FILLS IN FOR GoBER WITH 3 SCORES
Burchett Leads Novy

By BILL FUCHS
Star Stah Correspondent

BALTIMORE, Nov. IT,
Neither rain nor wind nor dark
ness kept Chef Burchett, son OF
a Texas mail carrier, from de-
1ivering for Navy today as the
Middies swamped Virginia, BAT
in comparative privacy in Me-
mortal Stadium.
1t was Virginia'S sixth loss
against three victories for the
season.
Only about 10000 fans braved
a steady downpour and a cold
wind to watch Navy close the
curtain on the preliminary
part of its schedule. The Middies
will carry 6-1-1 record against
Army in the big one two weeks
hence in Philadelphia. Success
there could mean a trip to Dallas,
Tex, and the Cotton Bowl on
New Years Day.
On a day that was so gloomy
the lights had to be turned on
at the start of the fourth quar-
ter, Navy kept its position as the
No. team in the Nation on
ground defense. The Cavaliers
got only 81 yards on the ground.
Nays average yield until today
was 104.4 yards.
