  Navy Beats Purdue In a Mere Tuneup The amazing Bluejacket line was an impenetrable wall as Purdue suffered its first shutout in 1S games. Only once did the Boiler makers pose a threat. That was in the second period when they drove TO Nays 81. They never got that close again: in fact, never again crossed the midfield stripe. And whatever punch the Boilermakers could muster was lost completely toward the end of the third period when their star runner – Boris Dimancheff-suffered a leg injury and was carried off the field. Navy used four full teams in the rout. There were stars galore. but If any single individual stood out above the rest il was triple-threat Hal Hamberg, who played his first full game in a month. Hamberg set up Nays first three touchdowns with his passing and brilliant running and kept Purdue constantly in the hole with his punting.
