NEW YORK, Nov. 2l.-Army
issued an impressive football COM
munique today that it's more than
ready for Navy next week.
The Cadets took on Princeton's s
clawless Tigers before some $4,000
damp fans in neutral Yankee Sta
dium and made mud pies on the
Tiger goal line all afternoon to
chalk up a 40-to-7 victory for their
biggest scoring spree of the season
Transportation problems trans
planted the game to New York from
Princeton.
AS q battle, it served as nothing
more than a good warmup for Army
for next Saturdays service shindig
at Annapolis. With a couple of
reserve backs-Bob Woods of Corn
ing, N. Y, and Tom Lombardo of
st. Louis-hitting the jackpot for
five touchdowns between them, the
Cadets really piled it on the once
proud Tiger to turn in the most lop-
sided walloping in the half f-century
history of this series.
Meantime, Princeton, winding up
a season with three victories, five
defeats and a tie, was unable to
do a thing all day except against
Army's weaker second-string pass
defenders in the fourth quarter.
Then three of Bob Perina's passes
clicked for SO yards to the Army l
and Bob Sandbach belted the mid
die Of the line for the lone Tiger
marker.
Pushover for Army.
Through the first half the Tigers
managed to go for only one first
down. For the entire game Prince
ton collected only seven of them,
against II for Army, and was able
to gain only 48 yards on the ground
compared to Armys 38S.
The general idea is that it was
pushover, or reasonable fac
simile thereof.
Not only did the Cadets count half
dozen touchdoWns, but if it wasn't
for the defensive work of Bill Gal
lagher at end the Army might have
tackled one or two more onto their
total. Hank Mazur got loose in the
first quarter and Gallagher caught
him just short of score. And when
Lombardo funbled on the Tiger 5
shortly afterWard Gallagher was
Johnny on the spot" again in re-
covering it.
The West Pointers didn't leave the
Issue long in doubt. for they went
81 yards to score in the first five
minutes of the game. Mazur tossed
two passes for 43 yards in this drive
and then heaved 9-yarder to Lom-
bardo for the marker after line play
had brought the ball within shout
ing distance of the goal.
Scores Come in Bunches.
The Cadets rang the bell twice
within five minutes in the second
quarter. The first of these markers
required only two plays for 81 yards,
with Carl Anderson going 35
through the line and Woods sweep
luS "lue lOT 20 ana CTe counter.
The second of the second quarter
scores topped off 67-yard drive,
with Woods picking up 20 in four
tries before taking the touchdown
pass from Anderson.
Woods walloped the right side of
the Princeton line FOR l yard and
the third-period score, after he,
Lombardo, Anderson and Jim Kel-
leher had Clipped in on a 57-yard
march.
Princeton came up with it's tally
early in the fourth period, but
Army drove right back for its last
two tallies. Lombardo connected
for the first of this pair with 81
yard off-tackle trip at the end of
a 69yard parade, and Reserve End
Ed Rafalko caught an 1l-yard pitch
from Plebe Doug Kenna of Jackson,
Miss, in the coffin corner for the
1.nale. The talented toe of Ed
Murphy contributed the four extra
points,
