VP Golfing "forty-niners" seeking gold from low medal scores in Winter, tournaments from Florida to California and back, will match strokes Sunday and Monday at Coral Gables in the second annual Miami-Btltmore open, richest in the 1832-33 calendar.

Eleven From West Point Completely IRISH NARROWLY MISS FIVE MORE TOUCHDOWNS By ALAN GOULD Associated Frees Sports Editor YANKEE STADIUM. NEW YORK.

Nov. 24. UPh Notre Dame swept to an overwhelming victory over the Army, II to 0. before 40,000 spectators todsy in the most startling upset of the intercollegiate football campaign. Big, powerful, and daszlingry swift, the Ramblers struck the gold-he Imeted Soldiers with an attack that was as brilliantly executed and at devastating as it was effective.

Before It was all over and the Army's retry, battered force gave ground for the last tune near their goal line, Notre STATISTICS Army First downs I Yards gained from scrimmage ...44 Forward passes attempted ..15 Forward passed completed 4 Yardage from passes 44 Forward passes Intercepted by 0 Fumbles by 3 Opponents' fumbles recovered I N.D. 15 Ml 10 6 77 3 Dame bad tallied three touchdowns, narrowly missed putting over about five more and put to rout one of the East's greatest teams. Notre Dame not only gained ample revenge for the crushing defeat handed to them by the Soldiers a year ago, but gave their rivals the worst setback an Army team has met in this series since the 24-0 triumph of the late Knute Rockne's 1821 outfit. Tackles Lead Irish Attack The tornado in green, led by the vicious charges of two spectacular tackles, Joe. Kurth and Ed Krause, sweeping along on the terrific momen tum of Koken, Melinkovlch, Banas, and a half dozen other ball-carriers, was unbeatable once it got underway.

Except for two brief flashes, in the first and last periods. Army not only failed to display its vaunted offense, the powei that had ripped Yale and Har vard to pieces, but its hitherto sturdy defense cumbled under the green im pact. 1 Almost a tone tower of strength' in a defense that previously stopped every time but Pittsburgh, Capt Milton Sum-merfelt's heroic stand could not cope with Notre Dame's super-power. The Army Captain repeatedly broke through to smear whirling dervishes in green, or pile up the swift-moving wall of blockers that preceded every Notre Dame ball-carrier, but he was not equal to rallying his men against an Irresistible force all afternoon. When Notre Dame was not punching holes through the line, It had the aerial resources to penetrate the Soldier defense and did so with sensational effect.

Passes Lead To Secret The first two touchdowns, by George Melinkovlch, fullback, and Hugh Devore, substitute end, were'the direct result of passes into the Army end tone. The third score was the result of a fumble by Ken Fields, Army triple-threat back, in the end zone, where big Jim Harris, guard, fell on the ball as it bounded loose. Army it on time justified the pre-game odds in its favor and the tremendous crowd, Including the corps of cadets, was shocked by the failure of the Soldiers to come close to scoring with an atUck which Felix (Pick) Vidal had led to a succession of dazzling victories. Vidal, the "ball of fire," sputtered out after one solo dash that brought the crowd to its feet in the first period. Army had turned back Notre Dame's first threat, on its 12-yard line, and looked to be on the loose as Vidal broke around his light end.

shook off four tacklers, and romped 36 yards to Notre Dame's 40. Here, Ken Fields gambled with flat, bullet-like passes, three of them in quick succession. All failed, however, and Army never was that close to the opposing goal line again, except on the last play of the second quarter, when it didn't mean anything. Notre Dame registered 15 first downs to Army's five, piled up 291 yards by rushing to the Cadets meager 44, and gained 77 yards by passing as compared to 44 for the Soldiers. Goal Defense Holds Score Only the stalwart goal line defense of the Cadets, who five times either took the ball on downs or otherwise checked the Notre Dame assault inside the 15-yard line, kept the score from being twice as great as it was.

Notre Dame took complete command of the proceedings from the moment the first string backfleld, consisting of Jesk-which, Koken, Brancheau and Melinkovlch, entered the game in the second period. Steadily pressing ever deeper into Army territory, they finally put over a touchdown on two quick passes in the last few minutes of the half, after twice being stopped near their objective. Melinkovlch fumble, recovered by Fields on Army's three-yard line checked the first drive from mid-field. The next bogged down when Army's greatest defensive stand of the day, on its four- yard mark, hurled back four successive plays for no gain. But the Soldiers failed to capitalize this.

They left themselves wide open to air attack. Mike Koken's psss to his captain, Paul Host, was good for a 33-yard gain and put the ball on Army's five. On the next play Koken passed to Melinkovlch, who was stand ing In the end zone. Third Period Drive Relentless The Ramblers reached the peak of their onslaught in the third quarter, sweeping down the field-from klckoft, 74 yards all told, for their second touchdown. This time the second string back-field was unstoppable as Kurth and Krause continued to raise havoc through the Army's first line of defense.

Bana and Lukats drove through for consistent gains until the stuck finally was bottled up on one side of the field on Army's 37. On fourth down, with five yards to go after a penally, Banas fooled the Army defense by dropping back to mid-field tnd hurling a 60-yard pass to Devore who made the catch while standing on the goal line.

24. In bitter cold weather, Washington and Jefferson College defeated West Virginia University this afternoon, 13-0, In the 31st annual renewal of an ancient grid iron feud. A crowd of 7,500 saw the game. Long runs by Fullback Demedowiti and Halfbacks Rometo and Zagray put the ball in West Virginia territory almost constantly and only fumbles early In the game kept the Presidents from scoring in the first half. Dro beck's fine punting kept the Presidents at bay for a time in the fourth quarter but long dashes by Demedowiti and Zagray soon took the ball to the Mountaineer 14-yard mark.

Rometo faded back and tossed a pass to Shaffer, who ran for a touchdown shortly after the start of the final period. The Presidents started their final touchdown drive from midfield five minutes before the game ended. King and Rometo quickly rang up two first downs on line plunges. Rometo rifled a pass to Ericus, who was stopped on the Mountaineer 15-yard stripe. Rometo threw another aerial to Port and the latter raced unmolested over the West Virginia goal line for the final six-pointer.

It was State's first victory over Tulane since 1928. but brought Tiger follower far less cheer than a triumph over the down-river rivals would ordinarily produce, owing to the fact that many of Tulane's second and third string men had to bear the brunt of battle as a result of the loss of more than a score of the best Wave players, including the dangerous Don Zimmerman, because of lnfluensa and colds within a week before the game.
