27 An understudy became -a hero today ss Army sanx Navy, 6-0, in the mud, rain and fog of Municipal Stadium. "Big Jim" Craig, reserve back for the famed "Monk" Meyer in the '35 and '36 classics, hurlro ail his 170 pounds info the Middy line late in the opening period. The Sailor forward wall buckled, then broke, as Jim i catapaulted a yard and a half to th touchdown which brought the i Soldiers sweet victory before a crowd of 102,281 largest anywhere this season. It was second down when "Biz Jim" sitting on the side lines, was called into the game. On his first play he took the ball from Center I Frank Hartline and smashed off hi own right tackle.

He was a half yard from home when the Navy line tried to stiffen. For a split second it held. Then it broke as Craig took the second step that carried him over the line and sent his name winging around the world to Army and Navy men listening to the classic by radio. Sailors Held in Check The game might just as well have ended there, because Army's rugged defense tightened, and, with the! going heavy, it threw back every Navy assault, yards and yards away from pay dirt The Sailors, trying to duplicate their victory here last year, got into West Point territory only three timps, and all those drives came Thrills of Radio!

Pitt today added one of the Queen elevens of the South.

There was not much more territory left to be tested, unless it be California's Golden Bears and the Rose Bowl. And if the truth be known, the Panthers were not thinking about that tonight. There was all the color and pageantry traditional to football below the Mason-Dixon line in the Stadium of the Blue Devils today. Dut there was also a deadening rain which neutralized the gay colors of the crowd, turned the field into a treacherous table of mud and, unquestionably, was a handicap to both sides. The rain, which fell at intervals and was driven into the ODen end of the horseshoe' bv a strong wind, cut the throne- to 40 000 five thou sand less than had been expected and slightly below the all-time at- 1 tendance mark in the South.

I.iiientnan -'alvin 1 Bolster Pittsburgh tackling: and a show of defense on the part of the Duke rushline that was as unrelenting as any the Panthers have seen this year, or any other, for that matter. Pitt Reserves Stand Up The Panthers won, first, because they had it in them to seize two breaks of the game in the form of fumbles by Quarterback Elmore Hackney, and.

again because the second team came to the rescue when the first found itself continually bogging down. It was Frank Souchak, who served as captain today as he brought his playing days to an end. who kicked in the first three points in the opening quarter with a goal from the 23-yard line that had to fight the small sized gale to make its way to the cross bar. It was "Dandy Dick" Cassiano. the sophomore understudy to "Mad" Marshall Goldberg, who scored the touchdown in the second quarter, cutting through Duke's left tackle from the 13-yard stripe and reversed the secondary to race across with not a Blue Devil within diving distance.

Souchak came off the bench to add the seventh point with a perfect placement kick. Duke appeared to have made up its collective mind to shackle Goldberg at all costs, and for the most part it was successful, but the Elkins Hill Biily did have his moments. He broke away once in the first period for 18 yards. Late in the game he raced past the right flank for another gain of 27 yards. Chiefly, however, the game was marked by the exceptional punting cf Duke's Eric Tipton and Pitt's Frank Patrick and Bill Stapulis; the play of both lines; the Blue Devils' readiness to gamble despite the slippery ball and the work of Cassiano Stapulis.

Hudgins and Fischer were outstanding ends today, Yorke was more than an ordinary tackle, and Hackney and his replacement, George McAfee of Ironton, backs of whom Duke might well be proud. The Blue Devils were as full of tricks as a magician's sleeve. They passed from a short punt formation, irom a single wing, and when they appeared committed to punt, it didn't make much difference to them where they were or what the down. especially as the second half wore (Continued on Page 4) Here Are the Figures Dl KK First down Yards cained rtishitK tVO Yards Inst rushint Net yardaxe rushint Forward passes attempted. .31 Forwards completed Yards sained forwards KM Forwards intercepted Laterals attempted I'ITT 2.1 5 4 I 4 i i Hmber of punts.

Watta Boy! De Correvont, Chicago Lad, Thrills 110,000 In Soldier Field Game i'v The United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 27 Blond Bill De Correvont, best publicized of the nation's prep football players, paced fcis Austin Iliffh School tram to a 26-0 victory over Leo before more than 110,000 fans in Soldier Field today. Most of the crowd, largest ever to see a high school same here, had turned out to see the scoring De Correvont.

He rewarded them by racing across the goal for three touchdowns and by throwing a pass, for another. De Correvont's touchdowns brought his season's scoring total to 204 points. The blond halfback, who was 19 years old yesterday, has scored at least one touchdown in every regular season game he has played for four years. Evan Kelly, Chief of Special Service Division of Chicago's Park District, said the crowd was larger than the reputed 112,000 at the Army-Navy game in' 1926. De Correvont's running- and passing gave Austin the City Prep championship.

He scored first on a brilliant 47-yard run through a broken field; he plunged over from the one for the second score; in the third quarter he returned tn the game after a brief rest and plowed to a touchdown from the three. After that, he passed 23 yards to a teammate for the fourth Austin touchdown. Grid Scores COLLEGE Pittsburgh 10 Army 6 Fordham 20 Columbia 0 Holy Cross 20 Notre Dame 13 J.

27 Columbia's blue shirted footballers, buffeted about this season by most of the good teams of the East, rose today to prove that no matter who else beats them. Stanford can't. The Red Raiders from the Pacific Slope had to be satisfied with a scoreless tie in their and probably final meeting, with the Lion, before 20,000. The two teams sloshed and slipped through 60 minutes of mud-smeared thrills, which saw almost every kind of football play except the winning kind. They raced up and down the i field in circus drives, but each was stopped short of scoring.

There was little to choose between them. Columbia marched to Stan ford six and lost on downs. Stan- iora was witnin signt oi scoring i four times. Stanford fumbled six times, Columbia not once which may be the best explanation of what happened. In the late minutes Columbia had what looked like the opportunity of the game when big Bill Paulman.

The powerful Red line, outweighing Columbia 20 pounds, drove back two rushes but Sid Luckman, 60-minute seige gun of the Columbia backfield, ploughed to the six. On fourth down.

Stanford smeared a lateral and took the ball.

Here are the greats who Saturday alter Saturday stood out above their fellows on college gridirons, whose play earned them the game's highest honor the name of All-America. These names for the football Hall' of Fame are the choices of the men who really know the game, who see behind "grandstand plays" and "lucky breaks," who know not only who is foremost on the fields of battle but why. NEA's football immortals were chosen by the nation's leading coaches, the men who have the best opportunity to see the athletes in action, the mast ability to select the really great from the merely flashy.

A surprisingly wide distribution of nil-star talent appears in the final analysis with the east landing three positions, the midwest, south, and far west two each and the southwest and Rocky Mountain region one apiece. It perhaps is the first time since th. late Walter Camp got out of the ivy -sprinkled Big Three that the usually all-powerful Western Conference goes unrepresented on the first string.
