So when quarterback Leamon Hall sneaked the final two inches, not only did the Army cannon go off but Navy joined in the celebration by firing a salvo, too. Broke Both Hands Aside from those explosions, Army made very, little noise this afternoon.

That's what happens when you go up against the nation's third best defense and monsters like Chet Moeller and Andy Bushak. They held the Cadets at bay Awhile a special- LEAST A TOUCH C- CAflQMlC 23 7 I Vsf appear. It happened again today, for the third straight year, the Navy-Army game resembled George Armstrong Custer vs. Sitting Bull although the matchup at Little Big Horn may have been more exciting than the one at crumbling JFK Stadium. Most of the 81,576 who made up the smallest crowd in the 37 years the spectacle has been held in Philadelphia, had departed before Army capped three years of hard work by scoring with 8:30 remaining.

That made today's final score 30-6. That made the three-year score Navy, 100, Army 6. What would Patton say What George E. Welsh said was. "I really thought this game would be closer." Like 30-7.

The Navy, coach was understandably surprised Army gambled and went for two after its touchdown. In a way you really couldn't blame the Cadets for getting a little greedy. No Army team had crossed into the end zone or the Vote Voight ACC9 Best Greensboro, N.O, Nov. 29 UPI North Carolina tailback Mike Voight, the Atlantic Coast Conference's leading rusher of the season with 1,250 yards, has been named ACC Player of the Year. The 6-foot-l, 201-pound junior averaged 125 yards per game and 4.8 yards per carry.

His season rushing mark ranked him second in the ACC in yards gained in one season and it was the second consecutive year he gained more than 1,000 yards. i teamer with two busted hands, a proof reader's nightmare, a record-breaking running back who almost quit last year, and an ex-marine took turns torpedoing them. Taking the heroes in order, they are Jeff Hoobler, Larry Muczynski, Bob Jackson and Gerry Goodwin. Hoobler, a junior from San Diego, broke his left hand in pre-season. Then, six weeks later, he fractured his right so i badly he needed three pins to hold it together.

Jnone of this evoked sympathy from Army in general and Phil Micklin and Dave Hoopengardner in particular. Micklin. a plebe, was all set to return Steve Dykes' 50-yard punt at the start of the second auarter when he was hit by a falling safe disguised as Hoo-pler. The football popped loose, Bob Destafney pounced on it and four plays later Jackson sliced over. Just to show everyone that it was no fluke.

Hoobler and Destafney repeated their act moments later. Hoopengardner dropped back to punt and Hoobler made like a flying banshee, deflecting the ball to Destafney, who rumbled 42 yards to score. something we've been Rutgers Salts Syracuse, 21-10; Ednards: 149 By Marty McLaughlin New Brunswick, Nov. 29 It was the last varsity game for Rutgers fullback Curt Edwards and he made it one of his greatest. The senior from Matawan lugged 33 times for 149 yards to lead Rutgers to a 21-10 win over Syracuse today 22,000 at Rutgers Stadium.

"I'm supposed to hurry the kicker and I got through and got it. I'm always coming." Muczynski, it seems, is always kicking. The left-footed senior who made the varsity only this vear had three field goals (27, 28 and 31) and three extra points today to set season records in both categories.

Rushes Past Bellino It is doubtful, however, that Muczynski's record will be remembered as long as Jackson's. The crunching -fullback bulled right past the immortal Joe Bellino and into second place on Navy's all-time rushing list with 133 yards on 25 ca.ries. What made this particularly gratifying is that few people expected to see Bob Jackson in black and gold this season. "I almost quit this summer," he explained. "A lot of things were bothering me." I wanted to play pro ball.

My grades weren't good. I went home and then had to come back to get my money in order. I sent my clothes home. I made my decision to stay night before my group was leaving for fire training in Philadelphia. It had to be quick.

I called the coaches and then got on ine dus. It was just around that time that Gerald Douglas Goodwin was getting off the bus. The 21-year-old sophomore entered the marines after high school, where he developed a taste for butter pecan ice cream and game-breaking runs. He ripped off an 83-yard touchdown run in his first game for Navy last season and today he shreddad Army's defense for 114 yards on 18 carries. "The nice thing," he said, "is I get to play Army two more times." EXTRA POINTS: President Ford, a spectator last year, was a no-show today.

The victory was Rutgers' seventh straight as it finished with a 9-2 mark. As good as Edwards and the Rutgers offense were, the defense was even better. Pressuring the quarterback with a fierce rush and beating the Syracuse offensive line most of the day, Rutgers limited the Orangemen to 39 yards on the ground and 78 passing.

In spite of Rutgers ovei-all dominance, the game wasn't de- cided until the fourth quarter as Syracuse hung tough and even led in the final period After a scoreless first quarter marked by brutal hitting on both sides, -Rutgers was set up deep in Syracuse territory on a 45-yard punt return by cornerback Henry Jenkins. He grabbed the punt on his 26, broke left and raced to' the Syracuse 29. Three plays halfback Mike Fisher swept left, broke a pair of tackles at the five and went in on a pretty" 11-yard run to make it 7-0.

With Edwards bearing the brunt of the work, Rutgers drove deep into Syracuse territory twice only to come away empty both times.

But the Scar-let defense continued to throttle the Syracuse offense and get the ball back. With 10 minutes left, Rutgers finally got it going and marched 80 yards in 10 plays for the go-ahead TD. The score came on a 41-yard pass play from QB Jeff Rebholz to split end Mark Twitty. Rebholz hit Twitty on the 25 where he slipped" a tackle and tightroped down the sideline for the score.
