alarm at Annapolis, this
created only amusement. Navy had
powerful team and was confident Of
beating Army.
"If Army tries any monkey business
like that" the Navy coaches told the
players-and repeated it to the regi-
ment of midshipmen at rally the
night before the game-"we will ruin
them. We will show them that good
old-fashioned football, as played by a
good team. will be more than too much
for any fol-de-rol like that"
1t was a brave but futile stand
against movement that was destined
to turn football topsy-turvy and send
disaster crashing from the air. In the
Army-Navy game that year, Army, be-
hind the amazing aerial attack
launched by Pritchard and Merrillat,
defeated Navy, % to 9.
