ft THE SPRINGFIELD LEADER MONDAY EVENING DECEMBER i930 SEVEN NAVY REVEALS NEW POWER FOR SCRAP WITH CADETS! fcpORS Fore, Mr. Yot! Fielding H. Yost ha gone in for golf. In a big way. The former Michigan coach first played In 1921, one game.

The other game he played this year. Figuring on the basis of two hours for IB holes, and re memberlng that Mr. Yoafi football teams In the old days were known as the "polnt a minute" boys, I wonder If Mr. YorI's golf score Isn't somewhere around 120? i'he Younger Rorkne On the trip to the coast, Frank Carledo had charge of young Jack Rockne, son of the Bald Dome of South Bend. It seems that young Jack has some of his dad's ready wit.

After the Can loncrt Singer, Petrolle McLarhin affairs: the boys really don't know how fight Is going to turn out! The name of the Army man who made the touchdown against Notre Dame has been discovered. It Is not Pershing. General Phil Sheridan, Salvation Nell or Steve Zilch.

It is Cadet Harley N. Trice, a guard from Oaklawn, R. I. You see there are two people on the Army squad whose names sound alike. One Is Price, a tackle.

The other is Trice, guard. Very confusing. Goodby, Benny Benny Bengough, the snappy little catcher, has gone from the Yankees, and now we wonder what Lou Gehrig will do? Benny and Lou came up to the big show together. They were inseparable. Like Hoyt and Joe Dugan and a number of other Damon Pythias combinations, they lived, walked and talked Carncrar Schmellng?

PACKERS RETAIN LEAt' THOUGH BEATEN, 0 21 Dec. 8 (INS) The Green Bay Packers still held first plaoe today in the National proies leainie football race, although the northmen took a stinging 21 to defeat from the Chicago Bears at Wrtfflev field vesterday.

It was the third defeat of the season for the 1929 champions. Tt bitterly fought batUe from start to finish with Red Grange and Bronko NagurskI taking the spotlight with their sensational runs and plunges. Yesterday's victory was the first the Bears have scored over the Packers in three years. Grange's work was largely for the first two touchdowns the Bears scored.

MIDDIES SMASH PENN'S ELEVEN, TAKE NEW HOLD Service Squadrons Renew Relations Saturday for Charity's Benefit By LES C'ONKLIN fHlmtttoMoJ A'rit Hrn'tt Spuria Wrilir NEW YORK. Dec. 8 Army's vision of an easy victory over Die Navy eleven at Yankee stadium next Saturday was rudely shattered today as the Cadets woke up to the fact that they have a mighty tough football game on their hands.

Navy's smashing, 26 to 0, triumph over Perm at' Franklin field last Saturday changed the whole aspect of the postseason classic. The Navy goat, kicked all over the gridiron like a stray alley cat earlier in the season, has assumed the proportions of a maneatlng lion as a result of the powerful attack uncorked by the midshipmen against the Quakers, a team that can roll up 18 first downs during the course of an afternoon is bad medicine for anybody. Shoe's on Other Foot When the Army game was first scheduled. It was agreed on all sides that Navy waa in for a sweet lick lng. The sailors were praised to the skies for their generosity in taking i the Initiative to help the unemploy I ed, but when It came to picking the winner no one conceded them a chance against the Cadets.

Army's unexpectedly good showing against Notre Dame made the outlook at Annapolis gloomier than ever. But now the shoe is on the other foot. Navy's newlyfound strength makes the coming charity game a well cut attraction on its own merits. The spectators who will pay as high as fifty dilaraTi ticket need not list the expenditure under the head of philanthropy. They will be paying ja million dollars for a million dollars worth of football, Star Baekfieluers Bullet Lou Kirn, Johnny Gannon 1 and two substitutes, Rusty Williams I and Tom Hurley, were the Navy backs who ruined Penn.

Kirn and Gannon already had established reputations as stars, and the show lng of the two subs merely pro vided added food tor thought for the Army coaching staff, which saw the game. Kirn has a terrific drive and seems to be able to keep going with or without Interference. He was banged up In scrimmage at Annapolis last week and Saturday's game hardly had started when Masters of Penn stepped on his face. Mr. Kirn then proceeded to rip the Red and Blue line into shreds.

He gained almost every time they gave him the ball, tearing off as much as 14 yards at a clip. Poor Judgment on the part of the Navy quar terback prevented scoring in the first half, but the rushes of the Navy backs began to tell on the Penn forwards soon after the third period began. Midshipmen Rally The Midshipmen have come along with giant strldesA And, the Cadets do not need to beS reminded that their great rivals are always at their peak In the service encounter. In the' 1927 game, the last between the two academies, Army had one of the best teams in the country, while the Navy outfit was nothing to brag about. Army had beaten Notre Dame, 18 to 0, and the Ramblers had trounced the Sailors 19 to 0.

And yet Navy, the underdog, put up such a battle that Army had all it could do to grind out a 14 to 9 win over the fighting Midshipmen. Navy's defensive power in the Penn game was as impressive as its offensive strength. The Quakers, who scored 20 points against Notre Dame, were able to register only three first downs against the Navy forwards.
