The Trojans, without the services of three stars called to military duty last week, nevertheless outsmarted and outspeeded the big and powerful Sailors, ana passed them dizzy on a flanker play. The game was packed with sensational plays. The greatest was a 103-yard-dash to a touchdown from a kickoff in the third period by the Sailors' (Goose) White, fast-stepping halfback from La fSMesa, who used to perform his football chores at Texas Aggies.

Not that the Navy followers were without their anxious moments. For the first few minutes it seemed the proverbial luck of the Irish hovered over the field this hazy day. It was only a mirage, however, and once the Navy power had begun to itself, there seemed little doubt of the outcome save in the final half when Notre Dame at times threat-ened to pass its way into one of its traditional belated victories. NAVY SCORES FIRST The Middies scored twice in the first period and again in the third beforathe thwarted Irish could push across a counter. Navy came fight back with another touchdown in the fourth, saw the Irish match then powered across one more to put the game safely away.

It was power, power and more power that humbled the Irish. It mattered not which backs of trie horde on the Middle bench ware in the game.

Some 20,000 fans braved the occasional "showers and were rewarded with one of the best football games of the season.

The Coastguardmen were quoted as 4 to 1 favorites before the game and it was even money they would win by 13 points, yet they had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to put over the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. JOE STUART STARS The man who made it so close was little Joe Stuart who midway through the third period found a hole tackle and, threading hi! way through the Coast Guard secondary, sprinted 87 yards to- a touchdown that tied the score at six all. The play was nicely executed in tne Deginning ana mere was some sharp California blocking at the line of j5crirnmage, but once through' there Joe had to go it on his own.
