  ARMY. BEATS NAVY, 700, BEFORE 10000. MiddieS Make Dogged but Futile Stand Against Su- perior Strength. special DlSpatcn 10 / ne SJar. PHILADELPHIA, December Sur rounded by sweltering, colorful, packed-in mass of 10000 spectators, Army beat the Navy, 20 to 0. today bemeath a December sun that belonged to June. In wide range of talent from Jack Buckler of Waco, Tex, to Chung -Hoon of Hawaii, the two teams put on a swirling, varied attack amid all the vocalistc thunder that accompanies an Army Navy game, but as the hot, broiling afternoon wore along the Army had too much speed, power and experience for the Navy to roll back. AS a result of superior arsenal. of bigger and better guns, the fancy insignia crowning the Navy goat was transferred to the Army mule as the cheering Cadets in gray swarmed out upon the field at the end OF the game and took over the victory march. One of the greatest foot ball crowds of the year, 10000 strong, with over 10000 packed outside, sat for over four hours to first watch the Cadets and Mid shipmen parade across the field. But after the game started the Army backs alone continued this parade of golden helmets as Vidal, Frentzel and Buckler carried the ball across the Navy goal line. Tropical Afternoon. It was a strange and amazing day for Northern December weather. In place of furs and furbelows, coonskin coats and blankets, half-cooked spec tators found the heat of the tropics, as both teams frequently became exhausted with frequent demands for rest and water. There were gay and vivid spots OF color that turned Franklin Field into a flower garden as the Army line out charged it’s Navy rivals and the Army attack put on better combination of speed and driving power, in which the brilliant kicking of Ken Fields and the passing and running of Jack Buckler played the leading roles. For the better part of three periods a scrappy, hustling Navy team tougnt OH cne Army drive after another in holding the score to seven points. But when Jack Buckler, the Texas brcncho, opened his passing and hammering attack in the fourth period, the weary and worn Navy defense finally fell apart The uncannv craftsmanship OF Ken Fields right foot, the speed of Vidal and the double threat Of Buckler were the prime factors in Nays down. fall. This trio, with Kilday, operated back of better line, and this nearly always tells the story. Fields today could hit water bucket at 40 or As yards, and it was kicking that had the Navy crowded back near its own goal line most of the afternoon. Chung Hcon. the loose-hipped Hawaiian from the Navy, added dash and color to the scene with his running, kicking | and passing, but he was badly hurried by q charging Army line. Anyway, the sole representative flSm the land of the Eastern Islands provN that he could play his full share of foot ball in every department of the game. Navy Makes Early Threat. II was the Navy that first got the Jump and that first threatened to score The trouble started when Murray intercepted Fields forward on the Army’s 47-yard line. Without any preliminary | warning the Navy assault began. Clarke | broke just outside of tackle twice in succession through gaping holes to carry the ball to Army’s 13-yard line. An offside penalty sent the Army to its B-yard mark and here the naval salute was one mighty vocal barrage after CONTINUED on Page 5, Column 1)

This has been proved over and again, but never more corclusively than in Armys smashing 20 to 0 victory over Navy on Franklin fleld’ Philadelphia. Saturday. Navy, coached by four sons OF South Bend, used almost the .identical attack and defense the irish had employed against the Cadets a week earlier. But whereas Notre Danes backs crashed through at will and its line piled up the Army attack. Nays ball carriers were shackled and its defense riddled by the fast, hard-charging West Point forward wall. 1t requires no mental genius to make the correct deduction here Navy just didn’t have the man pow err.
