y. y.i vr' r'i 1 7 DIFFERENT PLAYERS SHARE IN TD FEAST i OI -li. M. Runs Army Right 11 were scored by seven different players. Jimmy Pace, Terry Barr, Bob Ptacek, Gary Prahst, John Herrnstein, Jim Van Peit and Jim Maddock each accounted for one.

The University Michigan ground once proud Army into an ignominious 48-14 defeat before 93.101 sun-bathed fans in the huge Wolverine bowl. This was one of the worst defeats in the Cadets' 67-year gridiron historv A 1 1 Kir.t dim ns Itiishifii: nlai: I'M 1 I 1 tti 7-1 I 7-11 nor a defense that caused the first two Michigan units the slightest bit of trouble. In addition, the Cadets were hit by another epidemic of fumbles. A year ago against the Wolverines in a 26-2 loss they fumbled nine times.

Saturday they committed eight fumbles and lost the ball on six of those occasions. IT IS AN OLD, old story that you can't make frequent mistakes, against Michigan and stay healthy. Army learned that the hard way and literally the Cadets were fortunate to escape alive. Michigan scored once in the first quarter, three times in the second period and added its final three touchdowns in the third period. Ti.

THEN" IX 1951, the season after Army was rocked by the "cribbing scandal" that led to the wholesale ouster of talented football stars, the West Pointers were trounced, 42 to 7, by Navy and the following season lost to Georgia Tech, 45 to 6. Army came here with victories over Virginia and Penn State and a ranking as the East's "outstanding team." But virtually from the opening kickoff it was clear the East's finest was strictly a second-rate power when pitted against a team from the Big Ten.

Oosteibaan pulled his punches throughout the final half by flooding the field with reserves. His full lineup of first stringers never took the field after the intermission and in the final quarter it was a mixture of third and fourth-stringers who opposed Army. It was against these deep-down substitutes that the Cadets garnered both their touchdowns in the final five minutes of play. The Wolverines used 49 players. How deep Oosteibaan went is indicated by the fact Michigan had its fifth-string quarterback in the game in the final minutes.
