BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 5-Play-
ing under wraps in all except three
or four hard-driving minutes, Notre
Danes unbeaten and united Irish
continued their march toward the
mythical national championship
here today by scoring a l5-to-O
victory over punchless Navy
eleven.
A crowd of $4,000. jamming every
inch OF Baltimore S deep. implanted
wooden bowl, watched Navy win de-
cisively on statistics but fail to make
good on numerous scoring oppor-
tunities. Twice the Middies were
stopped inside of Notre Danes s.
yard line and numerous thrusts
came to grief in the vicinity of the
2o-yard stripe.
Notre Dame took it's sixth straight
victory without using anything more
intricate than straight football tao
tics. Twice the Irish tried passes,
but in the process they were careful
not to show anything to the as
sembled scouts from Northwestern,
Minnesota and Southern California.
who stand in their path. Without
having much to show as evidence.
Notre Dame left the impression that
orders were to keep the blanket on.
Irish" Make One Big Drive.
Only once-midway the second
period-did the Ramblers open up.
When they did they showed clearly
their supremacy, for in seven plays
the South Bend horde paraded 80
yards to a touchdown. The second
touchdown had break" written all
over it, for this third-quarter score
came as q result of a tumble by
Nays Ralph Anderson on his IT,
yard line.
With the score standing 1870,
Notre Danes third team took the
field in the final period and on the
first play the third-stringers drove
Passer Cliff Lenz of Navy back to-
ward the end zone and batted down
his pass try over the goal line for
safety and two final points.
Thus Navy joined Kansas, Georgia
Tech, Illinois. Carnegie Tech and
Army on the Notre Dame victim list.
With Pittsburgh now among the
beaten, the Irish" will have a
stronger and less disputed claim on
the mythical title If they can wn
over the three remaining teams on
the schedule.
Navy Makes Early Thrusts.
Coach Elmer Layden took a leaf
from the book OF the immortal Knute
Rockne when he started his second
team against Navy. The Middies
pushed the second-striig Ramblers
around from the outset, marching to
a first down on the enemy 24-yard
line in the first three minutes. But
here Navy was checked as the long
passing spirals of halfback Lem
Cooke were knocked down in the
end zone.
Undaunted, Navy came back later
In the opening period and with Cooke
pitching some Of the more success
full Of the Middies' 80 passes, made
first down on Notre Danes 10. Again
the Annapolis men failed to hit pay
on territory. A third down pass,
Cooke to Ulmont Whitehead, put the
ball on the 3-yard line and at this
point Navy tried a field goal. Bill
Worden, sub back, came in to
place-kick from an angle, but tackle
Joe Beinor blocked it as the period
ended.
Notre Danes first team was in
the game in the second period, but
still Navy kept the Irish" on the
defensive until a long-range passing
attack by Navy failed from the
South Benders' Is. Taking over on
their 20, the Irish" swung into
action.
Notre Dame Gets Across.
Bob Saggau, hard-hitting half
back, ripped of q short gain and
then handed the ball to q muscular,
stocky young man named Lou Zon.
