this chance and never had another.

1t is rumored that Coach Potsy

strategy, coupled with the fact that

NEW YORK, Oct 29-Fought to a
standstill for the first half, Notre Dame
poured the wealth Of its reserve power
onto the field in the last two periods
today to batter down and beat q good
Army eleven, 19 to T. in their silver
anniversary game before 10000 spec
tators.
Trailing to at the half and Z to s
at the three-quarter pole, the power
house from South Bend went scooting
for two touchdowns in the final Is
minutes as the West Pointers tired
badly. They propably would have
scored at least one more II Coach
Elmer Layden hadn't taken pity and
sent in the last of his substitutes
toward the end.
What started out to be q thriller
as the Cadets scored in the first five
minutes of play was turned vitually
into a rout by the superiority OF Notre
Dame manpower. The Irish" used
more tn; three full teams, and toward
the end each new name was harder
to spell than the others. Likewise, the
Army boys found them harder to
wrestle with.
After having shouted themselves
weary for half the game. the 1900
gray-clad cadets in the lower deck
remained to mourn as the Notre Dame
backs began blasting through the
Army line and spooking around the
wings for touchdowns. The majority
of the great crowd appeared to like it,
this being a red-hot Notre Dame
town.
Thesing Outstanding Back.
The final analysis showed that the
winners had gained total of 348
yards by every known method and
had piled up 13 first downs. Army
had an overall profit of only 1T yards
and eight first downs. OF this the
Cadets applied 73 yards to scoring
their touchdown after receiving the
opening kickoff They made only two
first downs in the second half, one of
them on penalty.
This looked to be one of the greatest
Notre Dame teams once it settled
down to business, with such q wealth
OF splendid backs that the weary Army
defenders couldn't figure out whom to
watch. The first of its touchdowns
was scored by what is approximately
the second team, and the second touch
down by what somebody said was the
third team. 1t was all very confusing,
especially to the Army.
Possibly the outstanding back on
the field was Joe Thesing. He set
the stage for the first Notre Dame
touchdown early in the third period
with beautiful 35-yard run, which
was Immediately followed by q 49,
yard scoring pass from Bob Saggau
to Earl Brown. Thesing accounted for
the third touchdown all by himself
with successive dashes Of IS and IS
yards, in which he brushed OF
tacklers like he meant it.
Army Drives to Score.
Ben Sheriden contributed the second
touchdown the moment the fourth
period began. Faking q pass, he
sucked the Army secondary out into
left field and then went spanking
80 yards. down the sideline to the
1-yard line before he was knocked out
Of bounds. It took him only one
try to bounce across for what proved
the winning points. It was only after
the winners final score that Zontini
managed to make good an extra point
