entire left side of the Irish line
,s well as Blanchard and his in
terferers fell on him.
The defeat was the worst ever
suffered by Notre Dame, surpass-
ing the IS to 0 defeat handed the
South Bend Ramblers by Wiscon-
sin in 1904. The poorest showing by
Notre Dame in the past Is years
was the 27 to 0 shellacking by
Army in 1925-aiso Knute Rockne's
worst defeat.
Arny's triumph-amazlng IN its
easiness-kept the Cadets in the
unbeaten list with seven straight
wins. 1t was the second straight
loss by the Irish who were spilled
a week ago by Navy, 81 to Is. 1t
also was the first time Notre
Dame ever has lost to both serv-
ice teams the same season.
Army hadn't scored on the Indl-
ana eleven since 1888 but the Ca
iets rectified that deficiency the

score.
A 35-yard Kenna to Ed Rafalko
pass was the scoring play for the
next marker which followed Blan-
Gnard's interrogation of Bob Kely's
attempted forward.
0nly seconds after the second
period got underway Davis grab
ned another Notre Dame aerial and
lassed it 80 yards to the Irish
seven from where he scored on
me next formation. A 34-yard punt
return, by Kenna, set up by a
Issoundlng block by Dewitt Coul-
'eT' made possible the final tally
OF the half by Davis.
