Tulane controlled the ball most of the game, running almost twice the number of piays Alabama managed. But the Green Wave was outgained 122 to 119 yards on the ground and 88 to 48 in the air. Tulane held a 9-8 edge in first downs. Alabama was dangerous throughout. Luna and Tharp showed signs of going all the way if they got that key block.

Tulane linemen and the alert linebacking of fullback Saia' kept that block from showing UP' The Greenies, three touchdown underdog, gained an upset scoreless tie for the second year. Tulane held powerful Army to a 0-0 tie at its homeming last year today and then zing, zing, zing, went the touchdowns as the Black Knights of the Hudson crushed unbeaten Yale, 48-7, before a sellout of 73,600 at Yale Bowl. Bell, a high-kneed chumer, accounted for three of the scores and sophomore Bob Kyasky, returning from the injured list, added two more during the rout, downs came from the accurate With the score 41-7 after two touchdowns in each of the first three periods Coach Earl Blaik of Army called off his regulars and emptied his bench, letting reserves get into the game. Even that was not enough to stop the massacre. It was the sixth victory in seven starts for Armys seventh-ranked legions, the countrys offensive leader, and the first setback for proud Ivy League Yale, with only Colgate tie previously marring its record.

It also was the best score run up in the Army-Yale series, dating back to 1883. Before today, the big gest margin was Armys, 39-7, in 1943, the last time they met. It iron honors, had lost to Florida, Kentucky and Georgia Tech in earlier games. An early Auburn threat in the second period, failed when halfback Hoppy Middleton was just outside the end zone when he hauled down a 27-yard pass from Freeman. Fullback Don Bosseler set up Miamis first score by grabbing a Freeman throw on the Auburn 40 and racing back to the 21.

A fourth down penalty gave Miqmi the ball at the Tiger 11, a play lost two and then Garrigus hit Pepsin for the marker. Bonofiglios long run, which- followed a successful fake, seemed to cinch another Hurricane victory, but when Freeman blocked the extra point try, he supplied the margin of victory.

Yardage for the day was about with Miami getting 189 rushing and 15 passing, to 273 rushing and 20 passing for the Tigers.
