an inspired team on the field.
In their second offensive play they
drove 81 yards for the first touch
down, the highlight of which was
the 37-yard pass from Shemonsk to
Augsburger, followed by Scarbath's
21-yard gallop for the I'D. From
then on it was all Maryland, with
the exception of the third quarter,
when Navy came back fighting after
the half to drive through for touch
down to make the score 21-7. But
with that squirt over, Maryland again
took command and quickly racked
up two more tbs to make the score
35-7.
Then, with the game locked up,
Tatum really cleaned the bench to
give all his substitutes chance and
it was against these untried young
sters that Navy scored twice to make
the final score 35 to 81.
In my book the unsung heroes of
the game were the defensive eleven
who took over each time Navy got
the ball, and it will be long time
before you will witness more dra-
matte ending to a half than the goal
line stands of this defensive team,
which really rose to the heights.
With time running out, Navy had
the ball on Maryland's one-foot line,
first down, goal to go. On the first
play Maryland deliberately went off
side The penalty, of course, with
the ball on the one-foot line,
was just half the way to the goal
line, which made it still first down
and six inches to go, but valuable
time had been used up. They pulled
the same trick on the next play and,
of course, more time was used up,
although it was still first down and
three inches to go. Then the huge
Navy line, on two attempts, crashed
into stone wall without gaining an
inch and as the boys implied from
the second attempt, the half-time
gun went off with the ball still about
half an inch from the chalk mark 1t
was one of the greatest goal line
stands l have ever seen anywhere.
And while am talking about that
defensive team of Maryland's, let's
give a lot of credit to Cianelli, who
played almost the entire game when
Navy had the ball and, with the rest
of his team, did bang-up job.
I don't know whether Tatum can
keep his team keyed up like they
were on Saturday, but if he can they
are sure going to be tough team
to beat.
And while on the subject of COL
lege football, I'll bet the thousands
of Fighting Irish" fans really suf-
fered Saturday afternoon when, with
less than three minutes to go, Notre
Dame found themselves in a TT tie
with the scrappy North Carolina
team, who actually outplayed the
fighting Irish all through the second
half.
But, as has been the case so many
times in the past, Coach Leahy's
boys came through to pull the game
out of the fire. With Bob Williams,
the f1ashy quarterback, throwing the
ball as if it was a basketball instead
of football, Notre Dame put on a
66-yard drive to score the winning
touchdown just two minutes and sew
en- seconds before the final whistle
blew, to keep their unbeaten record
intact
The near upset in the Notre Dame
North Carolina game was typical of
the afternoon. Michigan, rated near
the top by all experts, bowed to
Michigan State, and Tennessee, who
was supposed to just have work
out with Mississippi State, found
themselves on the wrong end of a
20 score, to mention just couple.
But the upsets were not confined
to college football, but continued
right on into the professional ranks
on Sunday, when the lowly Green
Bay Packers upset the mighty Chi
cago Bears 81 to 81; the New York
Giants stopped the great Cleveland
Browns cold, winning go; and the
Pittsburgh Stealers poured it on the
Washington Redskins to the tune OF
26 to Z.
In local football, Mel Henry's Ha-
gerstown Hubs found the Westmin-
ster High School boys a little toe
tough for them and were beaten by
a 10 to z score on Friday night. The
Hagerstown team put up good fight
but they were just overmatched by
a team that was not oyo1v ,,a11oh
