NAVY


fire the Navy offense when il
was Sagging badly.
Little. Dietz, a Standout with
the Navy l50-pound team last
season, never got going today
He completed two Of five passes
for 10 yards, and Coach Wayne
Hardin called on Spooner, q
6-foot, l70-pound thirds string
er last year.
Spooner. who had the start
ing berth sewed up until he in
jured his ankle three weeks age
in a Scrimmage, regained il
with a take-charge type of play
that included six completionS
in nine passes for 88 yards.
1t was a disappointing debut
for B. C. Coach Ernie Hefferle
who last year was line coach OF
the Redskins. The Eagles. with
a number of experienced hands
and a flock of highly rated
sophomores, are expecting to
have their best season in years
Next week, they play Army.
John Amabile, who ranked
18th among the Nations pass
ers last season, managed to
complete eight of II for ia
yards, but not without getting
Smeared repeatedly by Navy
hard-charging line.
Noteworthy up front for
Navy were Center Frank Visited
and Tackles Sid Driscoll and
Ron Erchul.
Navy's backs. too, got their
jolts from the likes of the B. c
linemen, including Tackle Lar
ry Eisenhauer and Guard Bill
Byrne.
Ex- Gonzaga Back Stars
Prichard returned the OPEN
ing kickoff 10 yards to the rs,
Bellino tore through left tackle
to the 81 and Fullback Joe Ma
talavage, a flrst-quarter cas-
ualty with a leg injury, went
around left end to the 36.
On the third play from Scrim-
mage, the Middies pulled of
their spellbinder, Bellino throw
ing and Prichard catching or
the B. C. 80. Prichard, 6-foot-3
185-pound Oklahoman, was ir
front of Sophomore Halfback
John Janas when he caught
the ball and romped over.
A surprise star for the Eagle!
today was John McGann, &
Sophomore halfback from
Washington's Gonzaga High
School. McGann helped set w
the B. c. touchdown when HI
burst l3 yards for a first dowr
on the Navy 8. A 13-yard rur
by the other halfback, Bot
Perreault, and a 14-yard pas,
from Amabile to Joe Sikorski
preceded McGann'S run.
McGann got the call agail
and made 3 yards to the 5 from
where Perreault slipped through
a hole on Navy's right side t,
score with 3::35 left in the frs
quarter. Joe Hutchinson bootet
the tying point.
The third quarter. was 1
minutes old before Navy coul,
break the deadlock. The 46
yard drive was highlighted b,
Spooner's passing-8 yards t
Frank Dattilo, II to Jim Luper
II to Luper. With the ball OF
the Eagles 3 and third down
