Erb 0 0 0 Bcrkhimer 3 2 8 NEW YORK CPA year or so ago when the Army football team was bowling over nil opposition and Navy was getting its brains knocked out on a schedule drawn up during a dizzy spell the Middies put to music their ideas of the Cadets' rugged opposition. Roughly very roughly their chant, to the tune of the Army marching song, went something like this: We don't play Notre Dame We don't play Tulane We just play Davidson For that's the dear old Army game. Right now Coach Earl Blaik and members of the West Point corps probably wish there was some truth in the parody. That's no lollypop schedule lined up for Army next fall.

Starting with South Carolina, the debilitated cadets take on Southern California. Dartmouth, Pittsburgh, Columbia, V. M.I., Georgia Tech, Penn and Navy in that order. For a team which this year scored only two victories and took a 42 to 7 larruping from Navy In the final game, that's quite an order. Had Blaik known that his squad would be decimated by the cribbing incident, with the prospect that it will be three, four or even five years before the cadets approach their former strength, it is not Improbable he would have had Davidson on next year's card, at that.

And maybe Siwash, and good old AB Normal. Blaik was a victim of circumstances beyond his control, Schedules of so-called big-time schools are made up several years in advance, and a coach must gamble on the future. He mast, first of all, try to estimate the strength of his own team in the coming years, and he must try to figure how strong the teams he is booking will be. That latter is important if he wants national recognition for his team. A team in the top 10 one year out the of 3,095 yards established by Eddie Price of Tulane.

Price now is with the New York Giants of the National Football League. The season's final figures released Thursday by the NCAA service bureau show that Matson won the title easily with a net of 1,566 yards in nine games. He scored 21 touchdowns as he guided the San Francisco eleven to its first unbeaten-untied season. His 1951 total is just four yards short of the one season mark of 1,570 yards set by Fred Wendt of Texas Mines. Matson is the first' Pacific Coast player to capture the ball carrying laurels.

The southwest, which leads with five rushing titlists, produced the runner-up this year in Frank (Danny) Goode of Hardin-Simmons. The 160-pound Texan' had 1,399 yai'ds in 12 games. Tulsa's Howard Waugh got 1,118 in 11. For the third straight year Drake's Johnny Bright is among the top 20 and might have given Matson a tussle down the stretch except for the broken jaw which kept him out of two games and benched him for most of two others. Bright, fourth in 1950 and fifth in 1949, is seventh this year.

His career aggregate is 3.134 yards, which also breaks Price's Tulane mark. Both Matson, who finished fourth in the NCAA 100-yard dash last summer, and Goode cracked the record for 228 tries against the opponents' lines set by Bryson Townsend of Texas, last season. Goode made 270 charges with Matson next at 215. The six foot, two inch Negro's 27.2 smacks a game lso is a record. Buck McPhail, 202 pounds of jarring fullback at Oklahoma, also fashioned a new standard.

An average of 8.56 yards a carry 101 attempts for 865 yards gives the Sooner junior the top mark for backs who made 100 or more forays in a season. Wendt's 8.53 in 1948 was the former peak. Tennessee's star halfback, Hank Lauricella, compiled the second-best average among the more prolific runners. He travelled at might be in the lower 20 next year, and it is conceivably that a coach might schedule all 10 of the top teams one year for games three times then be accused of picking soft touches vhen. those teams came up with character-building seasons when it came time to play the games.

It probably wouldn't happen, as it Is rcmarkablce how the top teams maintain their position year after year. But it could. A few years ago Army had two or three "name" teams on its schedule which came up with off years. Army was criticized for looking for soft spots to land. Wo think that Blaik might be a little pessimistic In his opinion of the length of time It will take to build up Army to a semblance of Its former power.

Particularly as long as plebes, or freshmen, are allowed to play. Army always has roped Its share of bright young men with unusual physical equipment. The very fact that this year's team practically was picked at random from the student body and was able to at least get out on the field with stout, experienced teams, and let the opposition know it was In a game, shows the physical equipment and stoutheartedness of the boys as a whole at the point. Blaik has given no indication as to whether or not he will stay at Army. He suffered blows which would have fellefl a man of weaker nature and less pride.

The wound is deep, and it is known he feels very badly about the manner In which the cribbing dismissals were handled. Personally, we'd like to see him continue, and we think he'd get a deep satisfaction in doing a rebuilding job. He made a fine start this year, practically starting from the basement. The cadets will be improved next year, although it will take new blood to really make them great again. The boys who played this determination aren't physically year played with high spirit and equipped to be great stars.

If they had been, they would have been on the squad before the mass dismissals. ith more snow expected Friday. It also predicted freezing weather in most parts of the state.

The Frankies were scheduled to battle the army forces on Friday evening prior to their tilt with St. Peter's college on Saturday night. Word was received late Tuesday night concerning the cancellation. S1C Tony Scala, athletic director of the Signaleers, reported by phone that a site for the contest is unavailable.
