Kri-tM-. F''inr nfipr rotihdf.u i.il to the Free Pri MIAMI After yielding a touchdown to the University of Detroit in the first four minutes, the University of Miami came rctrinz to win its final me of tho foot can season. 21 to 7. It was a affair and provided many thrills for the spectators. The fa.i looked on in astonishment as the heavier Titans drove 62 varus for a touchdown the first they gained possession of the tail.

It was trickery as well as rower that put the Titans' ahead. TIIK HURRICANES started a tu h'iown in the same pert od an i climaxed a 45-yard march in th'- rr. 1 quarter. They added two t-: ut in the third pe-! i. but was practically a pift.

Miami had an excellent ally in the tropical heat which slowed down the Titans. As the game progressed, a hard-charging Hurricane line did its part toward cheeking: the Titan plays. for their rushing Five, the visitors were forced into the air in a vain attempt to win. They completed only four of 13 passes and were kept on the defense most cf the second half. I WHEN MIAMI failed to pain after the opening kickeff.

Harry, Ghaul runted out on Detroit's 3-5. Le-nard Rittof smacked left fr 11 vards. Then the Titans uncorked a play which the Hurricanes diagnosed as an end run. Their post-mortem revealed that Bill Ilaley had gone through the center of the line on a quick-opening play and ped il yards to soore. Hart p--in: and De t-i The Hurrica eJ th extra wa- ahead, 7 were storned on their whe: st attempt to tie the score Archie Kellv recovered Dave Eldred's of a shovel the Titan 20.

EARLY IN THE seen quarter Miami drve 77 on 16 plays or.lv to lose the ball when Bob Mcbousil fumbled and Dan Boi-Eture recovered on the six. Carl Mosso brought Jac Simmons punt back to Detroit's 48, and the Hurricanes clicked on a 13-yard pass. An excessive time-out penalty against th Titans helped, and then Mos.o rammed the line for A roughing penalty put the ball within a yard cf the double stripes. Two plays later Mosso smashed right tackle to score. Ken Hawkins kicked perfectly and the score was tied.

SHORTLY AFTER half kickoff, Detroit f. fourth-down pass the second-messed up from center and Miami took Titan 10. On the play rammed right guard down and a -ram H. over or the Bill Krasr.ai the kicked perfectly to put the Hurricanes ahead, 14 to 7. The Titans had to punt after receiving the kitknff, and Joe Kmll set the stage fur a fifty-yard march by returning the kick to inklfiehi.

A fifteen-yard roughing- penalty on Detroit and a seventeen-yard smash by Me-Dougal helped advance the ball to the one-yard line. I The Titan line resisted two lunges by McDougal, but Krull finally broke through. Hawkins' conversion made the score 21 to 7.

inkl Ull I. KH Mr IKn.i! 1 Ji F.TKI MtVMI 0 But hold your hat the morning mail brings a message that neither of those teams no, sir! nor UCLA, either, is the national champion. The message claims that title for Coach Johnny Hackett's Wayne Tartars and takes a couple of pages of copy to prove it. Here it is: let the reports concerning the Army-Xotre Dame game fool you. Contrary to public opinion, the two teams aren't tied for the mythical national football championship, but rather are only ranners-up Universitv.

to the real VICTORY FOR the Black Knights of Coach Earl (Red) Blaik would give them at least a share of the national mythical championship, a title they won hands down in 1944 and 1945. If Notre Dame gets by Southern California and they are heavy favorites the Fighting Irish will be cut in for hilf the crown- Not since Navv turned the trick in 1943 with a 13-0 vic-I tory at iVest Point, has Army known defeat on the gridiron. Should the 1946 Midshipmen defeat the Cadets, it would rank as one of the greatest upsets in gridiron Navy, of course, will be shoot- ir.g the works in trying to make up for the seven consecutive defeats the most in a row in Annapolis history that have come its way since an opening game 7-0 tri umph over Villanova. The Middies fell before Columbia, Duke, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech and Penn State, losing most I of them because of their own mis- takes. Army has rolled over Villa- nova, Oklahoma, Cornell, Michi- gan, Columbia, Duke, West Vir- gtnia and Pennsvlvania.

ALL THOSE heart-breaking Navy defeats would be forgotten if the Middies could upend the iOaritts But urle-oi. there is mnre itn sririt arH the tn win than the odds figure them to i. season by doing what comes nat urally losing. Army will be at full strength for this grand finale with Her-schel (Ug) Fuson, who was missed so much in the Notre Dame tie, ready to go after being out for nearly four weeks with shoulder separation. Navy will be handicapped by the loss of two of its better backs Joe Bartos and Al McCully i injuries to a number of others vvn0 probably will see only limited service.

AS THEY HAVE stacked up on their performances this season, there is only one man in the Navy line-up Center Dick Scott who probably could make the Army team. The Middies have no one to compare with Doc Blanchard, Glenn Davis, Arnold Tucker, Hank Foldberg and Barney Poole. It will be the last game for "i rimy Blurs ana with them -on' the vietnHon witn inem grone, tne ictorious march of the Cadets is expected to reach journey's end before the 1947 season verv far gone. The biggest losses, of course, will be Blanchard and Davis, the touchdown terrors who were al most a team in themselves. It is generally agreed that football never has seen two greater backs playing on the same team.
