I thought the boys did swell with the T. although they only practiced it a few days. Likewise the play on which Hank Mazur. after getting a Busik punt. handed the ball to Ralph Hill for a 57-yard return to set up Army’s only touchdown, was rehearsed only a short time. If we could have had more men to put in, maybe” unused Blaik with a wishful sigh. II thought Bob Evans. our CEN ter, Mazur and Busik played swell. Evans played the full so minutes and is a champion if ever there is one. Mazur also played the whole game, while Busik’s kicking hurt us a lot
