As a record Eastern football throng of 102,000 spectators shivered and resigned themselves to the bleak prospect of a scoreless tie, the shell-shocked Midshipmen rode out of the grey gloom of gigantic Municipal Stadium today to seize decisive "break" on illegal pass interference and ride it and the Army Mule to a 7-0 triumph, with only three minutes of the hectic battle left to go. Middles Go 73 Yards.

The "break," like so many that have decided big games and caused heated arguments this year, capped a 73-yard march that brought victory the Midshipmen and left Henry Sullivan, youthful Cadet from Mt. Stirling, the "goat" of the game. For it was Sullivan, by quirk of fate, who adjudged guilty of illegal interference on a 17-yard pass tossed by Bill Ingram- a decision that gave the Midshipmen the ball on the Army three-yard line, first down, from which point Sneed Schmidt of St. Joseph, took the pigskin over after three terrific blasts at the heroic but battered Army line. A Ingram, scion of a famous from Navy family, added the extra point placement.

How It Happened. Navy had been pushed and trampled all over the green-tinted grass before the complexion changed with such lightning rapidity and the Middies drove to victory with the aid of not one but two passinterference rulings. Here's how it happened: The Middies halted the Cadets on their 28 when Big Jim Craig furbled and Schmidt recovered for Navy. Ingram braved a pass. Jimmy Schwenck, Cadet fullback, batted the ball down but the field judge, E.

E. Miller of Penn State, ruled Illegal interference on the play and Navy gained six yards. Schmidt and Ingram passed and drove the Cadets back with a steady drive. A pass to Irwin Fike put the ball on Army's 20. Ingram then threw a low pass to his left to Bob Antrim.

Sullivan guaged the play and batted the ball, plucking it from the air on the Army three. At first, the referee started to bring the ball back to Army's 20, but Field Judge Miller rushed in, called the penalty, and Navy found the door open to its second victory in three years and 14th in the glamorous series that began in 1890. It wasn't easy for the line-shattering Schmidt from there on, but the broken Cadets had to rive. On the first plunge, Schmidt didn't gain an inch; on the second, he picked up a grudging two yards, on the third, he dove high over his left guard- and the ball was over as the white-capped Middy throng went into a frenzy of exultation. Army Threatens Often.

With more power in the "concentration -that stone wall region within 20 yards of the goalthe Cadets might have turned the struggle, fought before the second biggest crowd in the series' history, into a rout. With their elusive bundle of human TNT. 145-pound Monk Meyer, turning in spectacular runs, the Cadets drove to the Midshipmens' 13- yard line in the first period only to be stopped by great defensive work by six-foot Irwin Fike, Navy end from Normal, Ills. In the second period, the Mule's charges drove the Middies back to their 36, to their 3, and then sevenyard stripe. Meyer tailed only by inches to make first-down on Navy's 3-yard line as Army's best chance faded.

Defeat Is Locals' First In 21 Football Contests Caps Made Fine Record Despite Loss of Eight Regulars of 1935 Champs Yesterday's loss to Charlotte in the State Class A. title game was the first defeat for a Raleigh High School football team in 21 games. Many of the boys who played in yesterday's losing 12-7 clash with the Queen City team helped carry Raleigh to the State grid title a year. ago. The Capitals defeated Winston-Salem, 31-6, in the 1935 championship game.

This year's team won nine games before being detoured off the victory road. Looking Back. Yesterday's defeat broke another record--it was the first setback for a Raleigh representative in State title contest of any type in a long, long time. Raleigh won State titles in football, boxing, basketball, and baseball during the 1935-36 school year; the local cagers also won the basketball crown in 1935, and Raleigh's boxers have emerged as champions of the last three State boxing tournaments. The State football championship won in 1935 was the first for Raleigh since the 1915 eleven completed a three-year domination of North Carolina high school football.

The annual State title series was started in 1913, and Raleigh won in each of the first three years. Yesterday's triumph gave Charsixth State footbail title and prevented Raleigh from advancing from second rank in number of grid titles to a tie for first place. Coaches Rate Praise, Ray Gregson, head coach, and S. O. Brandon, assistant coach, did fine job this year in tutoring the Raleigh boys to the Eastern championship- and they could be proud of the way their charges battled against Charlotte in yesterday's title game.

The boys tried courageously but lost- and they took their defeat as sportsmen. Among players lost from last year's championship eleven were eight regulars--Bruno Mangum and BilL ends; Charlie Wood and Ralph Burt, tackles; John Smith, guard; Bill Spain, center; Junius Page and Merle Senna, backs. Mere listing of such departed talent is testimonial enough to the rebuilding job done by Gregson and his assistant, Coach Brandon. Allen Nelms, now a member of the physical education staff of the Raleigh Y. M.

C. served as assistant to Gregson last year. Brandon, former Campbell College athletic director and grid coach, is in his first season here. This year's grid team was tained by Willard Parker, tackle, and Bill (Red) Smith, halfback.

Baton Rouge, Nov. Louisiana State University retained its Southeastern Conference title for another year and bolstered its Rose Bowl bid today by stampeding through Tulane, its old football foe, 33 to 0, crowd of 48,000 that smashed Southern grid attendance record. The Tigers had set for themselves the of running up a score in line the 24-7 count which Alatask, bama, its rival for a Rose Bowl invitation, ran up on Tulane--and the Tigers neatly called the shot, scoring on speed and pass plays. The former Southern attendance record was 46,880, at the 1935 DukeNorth Carolina game. Tinsley, Milner, Rede and Rohm, did the scoring, with fine blocking and driving assistance from Crass and Coffee.

The victory was overwhelming but the game was not a rout. Time and again play was nip and tuck. Tulane, kept trying hard to score, and it appeared possible that it might do so, even until the final gun. 48,000 Look On as L. S.

Early in the first period, Louisiana stopped Tulane cold and forced it to punt. The kick went to the Wave 46, from where Coffee zoomed a pass te Tinsley.

He snagged it on the 23 and romped over the goal line. Soon afterwards Crass, sub for Coffee, slipped a nine toss to Tinsley to put the ball on the Tulane 31. On the next play, Milner slipped through center and kept going for another tally. Reed, Milner, and Coffee alternated with line cracks and end dashes in the third period until Louisiana put the ball on the Tulane 21. With the Tulane secondary jammed, Coffee passed to Tinsley and the end stepped two yards over the goal.

Early in the fourth period, Crass passed beautifully to Reed. He made the catch on the Wave 44 and romped the rest of the way to score. "Here I Come." The 200-piece Louisiana State band poured out the notes of "California, Here I Come," and a sign bearing that inscription was carried before the L. S. U.

stadium section, arousing great howls of enthusiasm. In the closing minutes, Crass intercepted a pass and ran 15 yards to the Tulane 30. Charles "Pinkey" Rohm whipped around end for a touchdown from there. The line-ups: POS TULANE LA. STATE LT.

1 Coast Folks Have Choice of Louisiana Tigers or Alabama Red Elephants By HERBERT BARKER. New York, Nov. -Louisiana State's powerful Tigers captured the Southeastern Conference championship and kept alive their Rose Bowl hopes today as Navy sank the Army, 7-0, before the largest crowd that ever saw a football game in the East. Rolling over Tulane, 33 to 0, before 48,000 spectators at Baton Rouge, Louisiana State finished its regular season with six victories and no defeats within the conference and eight victories in nine games against all competition. The only blot on the tiger record is an early season tie with Texas.

'Bams Is Second. The L. S. U. triumph over Tulane enabled the Tigers to nose out Alabama for the Southeastern title.

Alabama, unbeaten in nine games, won five conference games but was held to a draw Tennessee. Although Washington's Huskies, Pacitic Coast champions and Far Western color-bearers in the Rose Bowl game at Pasadena on New Year's Day, have not yet selected an opponent, the choice tonight seemed to lie between Alabama and Louisiana State. No championship depended on the Army-Navy duel, fought before a record-breaking crowd of 102,000 packed in the Municipal Stadium in Philadelphia, but it developed the sharpest kind of fighting before the Navy capitalized on two breaks in the shape of Army penalties for pass-interference to score the only touchdown of the game in the closing minutes of the battle. Two other Eastern games produced mild surprises. George Furey grabbed the opening kickoff and dashed 79 yards to a touchdown to give Columbia a 7-0 lead over Stanford's invading Indians.

At Boston, Boston College completed its first, and an emininently successful, season under the coaching of Gil Dobie, with a 13-12 conquest of its traditional rival Holy Cross. Texas Christian, held to a scoreless draw by Southern Methodist, saw its bid for the southwest Conference championship threatened by Arkansas' razorbacks. Arkansas, which lost a Southwest titie in 1933 because an ineligible substitute lineman was used several games, can clinch the championship by whipping Texas next Saturday. Meanwhile, Baylor's late-rallying bears knocked over Rice with a 10- point splurge in the fourth quarter, 10-7, and tied Texas A. and M.

for third place in the Southwest standings. In the Southeastern Conference, Georgia overcame its ancient rival, Georgia Tech, 16-6, while Auburn was beating Florida, 13-0.

MERCER BEARS BEATEN BY MISSISSIPPI STATE State College, Nov. 28 -(P) -The Mississippi State Maroons football team today defeated Mercer College, 32 to 0. today. Mercer held Mississippi State scoreless in the first quarter, and three threats bogged down. But in the second period, State broke loose to score two withdrew, touchdowns.

leavthe regulars ing the game to the reserves. Bob Hardison scored State's first two touchdowns one from the sixinch line, where it was planted by Ike Pickle; the other from three yards away, where it was put by Bernard Ward. Soon after the third period opened, Ward cut through tackle and raced 62 yards to score on one of the most spectacular runs of the season. Fred Walter, State end, engineered the fourth touchdown one minute later. Smith attempted to kick from his 20, and Walters blocked the punt, picked the ball out of the air or the dead run and went 20 yards to score.

Charlotte Goes in Front On Kickoff and Stays Ahead For 12-7 Victory By TOM WALKER, Staff Correspondent. SCHMIDT PRAISED AS MIDDIES' HERO Piccolo -Playing Dutchman Is Center of Post-Game Whooping By Victors By DILLON GRAHAM. Philadelphia, Nov. broke loose in the Navy dressing room late today as threedozen gleeful, whooping gridders hop-skipped in, swatting one another on the shoulders, after Navy's stirring football triumph over "Whoops, we did it, we did it, we beat Army," they yelled, as they ripped, off shoulder jersies pads and loudly shoes, against and their lockerdoors.

Morrell' Had Hunch. Midshipman Rivers J. Morrell, the husky Navy captain and guard, believes in hunches, so he wasn't surprised that the Sailors won.

"I've had a hunch for several weeks now that we had this game in the bag," he said. "I've gotten SO I believe in hunches. And the longer the game went without a score, the more felt we would fight back to get a late touchdown." Schmidt, a piccolo player from Missouri, accomplished the first defeat of Army by a touchdown margin since 1921. Schmidt stood out prominently in all departments. His booming, accurate kicks kept Navy safe at the times Army was pressing hardest.

One of Schmidt's passes set the spark for Navy's Anal drive that culminated in the touchdown. FURMAN WILL OPPOSE NINE GRID FOES IN '37 Greenville, S. Nov. 28. (P) Furman University's Purple Hurricane will play a nine- schedule in 1937, Dr.

As a result. it appears unlikely that there will be a race for the trophy in 1937. title game, TECH IS WRECKED BY ATHENS RIVALS Georgia Bulldogs Cap Season's Comeback By Defeating Engineers, 16-6 Athens, Nov. -Georgia's football team, hopeless in October, capped its comeback march today by cracking Georgia Tech, 16-6, before 23,000 excited fans.

The Bulldogs cashed in on two breaks to ring up safety and a touchdown in the first three periods and then staged a fourthperiod drive of 55 yards to sew it up with another touchdown. Only in the third period did Tech hit a sustained scoring gaitthen it marched 44 yards in 11 plays for a touchdown. The ground-gaining figures showed the bitter state rivals well matched in offenses. Georgia rushed the ball for a net of 120 yards, to 118 for the Yellow Jackets. The Georgia margin lay in greater alertness.

The home lads intercepted tour Tech passes and pounced on two fumbles. Story of Scoring. Georgia staged an early march, but Hays cut it short after it carried to the Tech 20 by intercepting a Georgia toss. A moment later, a snap from center sailed wild over the goal and Konemann, who recovered for Tech, was swarmed under and thrown for two points. The rest of the first and second quarters rocked along with neither side able to generate any real drive.

Soon after the third period opened, neat punting by Sims gave the Jackets the ball on the Georgia 44 after a kick exchange. Appleby, Sims, and Konemann chopped off this yardage in short chunks. Sims went the final 10 yards, on a reverse, behind good blocking by Jordan. The kick failed. Georgia more than cancelled this before the period was over.

Hall smacked Koremann hard and the ball bounced out of the Tech back's hands, Maffett of Georgia dropping it on the Tech 19. Johnson swept wide around his left end to score. Jones intercepted an Engineer toss soon afterward on the Georgia 35. Anderson capped the 10-play march by flipping a six-yard scoring pass to Johnson who made the catch in the end zone.

EAGLES TAKE WIN OVER CRUSADERS Boston College Edges 13-12 Surprise Victory Over Holy Cross Eleven Boston, Nov. -Boston College's under-rated Eagles spotted Holy Cross two early touchdowns and then outbattled their powerful Jesuit it rivals for a 13-12 victory in a blinding snowstorm today. The game was played before 25,000, at Fenway Park. The Crusaders, who started without Bill Osmanski, their outstanding ball-carrier, capitalized two miscues during the first five minutes of play and appeared to have the game well under control until several of their strongest linewen were injured.

Paul Bartolomeo recovered a fumble for Holy Cross on the enemy's 21, then tossed a scoring pass to Quarterback Rex Kidd, whose placekicking for the extra points proved to be a pair of costly failures. The Holy Cross tackles, Hip Moncewicz and Dave Gavin, blocked a kick, and the latter pursued the bouncing ball. It took a high hop on the 20 and he gathered it in and raced over for the second touchdown. About a minute before the Arst half ended, the Eagles tookoff for a 55-yard flight that ended with Di Natale plunging over from the twoyard line and subsequently placekicking what proved to be the winning point. From then on the Eagles dominated the play, and early in the final quarter Kintoff drove over from the three-yard line.

Wartman's 102-yard run a touchdown on the opening kickoff and a scoring pass in the third quarter gave Charlotte a 12-7 victory over Raleigh's high school eleven here the State Class championship game before 4,000. The defeat put an end to a Raleigh winning streak which had run through 20 games and took from the Capitals the championship cup they won here last year.

And it was Raleigh's second loss to Charlotte a grid title game. The Queen City's eleven of 1930 bested Raleigh's by a 14-6 score in the State finals. Wartman's long run clearly was the best play of the day, and it so stunned the Purple Hurricanes that they did not fully get over the listlessness that set in afterward. The Capitals did push Coach Bob Allen's Wildcats around at times, though, and they got the ball over Charlotte's goal line on two occasions. But one of the touchdowns was of the variety that doesn't count, and they could make only one good.

long pass in the second quarter enabled Willis Kimrey to cross the last line, but the head linesman's horn had blown and officials ruled that both teams were offside on the play and so the score was voided. Bill Smith Scores. In the fourth quarter, Raleigh drove 67 yards for the touchdown that stuck. Charlotte fumbles, the strong passes of Wiley Bullock, and consistent line-bucking by Bill Smith played parts in the push, climaxed when Bili smashed over from the yard line. Smith converted on another buck.

Wartman vindicated all his pregame praisers with his touchdown run, and to him probably should go the credit for Raleigh's subjagation, although shortly afterward he had to leave the game permanently because of injuries. His dash was the worst dose the Hurricanes had to swallow in their 10-game season, and the setback it gave them was too much to overcome. Wartman was standing on his own goal line when Jim Smith sent the ball down the field on the opening kickoff. The Charlotte speedster backed up to a about two yards behind the goal to take the ball Raleigh players began massing get him. Carter Misses Close Tackle.

The run was almost over a second or two after it started. Cutie Carter, brilliant Raleigh center, dived for Wartman at the five-yard line and missed him only inches. Two other Hurricanes misfired on attempted tackles just after Carter's dive, and Wartmian shot for sidelines to He reached the boundary at about the 30, broke through a trio of Capitals, and checked out right along the sidelines. outran Raleigh's safety man to get in the clear little past midfleld, and went over the goal line going away. Hart's kick for the extra point was low, and he Hurricanes were trailing for the first time in games.

It was a little too much for them to get over. They displayed spirit only at intervals during the mainder of the game, although figures show they outgained Wildcats during the second, third and fourth periods. Raleigh first downs to a pair for Charlotte. Ray Gregson's Hurricanes are due only praise, however, despite fact that they lost the ball game and although they didn't play up to standard they attained in previous games. They took their defeat well, and there was no howling.

Their supporters, too. were just as levelheaded as the players, and the cheering was just as strong at the end of the game as at the start. Smith Leads Capitals. Not too much credit can be given to Bill Smith, Raleigh's quarterback and a co-captain. His work as field general and his steady running kept the Hurricanes in the game, and most inspired the Capitals to victory.

Wiley Bullock, Don Roberts, Bobby Miller, Raleigh's other starting backs, also should come in a large share of the plaudits. Despite being knocked out on a tackle in third quarter, Bullock stayed in game and did his job of blocking backing up the line in great style. It was he who threw the passes which led to the Capitals' tally. Miller turned in a fine ance in returning punts. Once scampered back 19 yards following a Charlotte kick.

Roberts did little ball-carrying, but he was powerful as a blocker and in the secondary defense. Line Stars Plentiful. In Raleigh's line, there is little to choose between Everette Carter, center. Co-captain Willard Parker, tackle. Leon Tilley, guard, and Preacher Weeks, end.

They trailed Bullock's punts like hawks, and they held the Charlotte backs to net gain of 33 yards in runs from scrimmage. Weeks caught the passes that opened the way for Smith to score in the third period. Parker, on tackle-around plays, picked up 25 yards in two of the best gains from scrimmage racked up by Raleigh. Huckabee and Tom Smith. the Wildcats' fullback and left halfback, were by far the best bets the Queen City put on the field in addition to Wartman.

Huckabee slammed hard at the Hurricane line all afternoon, (Please Turn to Page Sis) as to by a 10 rethe the 11 the the aland for the the and DAVIDSON'S HARRIERS WIN AGAINST MERCER Davidson, Nov. 28- -Davidson's cross-country team defeated Mercer this afternoon, 21 to 34, to end its season's schedule.
