BALTIMORE, Nov. 10. - Navy
converted five Michigan miscues in
to as many touchdowns this gray,
raw afternoon and crushed the
Wolverines, 1877, before a gaping
crowd of lila fans. 1t was a big
ger count than Army's football pow
erhouse rolled up on Fritz Crisler's
eleven earlier in the season and
gave the Sailors stock tremendous
boost.
Admiral William F. Halsey, ia
nous leader of the fighting Third
Fleet, was in the vast crowd that
saw the Midshipmen score twice in
the first half and then really rack
EN- up in the last two periods. The
Wolverines, who shut out Illinois
and Minnesota in their last two
starts, weren't in the running after
the third period.
A light drizzle fell in the first half,
but it wasn't enough to slow the
field or mar the action. 1t certainly
was no handicap to Navy's backs,
who rolled up 255 yards on their
ground attack. The Wolverines
gained 1863, but most OF it was in
the first half, which ended with
Michigan only a few yards from the
tying touchdown.
Navy Rules Second Half.
Navy controlled the ball through
out the entire second half and only
once did the Mid-Western eleven
cross midf1eld. That was early in
the final period when Leonard
Ford, a big Negro end from Wash
ington, D. c., made a diving catch
of Pete Elliott's long pass for 25-
yard gain and first down on Navys
%. But Navy braced and took the
ball on its own 80.
Michigan missed Capt Joe Pom
setto, its regular quarterback. who
saw the game in his Navy trainee's
uniform from the bench, and it
didn't long have the services of
Howard Yerges, reserve quarter
back. Possibly they would have
made a difference. But Navy was
alert; its line smothered Michigan's
running attack in the pinches and
when the chips were on the line the
Midshipmen came through.
Skippy Minisi, hero of the last
second victory over Penn and last
weeks 6-6 tie with Notre Dame that
preserved Navy's unbeaten record
spanked the first drive into Michigan
territory. But the Wolverines held
on their own 80 before giving Navy
