BALTIMORE, Oct. 17.-Navy's
green but improving football team
caught fire today from a shoulder
ing spark Of last years great Mid
shipmen eleven and with veteran
Capt. AL Cameron showing the way,
turned back a desperately battling
Yale Bulldog 13 to before $4,000
fans.
The difference between the two
teams was Cameron, the only hold
over starting back from Navy's great
1941 squad. He had seen little serv-
Ice previously this season due to
injuries that stalked him before the
first game.
Cameron's smart mixture of light
ming passes and sheer speed on run
ming plays highlighted the opening
period and helped set the stage for
The Sailors first tally in the Sec
ond.
1t was Cameron's 57-yard runback
OF the third-period kickoff that sent
she Middies marching to their sec
ond touchdown. Besides that his
defensive work, particularly against
aerials, saved a possible tie score
later as the Bulldogs filed the air
with passes in an effort to pull the
game out of the lost column.
Navy Parades II Yards.
Navy marched II yards for its
first score, getting underway after
Cameron returned a punt II yards
to his &c. Hills Hume picked up
: in the line and Cameron swept
around right end down to Yale's As.
Cameron then shot pass which
Roe Johnston caught in great
leap among a mass of Bulldogs on
the 27 and twisted to the 81. Hume
and Gordon Studer lugged it down
70 the 8, and Ben Martin, on a
reverse, slipped and skidded around
left end to cross the Yale goal.
Oreall Crepeau went in to place
kick the point.
Within minutes Yale was biting
back. Ted Hopes, who fought his
heart out with brilliant all-around
work, snagged a punt from Hal
Hambergs toe on the midfield stripe
and lugged it back 5. Hugh Knowl-
TON collaborated with great pass
which Hopes took in circus
catch on the l. as Martin tried
desperately to knock it down. Mar
tin felled Hopes on the 9.
Knowlton's Pass Scores.
Again Knowlton faded back as
the clock licked the last seconds
of the first half, and another aerial
fell into Hopes arms in the end
zone as he dove to get it after
Martin had batted the ball ground
ward. There was hush as Dent
rushed in to attempt a place kick
that went wide, leaving Navy ahead
7 to 6.
The sailors and Cameron came
out for the third period with plenty
of fire. Cameron pulled in Dents
kickoff on his 3, dashed toWare
the sidelines and barely was hauled
down on Yale's 4C. Hume, Martin
and Cameron drove the line for first
down on the "a, and Cameron made
short work by passing to Al Chan
hell, who caught it on the 2 anc
fell across the line. Crepeau missed
his first point after try of the year
and there was the score, 13 to6.
The Bulldogs, taking to the air
might have scored had not R. V
Lynch turned to run in the wrong
direction as he snagged 19-yare
pass from Knowlton on the Navy 81
He was dragged down on the Navy
a., losing nine.
Navy piled up an edge on the
ground, but Yale excelled in the air
where the Bulldogs tried 81 times
i3 with success, to push over 6
much needed score. Yale had l:
first downs, Navy 9.
