Navy is "up' for the game, that mystic mental condition which makes super men out of little boys blue; that the Middle attack is starting to click as demonstrated in its last two games, and that Army will be lucky to escape with tie.
 And then Army will go out and knock their brains in.
 There are two very simple req sons:
 l. Army's backfield.
 2. ArmyS line.
 That's all, brother, and it's more than plenty.
 Take that backfeld for instance, which any coach in the country, pro or collegiate, would like to do. Blanchard admittedly is a junior Nagurski, and growing daily. Glenn Davis his touchdown twin, may not be the fastest back in the coun- try but he'll do rather handily. Arnold Tucker runs that backyard like an inspired magician and alter mating at the right halfback slot are Shorty McWilliams and Bob Stuart, who could be all Americans out side the Blanchard-Davis shadow.
 The line of course gets the Jumps with few bows, but this one up at the point rates attention from end to end. It will outweigh the Navy front wall only about six pounds to the man, but weight isn't every thing. This is one of the toughest, toughest, hardest-hitting lines ever to escape playing for a salary and as an entity 1t hasn't been scored upon this season. Navy would have to show about twice as much as it has this season to even get close.
 Various citizens of Philadelphia, Durham, N. C.; Ann Arbor, Mich, and South Bend, Ind, who have participated in football festivities with both Army and Navy would tell you the same thing. The Mid dies will find 1t rather long after noon come the first day of the 18th month.
 Comm. Oscar Hagberg, the sub- marine skipped who hopes to tor pedo Army, wiuld like nothing bet ter than to prove all this football fallacy and sit watching at sun down of the big day while We ate every word. The Navy coach Is a grand guy and for him it would be a pleasure. But, Oscar. I'm afraid we'll have to settle for steak.

Storrs, Conn, Nov, IS. UPl- Winding up their season with a 54 to 9 victory over Boston Uni yersity, the University of connec- ticut huskies today had reason to be satisfied with their work, count ing seven wins to one loss for the season.
 Connectieut's star fullback, Walt Trojanowski of Bridgeport. barged though the B. U, line for four more touchdowns Saturday, boost ing his seasons total to l32 points and his nationwide scoring margin to 36 points over the 96 totals of the Armys Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard,
 Coach J, o, Christian put all of his reserves into Saturdays game, but the Boston team had nothing to match them, TroJanowski threw one touchdown pass to Charley Christensen, who tailed one other six-pointer Capt, Russ Hunter, hall back Joe Fitzpatrick and the 26- year-old Eddie Waltman, returning to the gridiron after five years, were principal ground-galners for the Huckies, Hunter and substitute back Steven Comkokyez each scored a touchdown, while quarterback Elbie Jorgensen kicked two points after touchdown and cotter put four placements through the uprights,

TODAY'S SPORT PARADE

New York, Nov. 19. (UP)-If you're all decked out in a sailor suit or your heart is done up in Navy blue, you can do your blood pressure and your indigestion a favor by stopping right here and skipping to another section of to- days sports page.
 Because the sum and substance of the following warning Is that Army is going to belt the tar out of Navy when the two service rivals clash in Philadelphia's sprawling Municipal Stadium on Dec. l.
 AS the day draws closer, you will hear much about it being a blue ribbon classic. An early explana- ton is that after the game, Navy will be blue bordering on black. The ribbon will come in the form of gauge holding the Middies to- gether. And the clouting they took will have been a classic.
 This Army ball club is one of the greatest teams ever put to- gether on a college foatball field. Of course, in the ensuing two weeks this will be denied time and again by Col Earl (Red) Blaik, the un- believing coach of the Cadets. To hear Red tell it, his club will be lucky if it has enough strength to walk out on the field for the kick of; 1t will be overconfident; in- juries will be plentiful; their press clippings will have gone to the players heads; they will be of their feet, and the whole club will be in a nervous mental condition because Dov. landmarks uncle has car buncles.

Wildcats Primed for Turkey Day Grid Surprise
REDSKINS AND RAMS CLOSE TO PRO PLAYOFF
By CORNELIUS RYAN United Press Sports Writer)

New York, Nov. 19 = (UP) = The Cleveland Rams and the Washington Redskins were on the threshold of division championships in the Na- tional Football League today.
 Both can virtually clinch the titles by beating their closest rivals in games this week-Cleveland at De- troit Thanksgiving Day and Wash- ington at Philadelphia-since each already has a one-game lead.
 The Giants contributed greatly to the Rams happy position by up- setting the Detroit Lions with an ef- fective passing game yesterday, 35 to IA. John (Junior) Hovious passed for three touchdownS. This, together with ineffective Lion aerials which twice were interrupted to set up Giant scores, demoralized the Lions, whose record now is six won and two lost.
 Cleveland meanwhile stepped past the Chicago Cardinals. 35 to 2l, with Quarterback Bob Waterfleld again sparkling the Rams. He pitched three touchdown passes. The Cards looked effective only when Waterf1eld was on the bench.
 Close One
 The Chicago Bears, who were given a good chance to upset the Redskins, led at the end of three quarters, 21 to IA, but Washington roared back with two more tallies and a final 28 to 2l victory. A 19- yard punt return by Steve Bagarus, 31-yard run by Dick Todd, and two hard line smashes by Merlyn Condit gave Washington the win- ming points.
 The Pittsburgh Steelers were easy for Philadelphia, 30 to 6. Steve Van Buren scored twice and Ernie Steele and Sonny Karnofsky each once. Roy Zimmerman booted field goal.
 Don Hutson led Green Bay to 2S to win oyer the Boston Tanks as the defending champs clung to slim hopes for holding the title. He scored once, set up another touch- down and booted four extra points.
