  Notre Dame Unimpressive in Win Over Navy; Wabash, De Paw Tie Notre Dame and Navy battled at Cleveland before $4,000, the largest crowd to witness a college game in the middle west this season. While; Notre Dame turned in an unimpres-S sive IL to win, Navy captured all the glory by staging a great defensive battle that halted the Irish varsity attack twice inside the five yard line and once only foot from goal. Big Jim Leonard featured the the Irish second team attack in the first half and the line in front of him performed nobly. There was tendency to favor the Ohio boys of both teams, and Joe Sheeketski. chunky little blocking half back of the Irish starred, scoring both touchdowns in the second quarter. With Army one week away and Southern California shortly after, things look anything but bright for the Irish, who failed to block and tackle in the usual Notre Dame style. There are many who feel Noble Kizer was generous to Indiana Saturday. They feel the Boilermakers might well have made the count bigger. Closing his great college career, Paul Moss, the best bid of Hoosierdom for an all-America berth, wrapped himself in a blanket of glory by sterling performance in both pass catching and kicking. He took two perfect heaves from Duane PurviS and galloped over the line with both of them covering half the gridiron. The Purdue blocking was perfect as Hecker and Purvis galloped around the ends and through tackle The Hoosier line between tackles played stubbornly on defense most of the time but when touchdown was needed that way in the second quarter, Roy Horstmann bucked through handily. At GreencaStle, the first half was all Wabash, the second half De Paw, which made the scoreless tie about right. Two passes, Smith to Whitney, and Smith to Wrona, car ried the ball twenty-four yards once, but De Paw smothered the close goal line thruSts. Again march in which Gerow, Warner and Elmer Petersen featured, made thirty-nine yards, but it was halted on the g. yard stripe. For De Paw a pass, Wheaton to B. Bradley, carried the oval to the five-yard line, but a tumble lost the oval to the Scarlet. In the clos ing minutes a pass, Wheaton to Bishop, gained twenty-six yards to the Wabash 17-yard line. but the next heave to Bradley, who was open in the end zone, missed by inches and the game ended. Hanover scored another 26–⁠0 win over Oakland City at Hanover, the same count that they triumphed by when the two met month ago at Oakland City. Meese, the star full back of the Hilltoppers, was in great form and cracked the Oak line for three touchdoWns.
