Ton Uave to Pay the Price Cagle Was a Thrilling Backhand He Had Flat Feet By EARL H. BLAIK With Tim Cohane I doubt if there was ever a more thrilling back to watch than Chris (Red) Cagle. He was born in De Ridder, May 1, 1905. Before entering the Academy in 1926, he had been the nation's fifth highest scorer at Southwestern Louisiana Institute. Those who saw Cagle play can see him just as clearly today, I am certain, across the three decades.

He ran with speed, power, elusive-ness and great instinct. He was equally dangerous to right or left. As a cutback artist, he was superb. He ran with long strides, and like all the best cutback runners I've known, he had flat feet. He 8 was dynamic on the option run or pass.

He might fake once, twice, three times before throwing the ball or tucking it away and taking off. If tacklers threatened to inundate him, he broke away from them in backward diagonals until he could enflank or otherwise elude them and turn up the field again. He knew how to spread the defense all over the field, and when he had them spread, how he could cut them up! Red wore his chin strap playing hare and hounds with tacklers, Cagle often lost his helmet. The roaring crowd would roar even' louder at the familiar sight of his crisp, curly auburn hair. A handsome lad he was.

Not that they needed to see the hair or even his No. 12 to know who it was. From the moment he took the snap and began moving, there could be no mistaking him. When I say I coached Cagle, it is merely to make the comparison with Doc Blan- chard and Glenn Davis. There was nothing much I could give him.

He had it all. If there was some littla point to make to him, I had to tell him only once, because he had a naturally absorptive football mind. He also possessed the truly gifted player's instinct for teamwork, and threw his 178 pounds and five feet, eleven inches into hard blocking and tackling. I recall a practice turning sour one night because our wingback was permitting the tackle to burst through repeatedly and down Cagle. Red grew increasingly, if quietly, irritated.

Finally he switched positions with the wingback and showed him how to block the tackle. Cagle was a quiet, modest fellow with a fine sense of humor, by preference a listener more than a talker. He must have had an awareness of truly exceptional ability, but he always kept it to himself, I think it was this genuine modesty, added to his talent, that made him even a bigger man to his teammates and opponents than he was to the sellout crowds and the press that hailed him. When we beat Navy, 14-9, at the Polo Grounds in 1927, Cagle sparked the drives, but Harry Wilson scored the touchdowns. It was the last game for Wilson, captain of the team, and when the ball got near the goal line, Cagle refused to carry.

"Wilson," Red told Spike Nave, "scores the touchdowns today."

But except for Bellino's 26-yard sweep of right end following a Navy interception in the third period, Penn made the Middies work hard for their touchdowns.

Bellino crashed over from the one to cap a 61-yard march in the first period. His sub, Walt Strobach, drove across from the two at the end of a 41-yard advance in the second. And first-string fullback Joe Matalavage, getting his biggest work out of the season, barely made it from a foot out in the closing seconds on his ninth carry of a 68-yard push. Offensively, Penn did practically nothing in the game and considerably less than nothing until making its one scoring bid late in the first half. An offside penalty, nullifying a 39-yard run to the Navy two by soph fullback Mike ftuggieri, wrecked that.

But Penn, after a woeful first period, bounced back to hold its own through most of the second quarter and the first half of the third until an interception, by Navy's Bob Hardison set up Bellino's second TD. Penn, suffering its third shutout of the season, spent almost the entire first half inside its 20-yard line. The first five times the Penns had the ball, they ran 12 times for minus 14 yards and threw three incomplete passes. The sixth time following an interception by Porter Shreve of Hal Spooner's deflected pass deep in Penn territory the Continued on Page 8, Column 7 By FRANK DOLSON' Navy protected its unbeaten football record, Joe Bellino bolstered his All-American reputation and Penn earned a game-ending ovation at Franklin Field Saturday. Only the latter was unexpected.

The Middies, rated the East's No. I team, scored once in each period to beat Penn for the last time, 27-0. But the losers appeared happier than the winners when it was over. Navy's sixth straight victory was "our least satisfying," according to coach Wayne Hardin. Penn helped to make it that way with a surprisingly strong defensive effort.

"We don't think we played one of our better games," said Hardin. "It's tough to get up when you're supposed to win by three or four touchdowns." "We have nothing to hang our heads about," figured Penn coach John Stiegman, whose outmanned squad escaped with a minimum of injuries and a maximum of honor in its last meeting with a big-time foe. "I thought the team did a good job." So did most of the 26,123 fans, who showed up prepared for the worst in the finale of a long, often exciting rivalry. Bellino, Navy's shifty left halfback, lived up to his advance billing by giving the Ivy Leaguers fits. He scored twice, gained 85 yards in 16 carries, caught three passes for 62 yards, completed his only' toss for seven, ran back two (MATHER- (N)j1 7 A miPTZ Ml FITZGERALD (Nfl Magic-Eye Photos by Robert L.

The 5-10, 165-pound senior from Old Orchard Beach, ran the final four yards for the touchdown and Dave Gouldin added the extra point.
