Erdelatz, in New York today to address a football gathering, will find Navy an underdog against Army for the first time since the West Point cribbing scandal that followed Navy’s memorable 14–⁠2 victory in 1850 Against their four mutual foes, the Cadets have surpassed Navy in three instances. Army won easily. 27–⁠0. against Dartmouth but Navy smothered the same team, 55–⁠7. Otherwise Army beat Duke. 14–⁠13. and the Blue Devils fought Navy to a score less tie: Penn beat Navy, 9–⁠6, and bowed to Army. 21–⁠14. and the Cadets walloped Columbia, 40–⁠7.
