during the first quarter when only
about $4,000 were on hand. Un-
doubtedly this lured the late COM
ers, who just sat and suffered
when the rain started up harder
than ever in the second half.
/ Navy started out fast and. with
the aid of 15-yard penalty, had
a first down on the Irish 11-yard
line early in the game. But Notre
Dame held and took over on
downs despite a jump pass from
zastrow to Capt. Tim Bake, good
for eight yards.
A few minutes later, after the
Irish failed to gain, Navy was
| pounding at the goal again. Zas-
trow got away for 16 yards after
he was unable to find a receiver,
Hauff ran Is and Powers broke
loose for nine around end before
Flood brought him down. An
other 14-yard smash by Zastrow
and the Midshipmen had first
down on the Irish 10 as the first
period ended.
Here Nays only tumble of the
afternoon was made by Hauff and
Paul Burns, Irish guard, recov-
cred on the Z. It was only a
reprieve for Notre Dame, how
ever, because two plays later Pow
ers intercepted pass which VIII
nams intended for Nays feet
Jim Mutscheller. A Z q
Groom Halls Power on 8.
Powers seemed on his way to
a score, but Capt. Jerry Groom
finally nailed him on the 8. Zas-
trow went over from a yard out
two plays later and Drew added
the extra point. A few minutes
later, Notre Dame tied the score,
using Floods interception and
Landry's 54-yard run as the
springboard. Landry was brought
down by Hauf near the sidelines
on Nays 10. Navy dug in and
held for two downs, then VIII
hams got five yards with Jump
pass to Ostrowski. On fourth
down. the passing star from Bal
timore passed to Gay in the end
zone. Caprara's placement barely
cleared the uprights and the score
was tied.
Navy started fast again in the
second half. Zastrow's pass to
Powers gained 10 yards and Hauif
got 10 off tackle, going to Notre
Danes IA The Irish held for
three downs and Drew put the
Midshipmen three points ahead
with a placement from the 49,
yard mark.
Back came the Irish, alternat-
| ipg Williams passes with good
gains by Landry and a 12-yard
run by Murray johnson, who
filled in at halfback for the in
jured JOHNNY Petition. When the
attack seemed about to dog down
inside Nays 10, Williams fired
the ball to Ostrowski, who was
downed on the 4, and then tossed
a fourth-down pass to the same
player in the end zone. Caprara
missed the extra point.
Few Penalties Called.
The Irish got their third and
last touchdown in the fourth quar-
ter after Groom blocked Cam
eron's punt and Weitheman re-
covered for the Irish on Navy's
17-yard line. Landry was at his
best in this drive, scoring after
three plunges good for nine, three
and five points. The extra point
was missed again by Caprara.
The game was hard fought but
there were few penalties. Navy
lost Is yards on attractions and
Notre Dame 80. There was one
little f1areup just before the game
end and it resulted in the election
of Fred Wallner. veteran Notre
Dame guard, and Bob Lowell, Navy
guard. Later it was learned that
the incident first involved Wallner
and Paul Tetreault, Navy tackle,
and that the two are old friends
and former teammates on the high
school team at Greenfield, Mass.
Both Erdelatz and Leahy seemed
well pleased with their players
showing. The Navy coach praised
the defensive work of his line, led
by Tackle Fritz Davis, and Leahy
also lauded the Midshipmen.
This was a typical Notre Dame
team today, driving down the
field" Leahy said.
