Army's awesome football forces turned on the power in the second half to crush Michigan under an avalanche of touchdowns and run up a 27 to 6 score on the Big Ten co-champions before 67,076 in Yankee Stadium yesterday. An upset of majestic proportions appeared in the making when the Wolverines, fighting like their namesake to avenge three previous defeats by the Cadets, scored first in the opening quarter and barely missed a field goal which would have put them in front again early in the third period. But then the big Army machine began to roll, spearheaded by a bruising 190-pound fullback named Al Pollard from Los Angeles. 2 IN 5 MINUTES And before the shouting crowd well knew what was happening.

the West Pointers had smashed across three touchdowns in a matter of five minutes and threatened to turn the game into a one-tided rout. Chuck Ortmann, Michigan's all-American halfback candidate, played all the way and played brilliantly. He was the heart and soul of the Michigan attack which rocked the nation's No. 1 team; on its haunches for a half. But in the end he wasn't enough to turn the tide, and the Army) eleven strengthened its claim to premier ranking among the country's college teams.

THUNDEROUS POWER Although Pollard, the heralded yearling from the West Coast scored only one of Army's four touchdowns, it was the thunderous power with which he battered down the Michigan wings in the third period which turned the course of the conflict and sent the Cadets bowling towards another victory in their string of 23 games without defeat. Up to the time Pollard began throwing his 190 pounds off the tackles and around the wings, Michigan's stout defense had thwarted Army's attack except for one quick thrust late in the second quarter. After Pollard had softened them up, the Wolverines were beaten. It was only a question of how high the score would mount. POLLOCK OVER TWICE Vic Pollock, a 160-pound Junior halfback, scored two of Army's touchdowns, driving across each time from one yard out.

Jack Martin, a scampering runner sii afternoon, scored another on a 37-yard pass from Bob Blaik, quarterback son of the Army coach, EarL Pollard's score came on a 12-yard sweep around Michigan's left end. The Wolverines, entering tha gamas 10-point underdogs, demonstrated from the start that they had no intention of being sacrificial lambs. They piled the Cadets back on their heels the first two times the Pointers got the ball, and the second time they hit Jim Cain, Army's first string halfback, so hard that he fumbled. Tony Momsen recovered for Michigan on the Army 36, and in six plays, Ortmann drove the scrapping team from Ann Arborj (Continued on Page 2 D) i 4 si AJ i Sunday Proa Photo by Konccny. GRAVITY TAKES A HOLIDAY Jim Franklin, North Hig defensive back floats up into the air to bat Ted Barry pass away from Jim Broomhal! (42) who seems stranded two feet in the air.

Franklin's slap at the ball knocked it into the mitts of Ralph Frey (83) who ran it back 15 yards. Other North players are Joe Garbarino (70) and George Lesso (77). EFA won the North field game, 27-1 5. straight games in easy style after throwing back a desperate Central attack on the 1-yard line. Here was the key to the entire ball game.

The score was 7-0 against them as a result of Decker's 60-yard run, but the Bulldogs, showing more fight and hustle than they have in recent years, drove to JCs 1-yard stripe early in the second quarter. HALTED ON THE ONE They had four downs in which to rdake that one yard, but the rugged JC forward wall threw itself together and tossed three Bulldog line stabs back to the '7-yard stripe. Then reserve end Joe Kvassay stepped into the picture and inter cepted a fourth-down Central aerial and lugged it back to his own 45-yard line. That ended Central's first and only threat. The Bulldogs had shot their bolt.

What would have happened had Central scored, is a matter for the Saturday night quarterbacks. They might have made a game of it. But matter of fact Is Central never again gained the offensive power that she had shown in that drive, and the "Cats, like the champions they are raced to three more touchdowns. GALATIS FLIPS FOR SCORE Johnson City made it 13-0 by in termission by shaking Joe Nie- meyer loose for a 15-yard touch down romp, and then scored two six-pointers in quick succession in the third frame. A 25-yard pass from Christy Ga-latis to Don Dietrickson made it TD No.

3 and a few seconds later Decker reeled off his sparkling 85-yard touchdown dash that concluded the scoring. latter score was probably the most scintillating of the bunch. Pat Pignatelli of Central had booted the ball over Decker's head and he picked the leather up on his own 15. He was hit hard after traveling 10 yards, but somehow he spun out of the grasp of his would-be and, by picking yP the necessary blockers and cutting sharply he was off and running. RUNS 60 ON 'SPECIAL His 60-yard dash came on a pitchout from Galatis a play that coach Ed Butkus had given them earlier in the week especially for the Central game.

Decker, one of the fastest men in the Southern Tier, simply out-sped the Bulldogs, racing wide around his own left end. The play came after eight minutes and 40 seconds had elapsed, (Continued on Page 4 D) Mat Footlball SCHOLASTIC FOOTBALL tnion-Endicott 20, Elmira SS 14. Johnson City 26, Central 0. EFA 27, North 15.

It was Endicott on the ground and Southside via the aerial route as the teams battled on almost even terms throughout the contest with the Hornets taking a slight edge in the statistics, but Coach Ty Cobb's eleven had the all-important points. BLOCKS OWN PUNT There was very little action in the opening quarter, shortly after the start of the second stanza the Orange and Black got the first break of the game.

Fullback Bill Hogan backed into Tony Weaver as he was kicking on fourth down, blocking the boot and Stan Binkewicz recovered on the 15 for U-E. However, U-E couldn't capitalize on this break and ESS took over on downs. After ah exchange of punts, the Hornets came to life and marched 80 yards for the first score.

The impressive win set up Free Academy as the No. 1 challenger to Johnson City, who like EFA is unbeaten in four starts this year. Until yesterday coach Vic 1m-peciato's Bolt- from the Blue Devils had been unscored-on.

FIRST SINCE '48 The defeat was the first North had suffered at North Field since 1948.

The 27 points were the most ever scored on a Gordy O'Reilly-coached North team. Berry was far from alone In glitter. In the two minutes of play that ended the first period, his two halfbacks ran a total of 167 yards in two plays. Floyd Wilcox, who was out all last year with an injury but has recovered to become the Blue's leading ground gainer, intercepted a Joe Tino pass on his five and raced 95 yards without a hand nearing him only to have an offside penalty on Jerry Cady nullify the play. EFA stopped a 70-yard North drive at that point, however, and the second play after they got the ball, Billy Myers, a whirler who never played football until this, his senior year, got outside right end and rocketed 72 yards for the score.

BERRY GOES ALL WAY Two plays later a North pas bounced high in the air off an intended receiver and Berry gathered it in on the North 47, cut to his left and went all the way. Dick Vockroth, the No. 4 sprinter had added the first conversion but this one was blocked. North was anything but dead at this point. And well they might have been after three successive jolts from what Olean coach John O'Neill terms "the fastest high school backfield I've ever seen." But Dick Ransom, who wouldn't stop for less than five yards in the first half but whose defensive work in the line lowered his effectiveness in the later stages, chased EFA back to its 13 on a punt.

A clipping penalty put it on the 1. Big Jack Duhl, a good center all day, had to jump for the pass from center as he attempted to punt out and his rear foot clipped the chalk marking the rear of the end zone. That made it 13-2. Duhl's free kick was taken by George Lesso on his 36 and Lesso almost went the route, beinp finally shouldered out on the EFA 29. Eight plays later, it was fourth and five on the EFA nine.

Garbarino split the left side of his line and made the five with plenty to spare, diving into the end zone. His kick was bad. Then 'Berry started passing. He hit Wilcox for six and then he hit Jim Broomhall on a looping 22-yarder that would have been a TD had not Ralph Frey hit (Continued on Pace 5 D) Holy Cross Dumped By 35-28 By JACK SLATTERY Sunday Press Sports Editor Alan Egler was good, as was expected. Charlie Maloy was good, as was expected.

But an unheralded back by the name of Td Totten was terrific. In addition to being terrific he was the difference between the Colgate Red Raiders and the Holy Cross Crusaders. His superb running enabled the Raiders to defeat Holy Cross, 35-28. The score was the same as last year's between the two schools. The difference being that the Crusaders were on the long end of the score last year.

After seven minutes of the third period. Holy Cross tied the score, 21-21, on a pass from Maloy to Tom McCann. It was then that Terrific Ted took over. OUT IN FRONT The slick-hipped sophomore took a hand off from Ted Stratton and sped 65 yards down the sidelines to put the Chenango Valley Crew out in front, 28-21. It was one minute after Mc Cann catch had tied the score.

Two minutes and 57 seconds later he scampered across the Crusader goal line after a 17-yard thrust off tackle. Ed Lomato's conversion, one of five, moved the Raiders into a comfortable 35-21 lead. The win gave the 7,000 wildly cheering fans something to holler about. It was the first time Colgate had won two in a row since 1946. Egler and Totten gained a lion's share of the 450 total yards gained rushing by the winners.

Egler ground out 215 in 36 tries and Totten sped his way to a 178-yard total for 22 tries. CONSTANT THREAT Totten wasn't particularly effective in the first half, but Egler slashed his way up the middle and darted around the ends making himself a constant torment to the visitors from Massachusetts. Totten's effectiveness was undoubtedly increased because of the constant threat to the Crusader goal line created by the mere presence of Egler in the Colgate back-field. For the Crusaders, It was an 18-year-old sophomore in the T-for-mation quarterback position that (ConUnued on Pace 2D) D. 22 111 314 140 27 13 31 8 20 1 1 4 43 36 1 -2 112 tJ (' i r- 1 5 V- I-.

Syracuse rolled for its first touchdown In the opening minutes of the game in a nine-play march from its own 25-yard line. The Orange ran the Nittany Lions ragged for the rest of the half but failed to score.

The Orange squad exploded In the third period and tallied three touchdowns on three runs, totaling 171 yards. Avatus Stone, Syracuse's sopho-omore defensive safety man, ran 85 yards on an intercepted pass for one of the Orange's four tallies, and set the stage for two other scores by intercepting Penn State passes.
