Flower Hill Church
Considers Fund Drive

At their meeting last week, the
Mems Fellowship of the Flower
Hill Church of the Brethren
heard a representative of the
Wells organization and then
unanimously passed a resolution
asking the church to put on a
fund raising campaign under
their direction as soon as pos
sible.
The church will meet Thurs
day, November 4, at 8 o'clock to
consider the resolution. DR.. A.
Stauffer Curry, of Washington,
D. c., will be present to moderate
the discussion.
A double post card circulation
of the congregation last year
brought no objections to planning
a building program and it is
hoped that every member of the
church, active or inactive, will be
present to promote the financial
plans to implement the building
program.
The CBYF will sponsor a
Halloween party this Saturday
night starting at 1880, and cor
daily invite anyone of the COM
munity youth to join them in a
good time. They will serve a
spaghetti supper the next Satur-
day night, November 6, to help
finance youth center in the COM
ing building program.
Next Sunday night, the CBYF
will meet at Z o'clock, and at the
same time, an adult forum, junior
league and children's hour will
convene. These will be followed
by a short Bible lesson by the
pastor. This will provide an in
teresting evening for all of the
family and all people are well
come regardless of church affilia-
ton.

AUGUSTA, Ca, Nov. 81
President Eisenhower, who wore
an Army. football uniform more
than 40 years ago. rooted for his
old team today while watching
the Army-Navy game on tele-
vision in the lounge of the Au-
gusta National Golf clubhouse.
"As Commander-in-Chief
have to be impartial" the Presi-
dent told Press Secretary James
Hagerty before the game, "but
I lean slightly toward the Army" +"
After the game, the President
had nothing to say publicly.
Gen. Eisenhower. on a long
weekend vacation at the little
White House here, got in round
of golf this morning before the
game. The weather man, who
had produced nothing except
brilliant blue skies since the
President arrived late Wednes-
day, faltered a bit today. The
sky was overcast and sprink-
ling rain started about noon.
Gen. Eisenhower was a half
back on the West Point fresh
man football team in 1911. He
injured his knee in his sopho-
more year and never played for
the varsity. although he sat IN
uniform with the Army squad
at the 1912 Navy game.

phia classic to work on his favor

D. C. Fans Return
From, Army-Novy
Bruised but EIuted

Bruised, but still elated by the
memory of one of the most
thrilling Army-Navy games on
record. Washington's large spec
tator contingent returned last
night by plane, train and auto
from Philadelphia.
More than 5000 came into
Union Station by special train
For two hours, blanketed. be-
ribboned, binocular-carrying fans
strobe through the concourse.
Later trains carried rooters-
civilian and military-who had
time to refresh themselves before
making the return trip, and
many of them had quieter trav-
elers staring with, raucous out
bursts of Anchors Aweigh" and
less traditional songs.
Army and Navy pennants flew
in equal numbers, but the Navy
colors were little higher. Hun
dreds of women still sported their
yellow chrysanthemums on furs
and jacket lapels. The curious
had to bend close to tell the
blue-and-gold ribbons on the
Navy rooters from the black and
gold OF the Army. 4
Pretty good game" was the
consensus.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27.--
Eddie Erdelatz's post-game ses-
sion with the press in the dress
ing room after Nays victory
over Army here today sounded as
though the decision was not at
all unexpected. The personable
Navy coach's responses and side
remarks had the sound Of q we'll
rehearsed talk.
Indeed. Navy was so certain
of victory, although Army was
q 5-point fayorite. it had pre-
pared mimeographed announce
ments Of its bowl bid accept
ance to issue when it became
official. Only the spaces naming
the bowl and the city were left
to be filled in. The first para
graph was worded thusly::
Navy will play in the - Bowl
game on New Years Day, the
Secretary Of the Navy, Charles S.
Thomas, announced today, fol-
lowing Navy's win over Cor tie
With Army"
No Pressure on Players.
The announcement said Thorn
as waited until the game was
over before making his decision
but that since the players would
have to give up a portion OF
their holiday leave to train and
participate in the game, he
would allow the team to make
its own decision.
In making the announcement

Eddie said. shut this, honestly

Erdelatz, asked to comment on
the line. said he thought it was

Beagle certainly was an ALI
American end.

somebody's feelings If didn't
name them all. and I don't want
to hurt anybody. But right here,
let me give some well deserved
credit to my assistants. They
really deserve it and ! want them
to have it."
Erdelatz said Navy added only
one new play for the Army game,
the screen pass George Welsh
threw to Bob Craig for the first
touchdown of a free-scoring
afternoon.
A writer wondered if Navy'S
winning touchdown toss from
Welsh to Bill Smith could be
traced to Army's weakness
against passes, but Eddie said
he thought no.
"It was a well-executed play
from Welsh to Smith," he said.
"But that third-down pass
with less than two minutes to
go scared even me-" another
reported said.
George likes to help keep it
interesting" Eddie replied. He
called a great game"

arch-rival. The waiting reporters
heard one of two shouts now
and then, but men who have COW
cred important professional
games commented that the pros
seemed more enthusiastic.
Soon a silence settled over the
room, followed by a lusty shout.
They're voting on a bowl
game" whispered the Irish cop
through a thin slit at the door.
He didn't know which bowl.
Thomas Breaks News.
There was another shout and
Thomas came to the door.
Navy, he announced, had
played a great game, the best
he ever saw, and had received in
vitations to play in several bowl
games. To be fair about it,
Thomas continued. he had al
lowed the boys to cast several
ballots to decide if they wanted
to give up their Christmas holi-
days to accept one of the invi-
tations, and also to decide which
they wanted to accept. The boys
chose the Sugar Bowl.
"Were there more than two
invitations" Thomas was asked.
''The dictionary" interjected
Admiral Boone, describes sew
eral invitations as two to seven. /"
Somebody musta tole him" !"
grumbled the radio guy.
Almost seconds later the wait
ing press was swept into the
room by the working press Just
crashing through the barrier OF
humanity on the field outside the
dressing room. They made for

we did. However, this Is the
first Navy team that we were
unable to stop. For that matter,
they were unable to stop US.
Why, there were only three
punts in the entire game. You
had to score, tumble or have a
pass intercepted to lose the ball."
He singled out Pat Uebel of
Bellevue, KY, who gained 1873
yards for the day, and Don Hol-
leder, an all-around end, as the
stars for Army. He compli-
mented George Welsh of Coal
dale, Pa, the Navy quarterback,
and halfback John Weaver as
being outstanding in his eyes
for the Middies. Blaik also had
a kind word for the Navy tackles.
Asked why Pete Vann, one of
the East's top passers, tried only
10 passes, Blaik said his team
always seemed to start from
deep in it's own territory and
was making hugs gobs of yards
on the ground. Why pass when
our runners are making head
way? If we passed they might
have picked one Off"
Names Navy Best.
Told Navy was going to the
Sugar Bowl next New Years Day,
Blaik said he thought that was
fine and that he thought the
Middies would make q fine show
ing on the basis of the game
they played today.
Blaik unhesitatingly named
the Navy as the best team his
boys had faced all year. 1.-THE
way they played today, they were
the best team we met, better
than Duke and Michigan. After
all. Duke and Michigan couldn't
beat us. Navy did"
With that, the Army coach
closed the interview

Of the teams decision after the
game, Thomas emphasized that
the Navy eleven was placed
under ABSOLUTELY no pressure" to
accept q bid, "but learned to
read and write down there" and
could write yes or no.
Erdelatz first explained about
the balloting on the bowl issue
after Secretary Thomas an
nounced the squad could accept
one Of several invitations if ii
cared to sacrifice its Christmas
leave.
That Immediately brought up
the question Of when Navy would
begin drills for its post-season
date.

We've taken these things week

think about it until next week. "

Players Spirit Cited
As Reason for Navy
Approval Of Bowl
BY the A..oeiassd Press

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27.-
Naval Academy officials accepted
q bid today to the Sugar Bowl
because they felt "the players
had accomplished so much on
sheer spirit that they deserved
some further recognition"
Capt. C.. Elliott Loughlin, Navy
athletic director, said that was
the reason Rear Admiral Wal
ter F. Boone, Academy SUPER
intendent. recommended they be
allowed to 60.
"He was so impressed by the
intangibles involved in this
squad he thought they should
be rewarded" Loughlin said.
Everybody probably remenl-
bers Army beat us 20-7 last year.
Well. this team is nothing more
than the leftovers and look
what they have done.
"They have met what ap-
peared to be insurmountable
odds week after week and over
came them. They have been
outweighed underdogs. but they
never were outplayed and have
won. So the admiral felt that II
they beat, or even tied, Army.
they should be rewarded with
q bowl appearance"
Action "Not q Precedent"
Many people have been under
the impression the Naval Acad-
emy had a policy of not accept
ing bowl bids, since it had gone
only once before. in 1924. But
Capt. Loughlin said there never
had been such q policy, and
that the Academy considers
each case as it comes up" He
added, "This years acceptance
Is not a precedent either"
Superintendent Boone'S recon-
mendation that the Sugar Bowl
bid be accepted, depending on
the outcome of today's Army
game, was approved by the Chief
of Naval Operations, Admiral
Robert Carney, and Secretary
of the Navy Charles S. Thomas.
Two years ago Navy had bid
from the Orange Bowl. It was
reported a decision not to ac-
cept was made at the top levels
in Washington. That action
came just a year after the Naval
Academy had filled out an NCAA

Army's attitude against bowls
is much stronger. When the pos

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. .27.-
Favored by perfect football
weather, a clear, crisp but windy
day, Army's Graylegs and Navy's
blue-suited Midshipmen put on
a good show today for the usual
turnaway audience of more than
100, 900 fans - themselves in
cluded.
President Eisenhower, who
once had gridiron ambitions
himself while a West Point
cadet, was conspicuously absent,
and it was his loss. The two
service teams put on one of the
most exciting contests of their
55-game series, topped off with
some pre-game and halftime
high jinks.
The list of dignitaries included
Chief Justice Warren, Admiral
Arthur w. Radford, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Fleet
Admiral Ernest j. King, wartime
commander of the Navy: General
Nathan F. Twining. Air Force
chief of staff. and members of
the Cabinet and Congress.
Navy, as host team, presented
a halftime show featuring a
brief parade of floats and the
music of the Midshipmen's drum
and bugle corps. The floats in
cluded one showing the home
States, territories and foreign
countries represented by Acad-
emy personnel.
Then came one depicting Ban

lighting a "Beat Army" slogan.
and a fourth designed as a Per-
sian cafe, complete with jazz
band, recalling the Midshipmen's
annual summer cruise.
Army countered with a raga-
muffin brass band. arrayed in
bathrobes-many with Confed-
crate flags emblazoned on them
paper hats and other odds and
ends. The band spelled out an
"N' and played Anchors Aweigh

The Cadets also brought in an

Army brought in its mules,
both of them, in long. trailer
truck carrying a sign "Army's
answer to atomic warfare" But
the vehicle begged down in some
mud at the west end of the field
and a squad of some 20 to 80
Cadets and> helpers labored Is
minutes to get it free.
Each Navy touchdown was the
signal for the release of a bal
loon to which was attached a
miniature West Point bathrobe,
carrying the touchdown's num-
ber-one, two, etc. Army fired
blank shot from a small field
piece for each of it's touchdowns,
and released numbered balloon.
Army players appeared to be
quenching their thirst from a
small flask, but closer inspection
through field glasses showed it
was merely an ordinary service
canteen.
Coach Earl Blaik maintained
his calm composure until near
the end of the game when he
Joined his anxious squad on the
sideline as Navy took complete
control of the game. The Colo
mel, well booted and bundled up
after his recent attack of pneu-
monia, spat unconcernedly as he
watched Navy crash over for its
third touchdown, overcoming
West Points 20-14 lead.
It took one hour and three
minutes for both West Pointers
and Midshfpmen to parade on
the field and take their seats, but
that was the show the pretty
girls, doting mothers and proud
fathers came to see. Nor were
the football fans disappointed
by their portion of the bill.
This was one of the greatest.
The only surprise was the fail.
