1 Hamberg. 15 Smith 5 0 10 7 2 91 0 2 0 Passing Kick-Aver YES, IT'S TRUE what they say about Army. Approximately 70,000 came, saw and believed after those fleet footed, hard-charging backs had plowed furrows Into the crack Navy line yesterday afternoon in the Stadium. Army didn't run up sufficient points to preserve its point-a-min- ute record for the season, but those brilliant Cadets from West Point convinced all and sundry that they are worthy to be called national champions. My hat goes off to the West Pointers who went through the season unbeaten and untied.

leaving along the way wrecks of Notre Dame, Penn, Duke and Navy. It is not alone the fact Army won these games, but the convinc ing manner in which it knocked off each rival. They never were in danger. Certainly they were in no grave danger yesterday, although the Midshipmen may find some solace in the fact that they held the Cadets to their lowest score of the season. Army scored a total of 504 points in nine games this season.

The opposition compiled only 35. an average of slightly less than four. ititit Whitmire THE INJURY to Whitmire. Navy's giant tackle, no doubt hurt the Navy cause, but I doubt if his presence throughout the game would have changed the result. Army came here victory-bent.

It had gone into action against eight other foes this season with the same idea in mind, and one by one they were blasted. You can mark it off as Army's year. I was a bit cold to the claim of many experts who had seen Army play that West Point not only was supreme this year, but the well-knitted machine is probably the fastest, smartest and most durable placed on the gridiron in many seasons. Just how great is Army I wouldn't know, but the Cadets have sufficient football savvy to knock off any teams hanging around in this year of 1944. I picked Navy to win.

I have been accused of overestimating Navy's strength and underestimat ing Army's ability all season. I'll admit to the Army charge. itCt-it Well-Handled IT WAS AMERICA'S No. 1 sports event of World War II. and the handling of the annual gridiron classic was in keeping with the importance of the event.

Experts covering the contest agreed it was the biggest game of this genera tion, and no wonder the fans sat on the edge of their seats as the teams faced each other for the opening klckofT. Although Army was the pre game tavorite this was a game when cold dope could be tossed out of the window. Two fighting teams were out there to do battle with heavy chips on the table. I thought Navy was off to the races during the early stages. The Midshipmen line was holding beau tifully, but the picture changed, and how, when Whitmire was injured.

and the loss of the big fellow in the Annapolis line paid a heavy toll. It was after he had been re Army, were much in evidence throughout. Bill IX, the Navy's pride and emblem, made such an entrance as no goat ever made before. Just before the kickoff shots were heard near the administration building and a long black limousine with three motorcycle policemen riding ahead as escorts, came into view on the east side of the cinder path. Guards armed with tommy guns rode both running boards as the car wheeled around through the horseshoe and came to a halt in front of the Navy stand.

Heralds Step Out Out stepped two heralds and trumpeted. They stepped aside. and two make-believe Cadets rolled out a carpet. From the limousine came a facsimile of a mule with strangely human appearing legs. Then, as the trumpeters broke into a strain of swing, out pranced Bill.

Such unaccustomed luxury did nothing to make Bill more effec tive as a mascot, for it didn help the Navy to one extra touchdown. The Midshipmen went directly back to Annapolis after the game. Whitmire was keenly disappointed it the turn of fate which took him nit of action. Jenkins was not because of his old leg in team in recent games had been able to penetrate. Army marched on to a touchdown, added the extra point and went merrily to the dressing room at half time with a 7 point lead.

it-it- Safety THEN CAME the safety early in the third quarter that raised Army's total to 9, and Navy's hopes were beginning to fade at that stage. The Middies battled desperately through the third period. At one point the Army had 46 yards to go on third down. Army backs being thrown for losses. Little Hal Hamberg then went to town.

He ran arid passed the Navy up the field to within the shadows of Army's goal line, where an off side penalty planted the pigskin on the Army one-yard line. With four tries to pick up that precious yard, Scott made half of it on one thrust, and then went over for the additional inches. When the extra point was added the Navy stands went wild. The Middies were back in the old ball game. Navy, although outplayed in the first half, was right back in the game.

Statistics up to Navy's goal line march had been distinctly in Army favor, first downs and yard age gained in rushing and passing both being on the West Pointer's side of the ledger. it it it Interception AFTER Scott had run back a kick to give Navy the ball in Army ter ritory. the old forward-pass bugs boo cropped up for the Midship men. Davis intercepted a pass, and on the first play Blanchard raced intd Navy territory and Army was threatening again from the Navy 28 Army proved it had the backfield punch, Blanchard bulling his way for the final nine yards and the second West Point touchdown. Army had a nine-point lead after the conversion, but the game was still tight and tense.

The battle was far Into the fourth quarter, but the chilled fans made no break for the exits. They knew anything could happen within a matter of a few minutes, and Army and Navy admirers waited anxiously to see in which direction the smiles of fickle fate would go. They didn't go Navy's way. Davis skirted end for a 50-yard run with less than five minutes to go. and that touchdown and the conversion sent the score to 23 to 7 in the West Pointers' favor.

A scattered few thought that score was the clincher and there was a little stream of fandom toward the exits. it itit Do you know that Army's victory yesterday kept in tact the series record whereby neither team has ever been able to win more than five straight games in the 54-year history of the rival meetings? In 1934 Navy beat Army 3 0 to snap Cadet string of five in a row. just as Army's triumph today ended Navy's quintet of triumphs- from 1939 through 1943. However, from 1922 through 1933. the best Navy could do was to gain two ties in ten games played.

jury but because he received a blow on the head early in the game Army's forces remained here overnight, at their headquarters in the Lord Baltimore Hotel. Herman Hickman, the 300-pound line coach, bubbled over in his enthusiasm "I'm the happiest man In the world tonight," he chortled. "This is the one we had to win, I'm mighty proud." He may well be proud, for it was the Army line on which most of the question marks rested prior to the payoff game. There's no question now.

SMARTER CLUB Rice Says West Pointers Were Faster And More Alert By CRANTLAND RICK After five years in the wilderness of defeat, Army came back into the land flowing with milk and honey by beating a powerful Navy team, 23 to 7, yesterday afternoon.

Fans saw a faster, smarter and more elert Army team get its long-delayed revenge. After the first period Army took charge of the game In almost every detail. Army had far greater speed with such fast flying backs as Glenn Davis and John Minor and also had greater power with big Doc Blan-chard crashing his way through Navy's concrete wall. Cadets Called Smarter Army not only had the winning margin in speed and power, but it van also a much smarter team in every crisis, where Navy too often used poor Judgment. So for the first time in 28 years dating back to 1916.

Coach Red Blaik gave the Army an unbeaten and untied season as 2,500 Cadets in gray knew two hours of pure joy. They had taken it on the chin from Navy for five straight years, but it was different this chilly, sunny afternoon, with Army in full and complete command. Navy had only one man to match the combined speed and driving power of such army men as Blanch-ard. Davis. Dale Hall, Minor and Doug Kenna.

He happens to be the smallest on Navy's big squad Hal Hamberg, the Arkansas Torpedo. Hamberg Carries Brunt It was Hamberg who had to carry the bruising brunt of Navy's battle with injured Bob Jenkins able to play only a few unimportant minutes, but not even two Bob Jenkins's could have saved Navy this afternoon. Army was too much the better team. The belter team in every way. For one example the far more alert Army team intercepted five Navy passes, a killing thrust good for more than 20 yards.

There were many times when Navy couldn't run the ball against a stout Army defense, line and backs, and when it hardly dared to pass against so many fast defenders who were taking the ball out of the air at a full gallop. Cadets Ball Hawks The Army players have been ball hawks or ball eagles all the year. They were hawks and eagles today against Navy. The game would have been completely lopsided if it hadn't been for little Hamberg. one of the great backs of a great Army-Navy After a fierce defensive first period in which neither team could make any headway.

Army took complete charge. This all happened through poor Navy generalship. Early in the second canto. Navy had the ball on Army's 26-yard line, down and only two yards to go. Here was a great Navy spot with a shining chance to move.

Gambles On Pais But in Hace of picking up what should ha been an easy first down Navy elected to gamble on a pass, which Army prc.nptly intercepted and ran back to her own 40-yard line. Here Army got extremely busy with her far superior speed. With the fleet and flying Davis under way. Army opened up a 47-yard march to Navy's 11-yard line. Here Navy made a game and gallant stand.

But a few minutes later Army was under way again. This time. Army launched a 66 yard march that had a blazing climax. Davis peeled off 21 yards on a run round the end. outrunning two slower Navy defenders, and then on the next play Army's fast-working outfoxed the stout Navy line.

Hill Runs 24 Yards For it was here that Hall, on a split buck, ran between guard and tackle 24 yards for a touchdown. Leading, 7 to 0, Army scored a safety in the third period when Stonowicz blocked Jack Hansen's punt, and Hansen, recovering the ball, was tackled in the end zone. So Army was leading, 9 to 0, when Hamberg took charge. Ark nsas Kid ran and passed the ball against a great Army defense for 73 yards. He faked and ducked and fought and passed his way across those 73 yards and then put the ball in scoring position for another Arkansas entry, Smackover Clyde Scott, from Smackover.

Ar kansas. It was Scott who scored the only Navy touchdown. But it was Torpedo Hamberg who paved the way, opened up the roafl or cleared the adverse seas. Hamberg Does Job It was 148 pounds of brain and Arkansas heart who did the big job for Navy; Hamberg, who had been a mighty factor in beating Army two straight years. But this surge of Hamburg's was Navy's final gesture.

Little Hal couldn't match Davis. Blanchard. and a star flock of Army backs. superbly drilled In the formation. Army was only leading 9 to 7 at the end of the third period, but aftr that, it was all Army Gray.

For in the fourth period. Army turned on all the works, with all the gas. After an interception of a Navy pass, Blanchard, the Army pile driver, ran 26 yards to Navy 21-yard line. From this spot, Blan chard carried the ball across for another touchdown. He bowled his way over for 9 yards, carrying prac tic'ly the entire Navy team on his back.

a a final, killing ceremony. Lorn bardo tossed a lateral to Glenn Davis on the 50-yard line, and then Davis ran 50 yards to a touchdown. Outruns Navy Team Davis outran the entire Navy team on this wild charge. Navy had no one who could catch him. Navy also had its share or nard luck.

Jenkins played only a few minutes, and Don Whitmire. suffering a knee injury on the first play of the game, was compelled to withdraw in the second period and was unable to return. With Whitmire and Jenkins on the injured list, Navy had no chance at alL ROOM CROWDED Cadet Warriors Are Mobbed After Victory Over Navy BT a. M. GIBBS All the world loves a winner: so it wasn't surprising all of it tried to force its way into the Army dressing room following the Cadet's victorious job against Navy.

From the moment that Dobbs and Blanchard, Cadet backs, reached the dressing room, following the close of the game, the place started filling up like a bucket under a fire hydrant. Coach Earl (Red) Blaik and his players had no more privacy than a gold fish in a bowL Perhaps they didn't mind. But eventually it reached a point where it seemed a good idea to move out. and give the happy warriors a break. Loss of Bob Jenkins, after four plays, did Navy no good.

It was a tough break right off the reel. They had several more. It just wasn't Navy's day (or luck. Among those who got themselves well frosted were Henry Parr 3d. president of the Maryland Jockey Club, and John C.

Clark, ditto of Hialeah Park. Which reminds that Dick O'Con-nell. Pimlico public-relations drum beater, became enthused over the work of Army's Glenn Davis. "Looks like the winner of next year's Preakness to me." exclaimed Dick. This is typically O'Connellesque.

And there was Officer James Keenan in the west parking lot just outside the Stadium gate. "Sure I was on duty twenty years ago when the first Army-Navy gam was played in this Stadium. "I was stationed at Thirty-third street and Greenmount avenue, that time. "Today I'm just outside the gate. Hope they play next year.

Maybe I'll get in." II General Hancock, Stadium ma-jor domo, compared the game and day with the previous service game in '24. "Remember It well." he said. "Cold as the dickens, just like this. Bigger crowd, of course. Maybe the teams today ere better, I don't know." "One thing you can say, is that the field out there today is as good if not better than any these teams have played on since the start of the war, except possibly when they played on their own reservations.

"I've seen them play every game during the war, except West Point last year. And this field is the best they have been on in that time. "We had to take a chance on the weather when we resodded. But the weather is something you can't do anything about." a Mayor McKeldin climbed into the press box just as Army scored its first touchdown. He came up to make a war-bond talk during the half time.

The P.A. system suggested the newspaper men in the box keep quiet and listen to the Mayors talk. So everyone laughed, including the Mayor, and kept on chewing the fat. Army was held very well until Don Whitmire left the Tar lineup. Then they really started pouring down the hatch.

"Reminds me of the way Johnny Podgajny used to pour strikes over the plate last summer," reminisced Harry Parr, For all we know now there may be a Whitmire stake race on the Pimlico card next spring. o- It Manager Tommy Thomas, o' the Orioles, iced himself in the stands. "Looks like the fans worried too much about hether Jenkins would play for Navy." said he during the nan lime period. "Army certainly took care of him. Four plays and he is out.

Been belter if he hadn't started. Then he would have had only toe in- tection to nun mm. "Great" team, that Army outfit." said Shag Shaughnessy, who had come to Baltimore on baseball business minus a ticket and then had run into an Army captain, once a star on the Cadet team, who came up with a ducat. Shag was once quite a football figure himself. His comments on the field strategies and techniques were interesting and informative, II One of the interesting sights ia the fresh air press box was that of correspondents, or football experts, writing on small portables with big thick gloves on their hands.

Us an art. like learning how to shave with boxing gloves on your hands. II The Cadets on west side had a big Sink Navy flag with appropriate Rkull-and-croskbones decoration. They raised it on high in place of the Penn State banner after the Army touchdown. At that it was startling to open press-box door and have six people fall out in your face.

The power of the press was rampant. Football Scores Army 23 Notre Dame 28 Ga. 44 La. 25 31 Virginia 28 Presbyteri'n 34 41 So. Methodist 9 Rice ....18 Arkansas .41 Texas 7 Denver 27 Rice 18 Ft.

TAYLOR (Continued from Page 1) touchdown. The scoring play was a 24-yard run by Dale Hall through the right side of the Navy line with i burst of such speed that the flabbergasted Navy secondary never had a chance to stop him. Breaks National Record The Cadet extra-point specialist, Dick Walterhouse, broke the national record by adding the first placement point and bis two later conversions gave him a mark of 51 in 59 attempts.

At the beginning of the third quarter Army blocked a Navy punt and the ball was recovered by Jack Hansen, the kicker, in the end zone for a safety, making the score 9 to 0. Then Navy came fo life and in one long sustained drive, which was the ultimate of Navy effectiveness for the day, went 79 yards to score. It was a hard, almost painful road that the Sailors drove along. The Midshipmen needed 15 plays and there were no long gainers in the lot. Hal Hamberg passed in the key plays of the march, and finally the offside penalty against Army moved the ball from the 5 to the 1.

Score Hard Earned Navy was not to be deprived of success after so much effort, and in two shots at thd middle, Clyde Smackover Scott reached the scoring territory. Vic Finos, the Navy extra-point kicker, made good on his only chance. The score was 9 to 7. Navy's stands were roaring encouragement and it looked like either side could win. With the pressure of a resurgent foe to goad the Cadet team into action, Army opened its all-out assault.

Glenn Davis intercepted Bob Jenkins' pass on the Army 33 and returned it 15 yards. It was Blan chard through the middle and around the ends as Army tore along toward the goal line. The powerful fullback carried the ball on 7 -plays out of 9 to gain the needed 5Z yards witn only inconsequential help from Davis and Minor. He catapulted through the Navy defense for the last 9Va yards at one clip, and Army led. 15 to 7, Walterhouse made it 16.

Davis Runs 50 Yards Army's last touchdown came.on a 50-yard run by Glenn Davis, the speediest back of Army numerous ball carriers. Navy was groggy from imminent defeat as the California carrier raced wide to the left at midfield on a' play which pointed the remainder of the team in the opposite direction. Near the west sideline, Davis pivoted and began -a run down the inside path adjacent to ths chalkline. Navy's right halfback and safety man never were close enough to hurl themselves as po tential tacklers at the Cadet. Davis fairly flew across the white lines as he scored his twentieth touchdown of the year.

Walterhouse added his third kick as his share in the Army perfection of the day. The score is the largest made against Navy by Army since the 1935 triumph, which was 28 to 6. Whitmire Leaves Game Navy's downfall began when the big all-America tackle. Don Whit mire, limped out of the game in the second quarter just before the Army scored. The huge Alabaman was hurt on the second play of the contest, but gamely stuck it out until his limp betrayed the reason for his loss of speed.

Ed Deramee, who replaced him. played adequately, but he is not of Whitmire's A twisted knee put Whitmire on the bench and kept him there for the rest of the game. The celebration after the tri umph was hardly as wild as the breaking of a five-year losing streak would have forecast. The Midship men remained in their places and with heads bared sang "The Navy Blue and Gold." Pour From Stands The Cadets poured out of stands and halfheartedly tore down the north goal post leaving the fragments lying on the sodden turf. The south posts were left standing.

The Cadets formed their ranks again and an hour after the game ended marched away to board the big transport which brought them by sea to the scene of action. The animal mascots, goat and doe for Navy, and mule and burro for THE GO.t POSTS CAME DOWN down the goal posts at the mi Liu ft a n. Br CRAIG E.
