NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 16.-
Second Air Force Superbombers
tried infantry tactics against RAN
dolph Field today and ended up
marching in the rear of the power
full Ramblers, 1876, although with
only Is seconds left they were
knocking at the door for a second
touchdown.
A disappointing Polo Grounds
crowd of 1856 fans. sitting through
a heavy furry of snow in the first
half and sunshine in the second,
saw the service rivals fight tooth
and nail in an Air Force football
game that was decided, appropri-
ately enough, by couple OF aerial
strikes in the first and third quar-
ters.
Twice the losers slashed through
Randolph's heavy forwards without
scoring The clock stopped them in
the first half, running out as Jack
Evans picked his way through the
enemy secondary almost to goal.
And IN the final period 1t was an
offside penalty against Jack Bald
win, Superbomber center, showing
his mates back from the to the 7
on fourth down, that closed the
gates. The penalty interrupted a
37-yard drive that seemed almost
certain to produce score.
Dobbs Wasn't in Picture.
Glenn Dobbs, I'd Air Forces high
ly touted star, wasn't in the picture
today In fact, the team worked
better with second backfield COM
prised of Evans, Steve Sucic, Don
Fauble and Collie Renfro Dobbs,
ironically, gave Randolph its initial
scoring opportunity by taking too
much time on a punt that was
blocked by Jack Russell and recov-
cred by half the Ramblers. Ran
dolph, in two plays, broke the ice.
On paper, End Air Force hao much
the better team, gaining 302 yards
on the ground to Randolph's 1874
The vaunted Randolph line simply
couldn't find the answer to Sucic' S
off tackle thrusts and was hard put
to halt Evans, who picked on both
tackles and ends. In the air Ran
dolph was only slightly better. pick
ing up SO yards to the losers 80, but
two of the three passes it completed
went for touchdowns.
Dobbs, possibly not at his best
because of the mushy field, was
roped in. along with Bill Prentice
on Randolph's first pay-off pitch
Bill Dudley hit the line for three
then sent Pete Layden back to pass
While Dobbs and Prentice were
looking for possible developments
up In the line, Harry Burrus slipped
behind them and took the pass on

Losers Go 10 Yards to Score.
Dobbs, long-striding. sharp
cutting runner, flashed a hint of his
power at the start of the second
half, however. returning the kickoff
from the 2 to his AZ, and on the
next playa reverse-going down
to Randolph's 81. Elmer Madarik
stopped possible touchdown against
the Ramblers by catching Dobbs
from behind with an ankle tackle
Randolph, too, gave a display OF
power in getting its second score
marching from its II to the Super
bombers' 3. where Dudley pitched
a short pass to Johnny Goodyear
in the fat for the touchdown.
Dudley kicked the point.
1t was Fauble, Evans and Sucic
over and over again, as I'd Air Force
went 10 yards for its touchdown in
the final period Randolph seemed
to have the Bombers stopped on
Randolph's 36, but Fauble bulled his
way over for a first down, and the
drive rolled on. To Sucic went the
honor of scoring, but Nick Suesof1's S
attempt at the extra point was wide.
Dudley, who played his usual good
game, almost got away for touch
down with the subsequent kick
off, but Evans hauled him down at
midfield, and the officials came up
with holding penalty against Ran
dolph that put the ball back on
the Rambers' 49,

Fumbles almost stopped I'd Air
Forces final futile drive before it
really got started Then, too, a dou-
BILE penalty-both teams offside-
voided a fourth-down pass from
Evans to Huber that moved the
ball to the 13, but Fauble made it
up on the next play. On the last
down and 6 yards from another first,
Fauble sneaked through guard on a
quick-opening play and reached the
IA. Sucic, on two charges at tackle,
went to the 2, and then came the
