and chagrined Naval forces awoke
Hill had negotiated 56 yards-from
the Army % where Mazur had re-
ceived to the MILDLY %.
Mazur Goes Across.
In this emergency Army had the
necessary punch. Despite a 5-yard
offside penalty, Mazur carried the
ball TO the 1-foot line and Halfback
Jim Watkins plunged across on the
third try and made it 60. A place
ment specialist, Gene Smith. tried
for the extra point, but it was
blocked by Fedon. Navy center.
1t is entirely possible that Smiths
failure to add the extra point made
it a duller game than expected.
With the 185-pound Busik of Pasa-
dena. Calf, leading the way the
Middies charged with the kickoff
that opened the third quarter and
not even the stanchest Army sup
porter was willing to offer an argu-
ment.
Werner took the kickoff from
yard behind his goal to the 81 and
then Busik took over. Fifteen
plays were required by Navy to
score and Busik either ran or
passed for all except three of them.
He handled the ball almost every
time and his pass to Capt. Bob
Froude of San Bernardino. Calf,
was good for the biggest gain.
Navy Forges Ahead.
This was 27-yard punch In
Army's teeth. but still Busik wasn't
satisfied Until the wind was
knocked out of him the boy known
as Barnacle Bill headed an attack
to the 2, from where Substitute
Phil Hurt drove through the CEN
ter of the line to tie the score.
This left it up to little Bob Leon
ard. the place-kicking star Of the
Middies. and Bobby added the ex-
ira point, making it 7-6. This boot
gave Navy a tremendous edge.
Gambling desperately, Army
chose to kick off. The Cadets
hoped to hold the Middies and
force them to punt. But by this
time the Cadets were weak and the
depth of the Navy squad began to
count. Army not only couldn't
stem the Middies but Larson's tribe
staged another touchdown drive.
Sailors Find Goal Again.
1t took Navy only 13 plays to score
again and the hero Of the drive was
the l50-pound Clark, who faxed a
pass and then ran around his own
left end to score standing up. Once
more Leonard added the extra point
and it was up to Army to score, by
devious means, at least twice in or
der to win.
The Cadets tried nightly. but
they were finished. Team for team,
Red Blaik had an eleven that
matched Navy, but Swede Larson
had two teams and they proved too
strong for Blaik's single lineup.
Mazur was a brilliant figure in
defeat. With everything against
him Hank opened a passing attack.
An aerial to Hill reached the II,
but the Middies found means OF
rushing Mazur and at this point
in the final period pass, intended
for Jim Kelleher of Washington, D.
c., was intercepted by Busik and
that was all.
