2. Hill thinks 1t was when Paul
Hornung missed the conversion
after the second Notre Dame
touchdown that left the Trojans
leading 2l-13.
8. Others believe 1t might have
been that fourth-down pass play
that gained II yards from the
Irish 80 and kept the Trojans'
first touchdown drive rolling. The
call and throw were by Ellsworth
Kissinger and the receiver was
Halfback Don Hickman.
Hill said the biggest problem
his staff faced last week was con-
vincing the squad it could beat
the Irish.
From the very first practice
we concentrated on that" he de-
clared.
For the 1855 season, Hill will
have Kissinger, Arnett, Hickman
and Fullback G. r. Roberts, the
starting backfleld Saturday. In
addition to seven regulars. Hill
also will have 16 other players
who helped in the victory. These

Navy time rolls around again
next season, new names will

in the wake of Army's victory
over Navy in Philadelphia Sat-

may be at sea and Holleder
leading an infantry charge in
maneuvers.
The two key figures in the
56th edition of this classic might
well be Tom Forrestal Of Cleve-
land and Dave Bourland of FL

the No. / claim on the quarter
back posts left vacant by Welsh
and Holleder.
Forrestal is the httle-kno
player who had one day of glory
this season, leading Navy to
victory over Penn on day that
Welsh was nursing a toe injury.
Bourland ranked third among
the Cadet quarterbacks, but de-
parting with Holleder will be the
