lping the drive with his Is
yard sprint down the sidelines
after. taking q handof and
Icutting inside his right end.
When Navy got the ball the
next time, the Middies moved
So yards, the last AZ Of which
were reeled OF by Bellino after
breaking over his right tackle.
lGreg Mather broke even on
his extra-point kicks, and it
was 1870, with all the pressure
lon Army.
So hopeless did Army's first
unit appear that before the
first period was over Coach
Hall yanked all except Bob
Anderson, the rugged speedboy
from Cocoa, Fla.
Joe Caldwell, the 165-pound
Quarterback who was de-
scribed by Col. Red Blaik, his
fold coach, as the best passer in
the country, had a particularly
bad time. In the first quarter
he missed all six of his passes.
and he wound up with only six
completions in % throws.
Army pulled itself together
at the opening Of the second
period and cut the score to
1886, thanks to Navy's over
eagerness. Anderson fumbled
and Ron Erchul, Middle tackle,
fell on the ball Just inside the
Cadets territory. But on the
play an offside penalty was
called and Army retained pos
session. paving the way for a
slightly tainted 5S-yard scoring
move.
Although it wasn't Cald-
wells day, the Huck Finn of
the Army backfield did climax
the thrust with an 11-yard
pass to Capt. Bill Carpenter,
who sneaked behind Brand
quist on the fourth-down ef-
fort.
Caldwell's pass enabled him
to break Glenn Davis all-time
West Point record for total
offense. Davis ran and passed
for l,1S2 yards in 1945, and
Caldwell, who went into today's
60th service classic 7 yards
behind. wound up his career
with a total Of 1888.
Tranchini Joins Act
No sooner did Army appear
to be back in the game than
Navy doused the favorite's
hopes again by taking the next
kickoff and going 66 yards to
make it 21-6. Hardin, who
started three halfbacks plus
Quarterback Tranchini, put
Joe Matalavage in the fray
and the hard-hitting fullback
from Mahanoy City, Pa,
played a big part.
Bellino and Matalavage alter
mated in carrying the ball until
the Middies reached the IL
yard line. At this point the
third Joe in the backfield,
Tranchini, decided to join the
act on a big scale
Tranchini, who completed 81
Of is passes for lit yards,
faxed beautifully, kept the ball |
at his hip, and on a bootleg |
play that would have done |
credit to a pro, ran his left end
and scooted down the sidellnes
to score. By way Of a flip,
Tranchini called on Mather to
fake an extra-point kick and
again he kept the ball. Rising
from his knee. Joe passed to |
End George Beck in the end
zone for a 2-pointer, leaving |
Army a prohibitive is points |
behind.
Army didn't concede by a
long shot. With matters look
ing as bleak as the skies, the
Cadets charged back on the
next kickoff TO narrow the mar
gin to 2l-12. They got a couple
OF big assists from the Navy
players, who were charged with
tackling Anderson with too
much enthusiasm.
Fouls Help Cadets |
Army marched So yards to
get its second touchdown, but
80 Of those resulted from per-
sonal fouls against the Cadets.
After Carpenter had returned
Mather's kick to his 81, Ander-
son ran for 9 yards. Navy
tacklers piled on him and the
ball was moved to the Middies'
38. Six nlavs later Navv tack-
