apparently traVel-Weary Stanford
eleven that was supposed to fill
Notre Danes old spot on Arnly's
football schedule found the Irisil's
shoes too big for it today and fell
victim to Army's powerhouse, 1870.
A throng of 46,695 fans, far short
of the capacity crowds lured by
blistering Army-Notre Dame battles
OF the past, sat in on the slaughter.
And they sat in somewhat of fun
eral silence broken only by the
throaty roars of the Corps of Cadets
and the footbeats of Army backs
storming up and down the field.
Stanford supplied little excitement.
Marchie Schwartzs Cardinals
were on Army's side of the, pasture
only four times during the breeze
swept afternoon. Even tEen, YOU
didn't get the feeling that Stanford
would come back and make a con-
test of the uneven affair. YOU could
almost see Schwartz, who helped
Notre Dame score over Army dur
ing his playing days, suffering en-
the bench.
Army apparently suffered, too. 1t
probably fell short of the point
quota set for the game for with only
two minutes left and Stanford trail
ing, 43-0, and hopelessly outclassed,
Coach Earl Blaik permitted Jack
Mackmull to try a 35-yard field goal.
"A croSs-wind blew it wide of the
mark, but it wasn't much consola-
ton for the Californians.
Stanford Halted at Army 5.
Stanford'S passes gave the Pacific
Coast team its only genuine scoring
chance and then, ironically, they
failed in the clutch. Devine opened
the drive from his % with an eight
yard jaunt around Army, then
lofted pass to AL Turriziani on
Stanford's A. His next throw went
to Lugene Martin, who made
great catch between Bobby Vinson
and John Shelley.
Turrizinai and Marty Anderson
bucked the line to Army's 5, but
there the Cadets stiffened and when
Devine's fourth-down jump pass
missed, they took the ball on downs
1t might have been the long trip
from Palo Alto or any one of a
hundred minor matters that affect
football teams, but if Stanford is
fair representative of Pacific
Coast football this season not much
can be said for it. The game was
ballyhooed to some extent in that
vein. It was the worst beating in
f1icted on Stanford since 1899 when
Southern California blanketed it,
$50.
Long runs were the chief strategy
IN Army's plans today, all but one
touchdown resulting from a lengthy
gallop. Fullback Gil Stephenson
started the parade with a 46-yard
dash to Stanford's 8 midway in the
first period. Bobby Stuart bucked
the ball to the / and Stephenson
carried it over. Bill Yeoman, who
kicked five of six extra points,
booted the seventh point
Long Army Runs Tell.
Stephenson carried the ball 20
times for SO yards, but had neither
the most yardage or best average
for the day. Stuart reeled off ia
yards on u tries. but Rudy Cosen-
tino piled up 118 yards on six trips
with the ball. Harold Shultz, the
fourth big man in the Army back
field, gained 66 yards on five at
tempts.
Stanford stood off two Army
thrusts, on the aided by a penalty
and on the /, both in the second
period. 1t was stub born at times,
but the Indians failed to stop the
long runs and they beat them.
Galiffa pulled the second, going
a. yards on cut back off a fake
end run for a touchdown in the
second period. Stuart Travelled so
for the next six-pointer. In between
Bill Kellum, Army end, blocked
Ken Roses punt in Stanford's end
zone for an automatic safety. Army
led at the half, 23-0.
Army stopped Stanfords first
genuine offensive drive of the after
noon on its 81 Immediately after
the start of the third pepriod, then
marched SO yards for score Stuart
went the final seven around end.
Army didn't get rolling again un-
til the final quarter when Blaik
started sending substitutes into the
fray. 1t would have suited Stanford
if he'd kept them on the bench for
one, Harold Schultz, promptly
fstreaked Sc yards for touchdown.
Frank Bashore paved the way,
/ blocking out Turriziani.
Casentino Goes 78 Yards.
Cosentino, apparently as good, If
not better, than his predecessors
Sbolted 78 yards for the final tally,
out-distancing Marty and Erson.

Tom Shaw and Aubrey Devine, but

Stadium's tricky cross winds played
havoc with the kicking on both

tpared to the way Army played -.
The Cadets didn't have to use too
much trickery in their offense :.
