  IRISH TEAM 0UTGUESSED BY SOLDIERS Touchdowns Scored on Intercepted Pass and Two For. ward losses eagle IS ARMY STAR Rockne’s Men Unleash Brilliant Aerial Attack in Final Minutes ASSOCl6teO TIcSS 0pOItS VI1VeE New York, Nov. 14.-An alert army team, trained to the minute mentally and physically, stopped Notre Dame in its tracks Saturday to win an exciting but none too we’ll played football game, 18 to 0. The fighting team from South Bend never quit fighting, but it never had a chance. The army was in COM mand of the situation throughout. The soldiers outguessed the civilians and outtackled them. Notre Danes tackling did not do it q bit Of good and it’s defensive tactics at times were badly run down at the heel. Irish Have Edge Notre Dame gained an edge in earned first downs with IL to 8, but five of the losers were made in the final quarter when Notre Dame unleashed dazzling forward passing attack, interesting but not conclusive since it came too late to help the desperate situation in which Knute Rockne and his men had been placed by the previous developments. Keener eagle, who comes from the sugar bowl Of Louisiana and proved himself as sweet q football player as his environment would suggest, started the army on its way by scor-. ing the first touchdown and heaped on the last for good measure after Billy having had injected one in between. eagle Spirits – Yards eagle, who did his undergraduate football work at Southwestern Louisiana before going in for post grad uate work at the United States mill tary academy, gave the cadets their first chance for the long cheer soon after hostilities opened. The ball was on Notre Danes 49, yard line when the Merryville lad run back and gave every indication that he was about to toss a forward pass to Born, an end who was leg ging it down the field. eagle, how. ever, chose to run instead Of throw, and he slipped away from two Notre Dame payers who were almost in his path and was on his way. He did not stop until the goal line was behind him.

  Nearing the final curtain of the 1927 football season, we find more and more that the grid prognosti- Gator is quite a guesser. The old football game just won’t be run &C cording to the advance opinions. We are looking for the fellow who predicted Indiana University would trounce Northwestern, 1917. Likewise the bigger upset-Butler, 10; Wabash, 6. 1t might be said that Pat Page, crafty coach at Indiana, who proved he had defense by tying Minnesota and an offenSe by scoring SO points on Michigan State, used those two points to key his squad to send at the demoralized Wildcats. The slicker in which Reinhardt skids off tackle for a delayed cutback sent the Northwest ern team on defense, as Indiana scored a touchdown in the opening minutes of play Saturday. } 1t was grand victory, one that will instill confidence for the Purdue conflict next Saturday. 1t became quite evident Saturday that the Notre Dame line has been over-rated, especially on offense. Time after time the Army line smothered Notre Danes running at tack before it was started. Army won, 18 to 0. The Irish failed to stop eagle, who outsmarted them with his fake pass play, which once turned out to be a 48-yard run for a counter. He later caught a pass and ran 10 yards for a touchdown. Nave intercepted an Irish pass and converted it into another. Collier Leads Butler indianapolis fans we’re treated to the biggest surprise possible as But Ter swung into an early offensive that gave it confidence to defeat Wabash, IS to 6. When the Bull dog attack gets under way early 1t is hard to stop. A long pass, Fro muth to Collier, on which Collier ran
