1 Whips army Gene Ward Just as predicted and to the surprise of no one in Yankee Stadium yesterday, the able football men of Army set up a series of T-formation traps for Notre Dame, sprung Glenn Davis for three touchdowns and Doc Blanchard for two to finally hang the Irish, 48-0. Little Boley Dancewicz pitched his heart out and his arm almost out of its Kelly-green jersey and for a few moments in the opening half the 76,000 fans were half-hoping the Irish would make a game Ml Army NOTRE DAME Poa L. i L.

Army's Dc Blanchard is held to no gain in first period play, and it took ONLY three Irish tackier to stop him, one slowing him down from behind, and two in front (including masked Ruggerio). of it. But the inevitable happened and Army moved irresistably on to the sixteenth straight triumph and its initial "second-in-arow" over Notre Dame in history.

After that Army second-stringers took over. Notre Dame got down to the Army 1-yard stripe in the final moments of the third but lost the ball on a fumble just when it seemed some consolation points were in order. FIRST PERIOD Army's bull-necked captain, John Green, won the flip of the coin and elected to Dancewicz danced back from his 5 to the 25 with the leather, where he was spilled by Army's Tucker.

Ruggerio, the lower part of his face covered by a mask, hit the left side of the Army line twice, but was on the Army 2 iVa as the period ended. Score: Army 7, Notre Dame 0. SECOND PERIOD Again Armj rose up and smacked down the Irish. Dancewicz was halted on a quarterback sneak, Ruggerio made but two yards in two tries, so ND had missed a first down for the second time in Army territory by a foot. But a moment later, Colella recovered a Davis fumble on Army's 31, but fumbled himself on the next play, recovering, but losing ground back to the 42.

Nolr Pame. from their own 20 the Cadets went all the way. Blanchard hit for 8, Tucker-Davis pass to to the ND 45. Then it was Blanchard blasting center for 17 to the ND 28. Stuart, in for Mc Williams, fumbled but.

recovered for a loss of 3. Tucker ducked back, faked to Blanchard, then shot a pass to Davis over the right sideline. Glenn took the toss on the ND 20, ducked, danced and feinted green-shirted players this way and that to wind up in the end zone, leaving Ruggerio and Colella, among others, on the turf-behind him. Walterhouse did his extra-point job and Army led 14-0 at 6:08 of the second. Touchdown No.

3 came after Dancewicz had punted to Stuart, who ripped back 14 to his own 47. Blanchard's carrying and a Tucker-to-Poole pass -with a lateral to Davis good for 16 yards, featured this 53-yard drive. Blanchard scored the touchdown, slicing off tackle from the 1 at 11:44. Score: Army 21, Notre Dame 0. THIRD PERIOD Army had its fourth touchdown and No.

3 for Cadet Davis at 4:24. Poole, in for Pitzer at left end, partially blocked Dancewicz' punt, the ball bounding out on the N. D. 49. Six plays later, even counting a 5-yard, off-side penalty against Army, Davis was loose.

He cut back off his own left tackle, completely reversed his rieid and was off and away. It was a 21-yard Continued on page 91, col. 1 dropped on it on the 31. Blanchard blasted ND's left guard to the 26. Then Davis, faking a pass with a quick motion, tucked the leather into the crock of his elbow as he moved to the left, cut back sharply and busted right on through to the end zone.

No Notre Darner got a solid smack at the streak of lightning. The play went inside ND's righ end. Walterhouse came in to convert and Army had a 7-0 lead at 2:06 of the ball game. Again Blanchard kicked off and again Danzewicz took it back to his 25. But this time it was different.

Because, on the first play, Elmer Angsman romped loose for 15 yards. Colella and Ruggerio bulled over the midfield stripe to the Army 41. With Ruggerio doing the heavy duty carrying, short blasts moved the ball to the 32, but with fourth down and one to go, Ruggerio was stopped by Army's Nemetz for a yard loss. Now it was Army's turn. Blanchard, Davis, Blanchard and the ball had moved to ND's 49.

Tucker passed to Foldberg, who made a diving catch on the 24. But here the Army attack stalled and ND took over on 22. After an exchange of punts, ND began to move again from its 23. Angsman toured Army right end for 28 yards to the 44. Ruggerio made a yard.

Dancewicz tossed to Skoglund on the Army 32 and Colella picked up 8 more. The ball to give the Lions an early 7-0 lead, then said "watch this" and proceeded to toss three touchdown passes in a brilliant counter-display that produced a 20-7 Penn bulge at intermission for 63,000 screaming partisans. Tenn won, 32-7. FIRST PERIOD Columbia returned the kiokoff to their 3-3, and then blitzed stunningly through the air for a touchdown soaring 62 yards on jet spurts. Rossides supplied all the fuel for this flight, clicking on all five of his attempted aerials to account for every one of the 62 yards netted.

Actually, on the three running plays the Lions tried, they totaled minus one yard. The accurate Greek started his sky show with a flat screen flip to Kusserow that picked up 14. The next went to Thompson for 20 on the 29, and still another found J-adyko for a first down on the Penn 15. That same slick screen flip to Kusserow stabbed to the 7 after a pair of bucks found the hall in the same spot. Rossides tossed out on the flat to Kusserow, who squirmed and twisted over.

Will convorted for a. 7-0 edge After Ponn failed to penetrate the I. ion line, thev punted to Co tackle crashed through and blocked Holdnak's attempted punt to give Penn the ball on Columbia's 25. On first down, Evans heaved to Jenkins just over the goal. That man converted this time and, with less than a minute and a half gone, Penn led 13-7.

Still another break, and still that opportunist Savitsky, had Columbia in another quick hole, as Bleasdale fumbled on Columbia's second try after the kickofF, and the charging tackle recovered on Columbia's 17. This time the Lions held, but because of that original fumble, Penn was able to start its next touchdown drive from its 34. Evans and Deuber, and Evans' fling to Deuber drove to the Lion 29. An "illegal hands" penalty pushed Penn back to the 44, but Schneider swept left end for 21 yards on the old Statue of Liberty, and then turned the other flank for 15 more to the 8. Evans' toss to Falcone over the goal line.

Evans tossed for the point, and then probably went into the stands to sell hot dogs during the half. Score: Penn 20, Columbia 7. THIRD PERIOD Rossides scooted back to Colum- (Continued pige 93. col. 1) Will couldn't hold the poor pass from center, and Savitsky pounced on the ball for Penn on Columbia's 37.

Then it was Evans turn to flash the airpower. He clicked to Jenkins and Sponaugle for 16 apiece to the 5. Three smashes moved no farther than the 3. so on last down, Evans calmly chucked to Jenkins in the end zone. Evans placement was deflected wide.

Score: Columbia 7. Penn 6. SECOND PERIOD lumbia and then received their first That slim Lion edge didn't last of several breaks. On fourth down any longer than it takes to say.
