CAM6HlDJE, Mass, OCI. To-
Continuing its drive to the Ma
TONS highest football peak,
mighty Army, with its supposedly
ailing Gil Stephenson scoring four
times overwhelmed an out-man-
ned but hard fighting Harvard
team, 54-14, today at the stadium.
The Cadets terrific power
shocked the $4,000 fans that
viewed the most humiliating de-
fensive stand Harvard has made
during its long history. The prev
ious highest score against it was
Yale's 1910 victory back in 1884.
Two years ago, Virginia defeated
Harvard, 47-0.
When the hard-smashing Full
back Stephenson was not tearing
the Crimson line to shreads, nu-
merous other black-shirted West
Pointers were. The only respite
Harvard had was during the third
period when Army Coach Red
Blaik, bent on mercy, had his third
and fourth stringers in action.
The Cadets scored thrice in both
the first and second sessions, were
BANKED in the third and then,
with a breath-taking demonstra-
ton of the attack that toppled
Mighty Michigan last week, added
two more touchdowns in the
finale.
Runs 7e Yards.
Jim Cain accounted for two of
the Army touchdowns and the
others were made by Vic Pollard
and Elmer Stout. The latter's was
the most spectacular play of the
game, 76-yard dash with an in
tercepted. pass.
Harvard, previously beaten by
Stanford. Columbia and Cornell,
made brave showing after taking
the game opening kickoff. But it
soon put itself hopelessly out of
the running by fumbling on
the Army's 28-yard line.
Thereupon. the Cadets settled
down to scoring business in grim
fashion and their first two tallies
were registered within the short
space of 80 seconds.
After being banged and bruised
about almost at the Cadets will
Tor nearly a half hour, Harvard
gained its second wind against
scrub opposition and Jim Henry
ended a 98-yard drive, mostly
through the air. by smashing over
from Army's 1-yard line.
Harvard Scores Again.
Blaik had his top performers
back in action when the fourth
period opened, but a half dozen
Harvards appeared to block a punt
on Army's 80 and, after six plays
and two Army penalties, Henry
smashed over again from foot
out.
The blocked kick and the re-
sulting touchdown seemed to
arouse Stephenson's ire for he
tortured his weary opposition with
his bone-crushing rushes the re-
mainder of the game.
Jack Mackmull, Army's extra
point specialist, made good on six
