Doc Blanchard, solid as a dollar and just as hard to hold on to, wore a grin as wide as his face as he peeled off his playing clothes in the Army dressing room deep under Yankee stadium where he and his mates had humbled Notre Dame, 48-0. we want to go to the Rose yelled the all-America fullback who scored two touchdowns and split the Irish defense wide open time after time with his smashing drives this gray afternoon. they left it up to the squad, you can bet all vote to accept a bid to the Rose he declared.

Several other happy cadet gridders around him nodded approval. But their ambition probably never will be realized if the decision is left up to Army Coach Earl (Red) Blaik, found quietly talking to well-wishers outside the Army dressing room. the season is over have enough for tjiis said the headman of the number one football, team who had just watched his powerful cadets score in every period to lay claim to their, second straight national championship and boost their twoyear winning streak to 16 games in the foremost football spectacle of the 1945 campaign. He hastened to add that there was nothing official about his desire to wind up the season with the Navy game Dec. that it was purely personal and that the final decision had not been made.

Colonel Lawrence (Biff) Jones, graduate manager of athletics at West Point and one of the first to hurry to the Notre Dame dressing room to shake the hand of Irish Coach Hugh Devore, merely smiled when asked about possibilities of accepting a Rose Bowl bid. nothing we can say he exclaimed.

The story book finish was provided by Merl Norcross of Kingston, who not only scored those six vital points, but also personally engineered the 47 yard drive that set up the game's lone marker. William and Mary made repeated scoring threats, twice penetrating within the Tar Heel 20 yard stripe, but lacked the necessary punch to reach pay dirt. Wiith only several minutes left on the ball game, the crowd, was expectthe game to end as last contest between the two teams, in a scoreless deadlock. But then along came Norcross. The Tar Heels took an Indian punt on their own 47 and a pass from Norcross to Oliphant was incomplete.

On the next play Norcross, who was elevated from the junior varsity only this week, circled his left end and streaked 24 yards to the Indian 23. Little Merl twisted around his right end for six and a moment later rifled an eight yard pass to Rubish, good for a first down on the William and Mary nine. The referee said two minutes remained. Norcross hit the line for two yards. He fired another pass at Rubish but it was incomplete.

On the next play, Norcross crashed through right tackle, tore forward for seven yards and fell across the goal line. Bob attempted placement was low. Both teams failed to clock consistently in the air department. The tribe completed four forward passes out of 18 attempted for a profit of 45 yards.

North Carolina threatened to score in the first period when it marched from its own 35 to the Tribe 27.

A capacity crowd of 59,114 sat in awe through a cold, intermittent mist to watch a vastly improved Navy pour it on a good but completely demoralized Michigan one of the best of the big ten conference of five touchdowns stemed from breaks, but the mighty middies were a new and in. spired team this chilled afternoon.

Gathering momentum as the game progressed, they unveiled a deceptive and speedy offensive, blocked and tackled fiercely and were supreme defensively. At peak strength for the first time in more than a mctath, Navy played perhaps its best game of the season. It was a team victory, with five different men accounting for five touchdowns. me Diue jacKeis scoicu uutc iu each of the first two periods, twice in the third and once more in the final frame. only score came in the second period after Navy had rolled to a 13-0 led.

For more than 50 sodden minutes an underdog Pitt football team threatened to spring the upset of a scoreless tie, or even a victory, in its football game with Ohio State in the muck and mire that was the Pitt stadium field today, but the aroused, desperate Buckeyes finally surged to two quick touchdowns and a 14 to 0 victory. Twenty thousand drooping and bedraggled spectators who braved the steady, dreary drizzle were rewarded with thrilling defensive stands by the Pitt team, and even one mighty, but futile, threat by the Panthers, before Ohio Stare speed and might had its way. That one great threat, at the start of the final period, was the swan song of the stubborn Pitt eleven.
