SECTION 4 BASEBALL THE COURIERJOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1945. FOOTBALL Navy Blasts Till anova 49-0; Scott Tallies 2 football triumph that was not Army Punctures Comets' Scrappy Line for 32-0 Win Robert Hoernschemeyer, the oli Indiana flash, was master-mind-Ins the Navy eleven nnd teaming up with Scott in the scoring antics. After that, as an endless stream of substitutions confronted the Villanovans, it became a real battle for two periods. Annapolis, Sept. 29 Clyde Scott, the kid from Smack-over, dynamited Villnnova's Wildcats with two touchdowns in the first six minutes of play today and Navy's Midshipmen shuffled along in record-breaking September heat to an easy 49-0 quite as impressive an the score.

Lifting the curtain on its version of the T-formation for the first time, Comdr. Oscar Hag-berg's Sailor outfit looked like a championship club only for the first 14 minutes of the game when vhrs xJ The Army, like the top team it is, made the most of its scoring opportunities. It had five chances and accepted all of them. On seven other occasions the ball moved to P.D.C. territory but only a few yards.

The Comets invaded Army's domain only twice and never advanced farther than the 36-yard line. Davis opened the scoring with a spectacular 87-yard run in the first quarter, picking his way through tacklers with the grace of a Pavlowa. McWilliams scored the second on a 2-yard plunge after Bob Stuart set things up by returning a punt to the 25-yard mark. Davis had to make two trips of more than half the field for the third touchdown. He picked up a fumbled ball and raced 55 yards to the end zone only to be called back.

Then on the next play he took a pass from Dick Walter-house for the same distance. McWilliams crashed from the 5-yard line again late in the fourth frame after a punt exchange gave Army the ball on the 20. Blanchard tabbed the finale on a flip from Davis after Fuson had established a beachhead by intercepting a P.D.C. lateral on the 40. 7Tfi FLORSHEIM fjl vvV 'J J' 1 i Our personnel boys, dubbed the personality kids by the Hudson howitzers, chose to remain on the defensive throughout but it was the most aggressive defense you ever saw and the count remained just 19-0, a very close tab for the Army, until the closing minutes of the final quarter.

The Army, switching teams with each quarter, scored one touchdown in the first, two in the second, none in the third and two in the fourth. Only two of the five extra point kicks were successful. This didn't mean a thing today but it may later in a tighter tussle. See Ruby'' Report on Page 6. 'In actual yards gained, Army covered 370 yards and the Comets 171 but our side didn't compare so favorable on ground work.

Army Vushed the ball 257 yards and the P.D.C. a total of 46. But in the air the score was 125 to 113 for our side. The P.D.C. boys made good seven of 11 passes and the Cadets only six of 17.

Our flinger is Ray Hammett, former Stanford quarterback, who can hit a gnat at 50 yards. His competitor in the flipping business was ail-American Glenn Davis and he didn't suffer by comparison. James Strausbaugh, former Ohio State and professional halfback, James Castiglia, former Georgetown University and Philly Eagles luminary, and Dick Plas-man, former Vandy and Chicago Bears wingman, also were outstanding for P.D.C. But the Army not only showed virtually all its stars of last year but several new men who may be even better. Glenn Davis and Felix "Doc" Blanchard, Coach Earl Blaik's two ail-Americans, were the big difference in the two teams, but in addition there was Dewitt R.

By EARL RUBY. Ceorier-Jonrnal Sports Editor. West Point, N. Sept. 29.

Louisville's air force Personnel Distribution Command football team played a whale of a defensive game here today and held Army's powerhouse to a 32-0 score. The struggle was as rough and rugged as football can be and the slim crowd of perhaps 5,000 yelled uproariously from start to finish. Certainly the Army saw that our personnel was well distributed but absorbed a lot of punishment in the operation. The contest was Army's opener and Louisville's second, a sort of warm up the boys it for their first home game in Louisville at du Pont Stadium Sunday against the high-flying Third Air Force. REAL SCRAP The game proved two things: (1) that Army once more had the No.

1 collegiate or service team in America provided it can develop some extra-point kickers, and (2) the P.D.C. Comets lack only teamwork and timing in measuring with the 1944 champions. The Army may be held to a tighter tally during the season but it will never face a harder fight than it had today. of six for 10 yards. The Wildcats intercepted two Bearcat passes while Cincinnati failed to register an interception.

The punting of George Blanda, Kentucky Quarterback I a irom Youngwood, was a highlight of the game. 'With most Wildcat kicks originating off Blanda's toe, Kentucky averaged 43 yards on punts from scrimmage. Kentucky recovered two Cincinnati fumbles and the Bearcats recovered four of Kentucky's.

Francescho. Hubharri Alfnn rittrilav Fechter. Lexington, Sept. 29. Lanky, swivel hipped Jim Barnett led the "University of Kentucky Wildcats to a 13-7 victory over the University of Cincinnati Bearcats here tonight iq a closely-contested game played before approximately 11,000 fans.

Barnett, the Huntington, W. speedster, intercepted a pass early in the final quarter with the Bearcats on top by a score of 7-0, and sped 32 yards to account for the first of the 'Wildcats' two markers. Late in the final stanza, the blonde bombshell found a big hole in the center of the Cincinnati line and galloped 59 yards for the second and last Wildcat score. The Wildcats, in accounting for their first victory of the current season, made eight first downs and gained a total of 205 yards. The Bearcats racked up nine first downs and made a net total of 126 yards.

Barnett, who weighs only 160 pounds and is doubtless one of the lightest fullbacks in the South, has accounted for all three touchdowns tallied by the Cats so far this season. He scored the Blue and White's lone touchdown in the Ole Miss game last week, won by the Rebels 21-7. Before the Wildcats and Barnett got going in the final period, it looked like the Kentuckians were going to score only a statistical triumph while the fruits of victory were going to be enjoyed by the visitors. The Kentuckians pulled up short on three scoring opportunities, twice in the second quarter and again early in the third, and then saw Cincinnati punch back for what loomed the game's only touchdown shortly before the close of the third quarter.
