forced out with leg injury during
the first half. The red-head from
Fort Wayne, Ind, who played with
Great Lakes during the war, gained
So yards on five trips with the ball
for the highest average on either
team.
Elwyn Rowan, Doc Blanchard's
understudy at fullback last season,
was the most effective ball carrier
for Army. He scored the Cadets
only touchdown early in the fourth
quarter, gained 83 yards in 16 at
tempts and was dangerous every
time he carried the ball.
Army's most successful weapon
was the delayed buck, with Rowan
and Quarterback Arnold Galiffa
earring the ball. Galiffa, pretty
good passer, several times scattered
the Irish defenses when he faded
back out of the T formation and
then dashed thorugh for substantial
gains.
Irish On Long Parade.
Notre Danes second touchdown
resulted from a long march-after
Army had been forced to punt fol-
lowing the second kickoff. A 23-
yard pass, Lujack to Leon Hart,
a 13-yard dash by Sitko and one of
Martins end-around jaunts for IA
yards ate up most of the distance
before Brennan went over from
three three yards out. Earley's kick
for the extra point was wide.
The Irish had several other scor-
ing chances in the first half but
didn't score again until the third
quarter. A break, in the form OF
a pass interference penalty called
on Capt. Joe Steffy of the Army,
gave the Irish their opening and
possession of the ball on the Cadets
40-yard line. Bob Livingstone gained
seven yards through the line and
Swistowicz added IS on another OF
those shovel passes.
Here penalty for having back
in motion threatened to halt the
drive. But on the fourth down,
with two yards needed, Livingstone
gained five to the 6-yard mark
and he went the rest Of the way
on the next play.
After the next kickoff, Army made
it's sole touchdown march. which
was aided a lot by a sharp pass
from Galiffa to Don Goldstrom,
good for II yards. Bobby Stuart
contributed several sizable gains
during the advance, which was CHI
NAKED when Rowan catapulted
over the goal line from l yard out.
Steffy's conversion kick was good.
Move 80 Yards In II Plays.
Notre Danes most impressive
march of the season followed the
subsequent kickoff. Starting on
their own 20, the Irish went all the
way in II plays. The touchdown
was scored on an 11-yard run by
Larry Coutre, one of Leahy's many
crack reserves, who also contributed
gains of 10 and 8 yards during
the march. Earley's extra point
made the score 27-7, and that's the
way it ended.
At the finish, Gus Dielens, reserve
quarterback, was throwing long
passes for Army. and Jimmy Bren-
nan, Terry's older brother, inter-
cepted one of these just before
the gun.
Today's victory was the 23d in
the series for Notre Dame as against
seven for Army. -Four of the "a
games ended in ties.
A train wreck near Ashtabula
delayed the arrival of the 300 Cadet
upperclassmen who attended the
game, but they reached the stadium
in time to parade and be in their
seats for the kickoff.
South Bend got real break in
the weather despite the 30-odd de-
gree cold, for snow was reported
in all the surrounding towns. De-
spite the rain of the last few days,
the playing field was in good con-
dition as it had been covered with
tarpaulin all week.
