California froze the ball on four plays, relinquishing it on downs. Navy regained possession but time ran out on the first play. California, scoring its second victory of the season under Waldorf, formerly of Northwestern, turned in an Impressive performance in out-scoring a Navy eleven which experts already had rated as one of the best in the country. The Bears charged in powerful fashion, blocked with finesse and ruggedness and looked like a top ball club throughout the contest. Navy's vaunted passing attack clicked frequently but bogged down in crucial moments.

Beaten but not humiliated, Navy was in the game every minute and aside from the scoring sequence reached California's 35 and 31 yard lines in the first period; counted 50 yards to California's 21 in the second quarter and put together a 51- ine wears, matting a gridiron comebzack under the coaching of Lynn Waldorf, rushed over a second period touchdown on a pass and two smart runs to assume the lead they maintained to the end. They added to the advantage with a 64-yard run to a touchdown in the fourth quarter to apparently clinch the victory in resounding fashion only to have the hard-fighting Midshipmen make it a ball game with a score of their own. The last four minutes provided thrills, Navy's boys, fighting to the last, blocked a punt, recovered the ball and cracked over the California goal to trail 14-7. With less than three minutes to go. Navy made a last desperate try.

Forced to kick off, they successfully completed an on-side kick. Center Dick Scott fell on the ball, and the Middies hit the aerial lanes Ithaca J. C. J. C.

They performed creditably but Army did not look like its championship teams of yesteryear. Recovered fumbles set the stage for both of Army's touchdowns.

Oustafson fell on a Villanova bobble on the Wildcats' 14 near the "end of the first half and darted all the way to the goal line oh the next play. In the. third period, Ralph Pas-quariello, Villanova fullback, dropped the ball on a line buck and Rowan recovered on Vlllanova's 23. Bobby Stuart ripped off 21 yards at right end, and Winfleld Scott went around right end from the three to tally. Villanova presented a veteran team that was primed to end Army's long run of victories which covered the 1944, 1945, and 1946 season, marred only by last year's scoreless tie with Notre Dame.

But the Wildcat backs could do nothing against a forward wall led by Capt. Joe Steffy. Near the close of the third period Villanova reached Army's 18 but three passes were knocked down.

Although knocking constantly at the Bearcat door, the Kentuckians were denied throughout the third period, but on the first play of the final quarter, Phelps broke loose and streaked 38 yards for a touchdown and Blanda's placement this time was good. The furiously charging Kentucky forwards trapped Tom O'Malley behind the line of scrimmage on fourth down. O'Malley, attempting to punt, juggled the ball and tried to run. He was nailed on the Cincinnati 15.

Jim Babb passed to End Wallace (Wah-Wah) Jones on the Bearcat two, and, on second Phelps dashed untouched for the third score. Blanda again booted the point from placement. Cincinnati made more first downs than Kentucky, 13 to 5, and out-rushed the Wildcats, 255 to 119.
