ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 28.-Navy
courteously provided a mule for
Army here today and Army retail
lated by giving Navy goat. The
goat was Army itself as the under
dog Middies crushed the Cadets,
l4-0, In the strangest spectacle in
the 43-year history Of the service
game.
Less than $4,000 fans sat in on
proceedings that customarily draw
100000 or more. Those privileged
few, culled from within a 10-mile
radius of this historic town, saw
Army. a 1875 favorite, completely
outplayed by the Middies
Scattered millions throughout the
world heard fabulous tale of Navy,
previously beaten by William and
Mary. Princeton, Georgia Tech and
Notre Dame, refusing to permit
Army even to get beyond the Cadets

Meanwhile the Middies were
throwing their most potent offense
of the season at Army. Three times
In the first half Navy moved inside
Army's 6-twice moving to the l.
before they cashed in with touch
down late in the second period.
Midway in the third period the Mid
dies boosted the score to its final
proportions with another touch
down, then easily chung to its lead as
Army belatedly made scoring ges-
lures.
Middies Flash Class Early.
While half of Nays midshipmen
courteously cheered Justify for
Army. the Middies gave some indi-
cation of what was to come when
Gordon Studer, 167-pound Casper
(Wyo) back, romped % yards to
Armys 81 midway in the first pc
Rod. 1t was Studer, later injured
and carried from Thompson Sta
dunn on stretcher; Harold Ham

Lonoke, Ark, and Hills Hume, 180-
pound back from Alliance, Ohio,
who were the big stars in a Navy

down with a 34-yard punt return
to Army's 4, then a 3-yard sprint
around end to the /. He was in
jured on that play and Joe Sulli-
van of Pittsburgh took over and
with two stabs at Armys line
crashed through to score.
1t was Hamberg who passed 81
yards to Ben Martin for Nays sec
ond score, but it was Hume who set
up that score by intercepting pass
off the paws of Army's highly pub
licized Capt. Hank Mazur.
Studer, Hamberg and Hume we're
the more conspicuous members of
Nays gallant team, but also a
standout was Dave Barksdale, whose
line backing throttled Army's run
ming attack.
Navy Starts Rolling.
On one series of downs Barksdale
made every tackle and generally
produced the games finest defensive
labor. In registering its fourth con-
2ecutive victory over Army, Navy
dominated flrst-half play, rolling up
nine first downs to Army's one. The
final first down figures-Navy, IL;
Army 6-failed to illustrate the Mid
dies superiority.
Navy moved Al yards in the open
ming moments of the game as Alan
Cameron featured with a 16-yard
sprint, but Mazur checked that
threat when he intercepted Gamer

goal. Mazur, the only remaining
Army man in Studer's path, broke
through that wall of interference
to spill him on Army's 81, and that
scoring gesture ended few mo-
