PETERSEN, PHILADELPHIA. (UP). Navy's dismal football ship sank into the turf of Philadelphia's municipal Saturday as Army closed out another successful gridiron season with a 21 to 0 victory over its honored, ancient but inefficient rival. It was a glorious triumph for an Army yard touchdown drive midway In the second period. Bob Aekerman set up the march which followed the Beavers' first touchdown, by darting back 27 yards with a punt to the Oregon State 35-yard line.

Quick stabs by Aekerman and Mueller carried to the 23. Acker-man skidded around end for nine yards to the 15. Two plunges by Adams missed fire, so Quarterback Dick Thompson slipped thru himself for a first down on the 12. HULA-HIPPED Bill Mueller then found an eyelet at right tackle, sidestepped several defenders and charged to a touchdown that briefly kindled Husker hopes. Bob Patton's conversion was blocked by huge Hal Puddy.

The Huskers trailed by a single point and the cause seemed not far lost The hopeful crowd, however, did not know that the Huskers' anti-aircraft guns were Jammed for the day. Mr. Gray saw to It personally that the host were sufficiently flak-happy during the remaining two periods.

Kansas' Jayhawks, co-cham-lons with Oklahoma for the second straight year, landed four first team berths. Oklahoma and Missouri, third in the final standings each placed three men and Nebraska one. The coaches of the conference and sports writers who co-operated in selecting the mythical elevens could see eye-to-eye on only two men, Halfback Ray Evans and End Otto Schwell-bacher, both of Kansas. A unique feature of the first team Is the presence of two centers. John Rapacc, 213-pound Oklahoma Junior, was assigned the slot, but Nebraska's Thomas Novak got such stronk support that he couldn't be overlooked.

Novak, who the first mythical eleven as a freshman fullback In. 1946, was placed at a guard. The 205-pounder from Omaha, was the hardest hitting tackier in the conference. Evaps, who completed his collegiate career as a three-time all-star, was recognized by many experts as one of the greatest all-around backs ever developed ieam wnicn strucK quickly for touchdowns In each of the first three periods to bury even deeper into the football lands a Navy club that has known nothing but disaster in thli field linee 1943, IT REALLY wasn't much of a football game, for after a threatening first quarter drive, Navy never showed the skill and savvy which would have been necessary to beat an Army club that was determined to end iU season on a successful note. Neither the Cadeta nor Midshipmen were going anywhere, but It was the gridiron show of the year for In the crowd or 101,500 was President and Mr.

Truman and all the cold and brass of the armed services. It was the finale of one of the most disastrous seasons Navy ever has known, for it was the seventh loss against a single victory and a tie. AND WHILE it wasn't an all-victorious year for Army which had its four year winning streak broken this season it was the triumph they wanted most In the victory were forgotten the defeats by Columbia and Notre Dame and the ties by Illinois snd Penn. This was the fame the Cadets wanted most of all and they got It because of a mercury-filled end by the name of BUI Helium of Eastland. Tex.

It was Kellum, an obscure player all year, who led the Cadets to their triumph. He had help aplenty, but he was more than Navy could handle. WHEN IT still was ahybbdy ball game, he took a pass from Rip Rowan, who was a mighty fine back this gray and chilly afternoon, in the Navy end rone for the first Army score. And then, when Navy was driving for what looked like might be the tylnr points and was stopped by a flf htlnr Army line, he threw the key block which enabled Rowan to race 92 yards for the second Army score. Another end, Jack Trent, also a southern boy who like Rowan hails from Memphis, gave Army its third touchdown when he intercepted a Navy pass on the Middies' 18-yard line and went all the way for a score.

Army's All-America guard, Joe Steffy, accounted for all the extra points. Lineups: Navy Market Htrahlfy Kmvraun if Bcott e. Bchiweck rn.

Bay-amner. Earl. Kansas Pounds Arizona TUCSON, Ariz. VP). With Ray Evans playing a part in six touchdowns, Kansas University overwhelmed the University of Arizona, 54 to 28, Saturday night to win their last game before meeting Georgia Tech in Via rirnnap "Rnu1 nn Now Ypnr's Day.

Fred Enke, salvaged a bit of glory for Arizona by passing for three touchdowns and running for another to permit the Wildcats to score twice as many points as any other Kansas opponent this season. Kansas was unbeaten but was tied twice. THE JAYHAWKS soared into an early leaa in tne wua scoring contest with a pair oi converted first quarter touchdowns. Arizona came back in- the, second, matching the visitors a pair of touchdowns, then dropped behind again in the third when the Jay-hawks shoved across their fifth touchdown. In the final period, the Jay-hawks scored three times and Arizona twice as the Wildcats tried desperately, but unsuccessfully, to keep pace with their bowl-bound foes.

EVANS and Enke. a pair of All-America candidates, waged a o-man offensive battle till the Kansas star was called from the fray early in the fourth quarter. Enke'g net Rain of 357 yards Saturday night moved him into second position in total offense in the nation and left him within striking distance of Charley Conerly of Mississippi for the lead. He completed 18 of 22 attempted passes for 288 yards and added another 69 rushing. Evans completed six out of ten passenfor '68 yards and rushed for 106 yards for 174 yards Evans scored two touchdowns but played an important role in-all but two of the long Kansas marches.

Arizona's defense couldn't stop the tricky offense of the co-champions of the Big Six conference and could stop only four Kansas drives in the entire game.

Southern Methodist stormed back with only 20 seconds to play Saturday to tie Texas Christian 19-19 in one of the thrillers of Southwest Conference history. A crowd of more than 30,000 that overflowed TCU stadium watched the great Doak Walker keep Southern Methodist in the ranks of the undefeated. It was Walker who scored two touchdowns and kicked an extra point to give the Metriodists a 13-12 lead at the end of the third period and it was Walker who's great kick-off return of 55 yards put Southern Methodist in position to score that dramatic touchdown that kept the Mustangs unbeaten in 10 games.

Florida spotted Kansas State a one-point halftime lead and then smeared the Wildcats, 25-7, with three second-half touchdowns Saturday. Spectacular plays carne during series of maneuvers by Kansas State midwesterners in the second quarter which brought their tally.

Dana Atkins' passes, with plenty of laterals by the receivers, and some tricky formations, carried Kansas State across the goal on a 53-yard drive. Jim Stehley-went the last 13 yards on the ground. But this was the only time Kansas State eould put together a concerted move, and the Wildcats ended their season without a victory. It was their 26th straight loss In three years.

A nor'-easter grounded Alabama 's famed passing attack Saturday night but the Crimson Tide rolled over the Orange Bowl turf to survive a bad scare and beat the University of Miami 21 to 6. The Sugar Bowl-bound Alabama team was outplayed by the underdog Mlamlans for the first 29 minutes, but after that, two long drives and a blocked punt gave them victory. The great Harry Gilmer completed only three passes a three-yarder that scored, a no-galn toss in a 59-yard scoring drive, and one ruled complete. A 20-mile wind that carried aerials long or pushed them down swept over the field thru-out the game, but Miami made six passes good for 115 yards. This was just one of the surprises for 27,941 fans who had expected to see the hometown lose by 30 points or more.
