CHICAGO col- The game itself promises to be, perhaps, one of the very best of the entire series. Army holds a lead, having won 28 to 22, with four ties. The huge crowd, plus a national television audience reaching into the millions, will get a chance to see if Army can build its if Eddie Erdelatz still has thp big game magic to beat Red Blaik.

In four cracks, Coach Erdelatz has come away with three victories, two of which could be attributed in no small measure to the so-called cribbing scandal at West Point. The Cadets won a year ago going away, 20-7. Good Talent The Sheer Talent which runs through the squads makes this a game to see. No college team gets off its marks any quicker than Army and Navy far behind. On the records, it is tough to pick a winner.

Army started slowly with what now appears to be an implausible loss to South Carolina. It.came back to slam Michigan in a major surprise and followed up with a shocking victory over Duke. After the opener, there was only one scare, the one- point victory over Virginia. Navy swamped Stanford, among others, but was caught in the middle of power ful upsurge before being shaded by Notre Dame, against which the Middies fumbled away a touch down on the goal line. The Sailors were most impressive massacring Duke.

Talent-wise, this edition of the Anny-Navy game figures to be a downright war, with the NEA All America ends, Don Holleder of the Plain and Ron Beagle, showing the way. Their presence alone produces tremendous interest. Good Ends The Pass-Snatching Holleder and Beagle anchor lines which put on a vicious show. Army sends out a first team with three sophomores up front. They are end Art Johnson, tackle Dick Stephenson and guard Flay Goodwin, forming the left side.

On the other side of a senior center, Billy Chance, the Cadets have guard Ralph Chesnauskas, a big bruiser out of Brockton and as tough and rough as Rocky Marciano, and tackle Godwin Ordwav and Holleder, the speed boy. The Army backs spin around Pete Vann, the slick faker and devastating passer. Vann's long passes to Holleder have been knockout drops. When not moving by air, ground attack gobbles up yardage. Tommy Bell could be the best college back in country.

Sophomore Bob Kyasky is all back and the Soldiers a kicker. Mike Zeigler, Johnny Wing, Pete Lash, Pat Uebel and Dick Murtland give Blaik more inside and outside get up and go. The key to the Army attack, despite this frightening array of backs, is Vann. Welsh Stars Offense, which reached its heights with a 40-point drubbing of Duke and some 60 points rolled up against Columbia features quarterback George passing. Operating behind Welsh will be a fleet of quick-starting backs.

Bill Hepworth, Bob Craig. Jack Garrow, Dick Guest, Joe Gattuso and Johnny Weaver give the Middies strikng power. In addition, fine fullback and captain. Phil Monahan, is nealthy for the first time this season. Monahan will be the only tain in action.

Army's Bob Farris: has been kept out by a detached! retina. Monahaan hurt his knee in spring practice, has seen only twoj minutes of work all year. Comparison Navy's Backfuld does not appear to be equal to that of the but its line might have a shade the better of it. With Beagle at end is Bill Smith, a converted quarterback. John Hopkins, 203, and Jim Royer, 208, hold down the tackles.

Len Benzi and A1 Aronis, both short and stocky, are at the guards and Wilson Whitmire is at center. In total offense, this team has an average of 401.3 yards per game. That is the second best mark in the country. Who leads? Army. With a 459.4 mark.

There you have it. Tradition, All-Americas, speed. power, know-how. the biggest grid show of the year. Who do you like? Here, it is assumed the Cadets will roll.

Perhaps by two touchdowns.

Some whant spring practice, don't some want bowl games, some But now it seems about time to let the Ivy League go its own way and realize that you simply have good, interesting football without a certain amount of commercialization. Not as long, certainly, as you still sell and I haven't to date heard of even the Ivy League letting the customers in for free.

Yet when the Ivy League banned spring practice, so did most of the Eastern Independents. Ask my coach and tell you that only the boys were hurt, and physically, because they simply in the proper physical condition. Poor Schedules Follow The Ivy League banned participation in post-season bowl games. So, immediately, did some of the independents. Virtually every other conference in the country is open to bowl bids-with the face-saving gesture of barring and nobody throws mud pies at them.

But the East is conspicuous in its continual absence, even though it takes the ever-diminishing money Ircrr. its The upshot of it all is that most of the independents find them-! selves playing games which draw flies. And those which would be interested in a bowl game get invited because they even have the gate attraction of being a conference champion.
