Hagberg knew the obvious

Unbeaten Alabama gave an amaz-
ing demonstration of speed. power
and passing here today to run up an
overwhelming 55-to-l3 homecom-
ing-day victory over a highly re-
garded Mississippi State eleven.
Today's win, before $4,000 fans
ended another unbeaten regular
season for the Rose Bowl bound
Crimson Tide.
Harry Gilmer's passing and run
ming were almost entirely respons-
ible for the first three Alabama
scores, but the game State eleven
fell apart in the final minutes and
the Tide scored five more touch
downs in Is minutes.
State scored first when Graham
Bramlett intercepted a Gilmer pass
at his IS and ran "a yards to the
Tide !. Harper Davis drove it over
and, for the first time this season,
Alabama was behind, to 0, at the
END of the quarter.
Alabama then turned on the heat
and had 27 points when State got
its second score.
Gilmer had one of his best days,
completing 13 of 10 passes for 1913
yards and two touchdowns, and get
ting 96 yards rushing on II tries.
He had one pass intercepted, how
ever. was thrown for losses of "a
yards on two attempted passes.

man he's ever seen in a football

Clipper deserved to be ranked

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-Presi-
dent Truman made the best run OF
the day, 50-yard jaunt from the
Army side to the Navy side between
the halves, during which he shook
off AIS autograph hounds and 967
back-slappers. The only guy who
stopped him was a legless veteran in
a wheel-chair, and he needed some
blocking by the Philadelphia cops to
get in line for the play
We were in the Presidents box,
but only briefly. Following 1t Bill

ard on the latter's second touch
down jaunt. Scott also will be quite
content to avoid De Witt Coulter
and Art Gerometta, Army linemen,
who were kept busy pulling him
down all afternoon. But the same
could be said of almost any Army
lineman, although Scott wasn't the
only victim.
Navy cheer leaders stole a page
from Michigans book with their
brass quartet and jitterbugging crew
of a dozen hepcats. They roamed
the stadium throughout the after
noon evoking fights" from the
crowd on Navy's side of the stadium.
Navy drew only a polite round of
applause from the crowd as it came
to attention after parading on the
field, causing voice on the ampli-
flying system to announce, Now
We can do better than that. C'mon,
let's give 'em big hand" In turn,
this strategy drew the fire of an
Army officer who said, For Heavens
sake, don't do that again or you'll

Navy's goat mascot, Bill K, lost

to Army and promptly placed on

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. If
Army's l945 eleven was the
greatest collection of collegiate
talent ever assembled on one
squad, Navy's was second best to-
day because the Midshipmen won
a moral victory in bowling to the
Cadets, 32-13. Most wisenheim-

over and play dead while Army
simply rolled up the score, but it
was the toughest football game
this potent West Point eleven
has had all season.
Army's Coach Earl Blaik final

greatest football team ever to

nothing short of boldness in view
