those other essentials of football
Photographic evidence in Army's
triumph over the seadogS before
the frozen thousands Of Phila-
delphia.
It wasn't the ground gained
between the 30-yard lines that
won for Army. Nor the three
yard forward passes that Navy
completed in the flat that carried
the day. It was deep down in
the dirt blocking Of Nays tacklerS
that kept Army's ball carriers on
their feet.
When Long went off on his
touchdown run, Jack DobSon, son
Of University Of Maryland's great
coach, blocked out Lem Cooke,
the Navy ace backfield man. If
it had not been for Dobson's eff
fective liquidation of Cooke.
Longs effort to break to the clear
in center gridiron would have
been in vain, and Army might
not have won. As. Long went on
down the field, Riggs Sullivan
conveyed him the last Is yards,
humping out Of stride a Navy
tackler.
DOBSON BLOCKED HARD
Now let us look at Martins
great run in the third period. AS
the Army man got into the clear
Huey Long cut down in front Of
him and took out Emmett Wood,
who was set for a tackle that
would have stopped Martin after
about ten yards, or Whereabouts.
But Longs superb effort added
those extra yards to his team
mates run. Climaxing that march,
featured by Martins run, was
woodrow Wilson'S touchdown
smash off tackle. In the avail
able Photographic studies Of that
play we see Jack DobSon cast
again in the role Of unsung hero.
His terrific block thrown against
Fighting" Tom McGrath created
a wide opening, and Art Front
czak's block on Allen Bergner
aided. Tom Davis hit Emmett
Wood to complete the opening on
Nays line.
The writer does not attempt for
a moment to discount nor dis
credit the fine play Of Navy
throughout the game. The Mid
shipmen rose to an occasion with
the courage of twentieth century
Decaturs and Barrys. They played
a great game all the way, but there
is no getting around the fact that
in two inspired efforts, Army
played football that was funda-
mentally sound. These two occa-
sions were enough to win,
A study Of the service game re-
veAls Huey Long, a Chevy Chase
lad, in the role of a great hero.
His name rang around the world
as he threaded his way down the
gridiron on his touchdown run,
but he made other contributions
that were as great, if not so much
in the public eye, as that fine
foray. It was Long who bumped
Capt. Pete Powell out OF bounds
as the Navy leader caught pass
from Lem Cooke and was goal
ward bound when Long hit him
three feet from his goal.
Long kicked a goal from touch
down, and, as noted previously
blocked out Wood when Martin
uaS making his long run in the
third period.
POWELL REAL STAR
Captain Powell of Navy crowned
his career as a college football
player in glory, if not in victory
He did everything that a football
leader should do in the great game
of his life. Alien Bergner anc
Ken Hysong were great in the line
and Harold HARDWOOD, who will bt
first-string center on Navy next
year, was sensational in his fear
less tackling. Lem Cooke Is 9
ranking backfield man, and so 1:
Emmett Wood.
The power of Harry Stella
tackle of the Cadets, is terrific
Navy blocked him out at times
during the game to clear the way
for Woods battling spinner!
through the middle and over the
guards. But Stella played All
America or certainly Al[Easterr
tackle for my money against NAVY
and likewise against Notre Dame
the two major tests Of the year FOL
Army football teams.
