opened with George Welsh in the
T-slot, shifted to John Weaver,
and finally wound up with
George Knots, little used all
year. Knots was the best of the
trio and the one who directed
the 63-yard scoring drive.
Navy Fails in Scoring Chance.
Welsh was quarterbacking in
the opening period when Navy
got its first good touchdown shot
on a freak play. 1t started as a
pass, Welsh to Riester, but
Uebel intercepted on his own
40 and ran 20 yards. AS he
was chased toward the north
sidelines, Uebel had the ball
stolen from his arms by Jack
Perkins, Navy tackle and big
gest man on the squad.
Perkins headed in the opposite
direction and ran to Army's g.
yard line before he was pulled
down from behind. But Navy
muffed the opportunity. After
Bob Craig drove to the 7, Navy
drew a backfield- motion pen
atty and finally lost the ball on
a third-down pass that Welsh
intended for End Don Fullam.
Bell intercepted on the 2, ran
to the 6. and Army punted out
to safety.
After nearly 10 minutes of
the second period had elapsed,
Army struck again, this time 60
ing 81 yards on eight plays. The
big one was a long. leading pass
from Vann to a sophomore end
from Rochester, Don Holleder.
Uebel Scores Again.
Vann, a 20-year-old, 180-
FOUNDER from Hamburg, N. Y,
eluded the first wave of Navy
pass-rusherS and had an option
of running. Then he Spied Hol-
leder slipping behind Craig deep
in the Navy's secondary and
floated the pass to him. Holleder
reached Navy'S 18 before he was
brought down. But five plays
later = Uebel carrying three
times, Lodge twice-and its was
1870. Uebel doomed off right
tackle to score easily.
Army wasn't faultless when it
came to capitalizing on scoring
opportunities. The Black
knights got the ball just be-
fore the half when Lodge in
tercepted a pass which Welsh
intended for Craig. The Army
fullback ran So yards before
ike" Eisenhauer, Navy guard,
pulled him down. Bell drove to
the 4-yard line but Navy threw
Vann for an 11-yard loss and
CheSnauSkas missed field goal
from the 20-yard line.
The game resolved itself into
a bitter battle for short yardage
until nearly IL minutes of the
third quarter had run out. Then,
after Navy rallied to stop Army
on it's 16, Fullback Joe Gattuso
got off a good, Spiraling punt.
Uebel took it on his 20 and set
sail down the south sidelines. A
three-letter star in basketball
and track as we'll as football,
Uebel outmaneuvered the first
group of downfield tacklers and
outran the rest to go the dis
tance and make it 900:
Army Blows Another Chance.
Just before the final period,
which Navy dominated COM
pIerely, Army got another scor-
ing chance and blew it. When
the Midshipmen were gambling
recklessly, Army downed Weaver
on fake, tourCn-ooWn punt on
his 81 and drove to the 4. where
Bell missed q first down by
inches.
The rest was all Navy and all
anti-climatic. The Midshipmen
had the ball for all except seven
plays in the final quarter. Once
they penetrated to the 6-yard
line. were thrown back to the
16, and lost the ball when Uebel
broke up a fourth-down pass in
the end zone.
Army kicked out to the Mid
Nipmen's 81 and again Navy
,arged back, Knots at quarter
