  Army and Notre Dame Players Subdued by ScoreIess Tie NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The roar of rs 900 voices was heard family in the passageway under Yankee Sta dunn as a door opened and a ‘‘beaten-” Notre Dame team filed into its dressing room. 1t wasn’t beaten, Of course. The Irish had put up whale of bat tie to hold a fine Army team to a scoreless tie. But in every move, every attitude the Irish looked like a detected group of players. They obviously had expected to win and were disappointed. Later, after Coach Frank Leahy had kept the press and well v1shers waiting a half hour while he and his players took their showers and cooled off, Quarterback Johnny Lujack put it this way: “I hope we didn’t disappoint too many people. Here it was the foot ball battle of the century and we stunk it out” Leahy, smiling and affable, was somewhat more conservative in his analysis. “ 1.-The boys are a little bit depressed” he said. I’VE really expected to win. st really was amazed at the dis play of fine defensive football by both teams. I thought they both would score at least two or three touchdownS. He put it mildly when he said “a little bit depressed. There was hardly a sound in the big locker room. Lujack, who played virtually the entire game at quarterback for No tire Dame, said his sprained ankle was swollen bit but didn’t trouble him too much. 1t was the tendency to tumble when Notre Dame started to march that bothered him more. ARMY was the toughest team we faced, both extensively and defensively,” he said. Navy won’t be in the game with them”
