Arnold GaIiffa losses
-Four Scoring Passes;
is in Row for Cadets
BY the Assoeioted Press

Army scored sweet revenge by
rolling over Columbia, SO to 6
today in a mighty show of foot
ball offense that included four
touchdown passes by the Cadets
superb quarterback. Arnold Ga
liffa.
The victory brought to 16
Army's games without defeat. But
what loomed largest in the minds
of the madly cheering Cadet corps
was the fact that Army. in run
ming up it's highest score of the
year, did so at the expense OF
the college that won such a sur
prising upset, 81 to 20, in 1947
and ended another long Army
string, that one for 80 games
without defeat.
Two scoring plays stood out In
the wild assortment. In the first
period Galiffa, with Army on its
own 17-yard line, threw a long
soft pass that Jim Cain gathered
in on the Army As and then went
the rest of the way right down
the sideline. total of 80 yards
81 Yards to Touchdown.
But Cain himself came up with
the longest score of all at the very
end of the half when he took
Bob Connell's kickoff and raced
81 yards for a touchdown with
only one second left to play.
Gains runback Immediately
followed the single score that
Lou Little's striving Columbis
team engineered. Columbia
started from its IS with two
passes by Kermit Tracy carrying
to Army's SO. There interference
was ruled on another pass, and
Columbia was given the ball on
the II.
Tracy then passed to Leon Van
Bellingham for the score. This
touchdown and Gains were pro-
duced with only Is seconds to
play in the first half.
Probably the sweetest revenge
of all was gained by Jack Mack
null. the Army senior whose
failure to make one Of the points
after touchdown in 1947 enabled
Columbia to achieve its surpris-
ing victory. Today he was flaw
less, kicking nine extra points in
nine tries.
Actually Army, the Nation s
number two football team, made
no extra effort to roll up points.
Twice in the last period Coach
Earl Blaik, with his boys in scor-
ing position, sent in substitutes
and received penalties that served
to slow down the relentless Cadet
march. -

Plunges by Frank Fischl and Gil
Stephenson advanced to Colum-

period was Galiffa's perfect toss
to Cain for SO yards.
Wild Second Period.
In the wild and woolly second
period. before the final 15-second
spree. Cain shot eight yards
