PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Navy
Coach Eddie Erdelatz stood in his
teams dressing room holding so
tightly to a football he gave the
impression he was afraid some
Army player - or maybe Army
coach Red Blaik-was going to
take 1t away from him.
The victorious midshipmen were
clowning and yelling. Photogra-
piers were taking pictures. and
there was enough braid trooping
in to man a battleship.
"Where'd you get the football?"
somebody asked and Erdelatz.
speaking like a little boy, said
The captain Drank Hauff) gave
it to me. I'm going to get every
body to autograph it."
Another reporter asked the grin
ming Navy coach If it wasn't un-
usual for a captain to give the
game ball to the coach but Erde-
latz said Frank wanted me to
have it. I told him it was his but
he insisted" Meanwhile Erdelatz
was cuddling the ball as though
it was the key to Fort Knox.
Asked About Notre Dame Box.
"How about that Notre Dame
box you used so much" somebody
asked Erdelatz.
WELL" Eddie replied, II played
in it (under Slip Madigan at St
Mary's). was coaching it before
I coached the T. and used it today
for power purposes"
Another reporter asked If the
Navy coach thought Army sus-
pected he would shift into the box
and Eddie said he didn't see any
reason why it should. Before the
game was over Navy used a little
bit Of everything and most of ii
worked.
Erdelatz was asked what Blaik
said to him in midfield. The Navy
coach said Blaik simply said
Congratulations, your boys playee
a wonderful ball game"
Erdelatz Can't Answer.
ErdelatZ added in a rather en-
barrassed voice that he was toe
checked up to answer the Army
coach other than to shake hands
When the first group of re-
Iporters met Erdelatz in midfield
right after the game the big guy
who first started coaching in 1886
and has been toughened by pre-
ball. was spechless. He had tears
in the corners of his eyes, and he
didn't try to wipe them away.
The Navy coach, who in two
poor pre-Army game seasons al
Annapolis has seen the season
capped with triumphs over the
Cadets, tried to shake hands with
every man on the squad, some on
the field and some in the dressing
room.
When asked to single out stars,
he said he thought everybody was
wonderful. When reporters men
toned names like Vine, Sorren-
tino. Kukowski. Botula. Cameron
ETC., for individual mention, Erde-
latz would answer Yes, but he's
been playing great ball all season.

Field Goal Chance
BY the Associoied Press

BATON ROUGE, La, Dec. a.
Louisiana State squeezed past Tu-
lane, 1913, here today in a foot
ball game that had $4,000 fans in
a frenzy down to the last second.
At the outset. LSU seemed to be
on fire but Tulane's Green Wave
after ripply start began to c0cl
off the Tigers.
Fumbles and penalties against
Tulane spelled much of the diff
ference. The Greenies put up ollie
of the stubbornest battles ever
witnessed in this 49th game of the
series-one of the keeneSt grid ri
valrieS in the South.
LSU Freshman Charlie Oakley,
who played a brilliant game, scored
the first LSU touchdown in the
opening period. Senior Lee Hedges
got the other in the final. Both
scores were on short punches at
the goal line. Frosh Cliff String
field kicked both of LSU's extra
points.
For Tulane, Max MCGEE
plunged one yard for the first
touchdown in the third period,
and Roy Bailey bucked one yard
for the other-after it was set
up by a 57-yard pass, Les Ken
nedy to Ray Weidenbacher in
the fourth. Tom Comeasx place
kicked one conversion and missed
the other.
Late in the final quarter Co.
meaux tried field goal from the
LSU 21-yard line and missed.
That was the ball game.
It was LSU's 26th victory over
Tulane which has won 18. Five
games were tied. This was the
final game of the year for both
teams.
