most Of them seeking a look at
Navy's highly-publicized half
back Joe Bellino.
Nobody demanded his money
back. Bellino. who runs like q
fast crab with automatic trans
scored two touchdownS
to raise his scoring production
to SO points this season. He
gained IS yards. almost twice
the yardage of the entire Penn
team; caught three passes for
50 yards, threw one pass for
seven yards and quick kicked
once for SO yards.
MataIavage Gains IS
Destructive, too, was the
work of Bellino's running mate,
Fullback Joe Matalavage, who
scored one touchdown and
gained IS yards. He carried 10
times, three more than Bellino.
The Middies scored one
touchdown in each quarter in
rolling to their sixth straight
win of the season over a Penn
team that got past midfield only
once.
The Middies went 81 yards in
10 plays for their first score
and II yards in 10 for the sec

Bellino's substitute. m aking
the last two yards. A 14-play
drive brought the last touch
down with only 80 seconds re-
naming.
The third touchdown provid-
ed the only heart-thumper Of
the day as Bellino scampered
26 yards for the score after
Payne Harrison set it up with
an interception.
Shreve Stands Out
For the Quakers, two stood
out in defeat-Porter Shreve,
the talented halfback from
Washington's st. Adams School,
and End Jon Greenwalt, q
Michigan boy who also is presi-
dent of the senior class.
Shreve, the tailback in PENIS
single wing, was the key fig
ure in PENIS only threat. He
intercepted a pass from Nays
Hal Spooner on his Is, returned
it 10 yards and then directed a
drive to the Navy 26. The gun
ending the half also ended
PENIS offensive. The Quakers
provided no more trouble.
Meanwhile, the MiddieS
weren't looking exactly like the
fourth-best team in the Nation,
a ranking they hold in the wire
service polls.
Navy was good enough to win
easily, but it was a game that
was as drab as the overcast sky.
Two Goals Missed
Besides scoring four times,
the Middies also tried two field
goals, a play they fell in love
with when it produced a last
minute. one-point victory over
Washington three weeks ago.
Greg Mather, hero of that VIC
tory, tried boots of As and At
yards today and didn't come
close.
Spooner, the 6-foot, IT'S
pound quarterback who passed
the Air Force dizzy last week,
completed six of IL for LOG
yards today.
His passing featured the drive
for the first touchdown, as he
threw to John Prichard for 9
yards twice, to Bellino for Is
yards and then elaborated
with Bellino for a screen job
that Melted "a yards.
-Jolting Joe, the short, square
pride of Winchester. Mass,
went over for that first touch
down twice, just to make sure.
He hurled over pile of linemen
from one yard out, fell back,
still on his feet, and then skirt
ed around the whole mess to put
Navy on the board after IL
minutes Of play. Mather kicked
the point and did likewise after
the next two touchdowns, but
he failed after the last one.
StrObach Drives
Nays second unit, with
Strobach the workhorse, got the
second touchdown. OF the 10
plays needed for the Al yards,

New Yorker. carried six times,
once for 8 yards. Fullback
Ron McKeown made Q yards
of left tackle, and Harry
Dietz passed to Mather for 8
yards. These we're the big plays.
Strobach dived over right
guard for the touchdown at
2:04 Of the second quarter.
Harrison intercepted a pass
by Shreve and was dumped on
the spot. the Penn 20, midway
in the third quarter. ON the
