Nov. 26. The Navy football cfft was having what you might call "bon voyage" over the first leg of the course up at the Polo Grounds thla afternoon. The weather was fine. The water was smooth.

Everything was very nice, indeed, and at least half the crowd of 75,000 spectators lining the shores 'neath Coogan's. cliffs were lustily expressing the hope that the boys would make port victory all O.

That frantie first few minutes of the-game, saw the Pacific Coast Conference's leading representatives shoot across a-score, before the 'spectators had settled in their seats in Soldier Field.

It saw Morley Drury, the great backfield threat of the Trojans, slip on the skiddy turf while, attempting to kick the goal, after Saunders had carried a forward pass across the Irish goal line on a forward pass from this same Drury. It saw those Fighting Irish battle back from that figurative slam on the chin, forge into the lead, and a hold a one point margin, doggedly and determinedly, through the furious three and a fraction periods that followed. In the ranks of the heroes of Notre Dame, place Ray Dahman, all by himself. It was Dahman's spectacular catch of a forward pass, twenty-four yards down the field from Charley Riley, that made -the touchdown what it was today. And it was Dahman's well placed kick that sent the ball flying between the goal posts for the precious seventh point that brought dismay to Southern California.

From all over these United States, from boys," commented a grizzled Army officer, with a sigh of relief, as Cagle and Wilson broke out with two touchdowns.
