TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Monday. Oct. It, 1944 1 What Has Happened to Navy? Grid Season's Main Mystery Notre Dame Irish Smother Darthmouth By Jack Cuddy United Press Correspondent New York, Oct. 18. U.PJ Biggest mystery of the current football campaign Is: What has happened to Navy? In pre-season estimates, the Middies of Annapolis shaped up as one of the most powerful elevens ever to wear the blue and gold. Prognosticators unani mously picked them to repeat for the Lambert trophy, emblematic of eastern supremacy. Many en thusiasts even reached for the laurel crown of national cham pionship. It seemed that nothing prob ably not even Notre Dame could stop this which Cmdr. Oscar "Swede" Hagberg took over when Cmdr. John "Billick" Whelchel shifted to sea duty. Hagberg's outfit seemed to have everything and in depth. Beaten At Outset However, this highly-touted Navy team was- beaten in its opening game, 21-14, by North Carolina Pre-Flight. Whereupon the stunned experts chorused, "Goshl those Carolina cloudbust ers must have the most powerful team in the country." Which ap parently was an over-statement: because it came to pass that only last Saturday N. C. Pre-Flight was held to a 13-13 deadlock by Virginia, which already had suc cumbed to North Carolina State, which had succumbed to Clem son, which had been beaten by Georgia Tech, 51-0. Incidentally, Navy engages Georgia Tech at Atlanta Saturday. Navy did better In its second: game, beating Fcnn State 65-141 a creditable performance, tho by no means startling. Penn State has had a mediocre team this year, as witness its 26-0 de feat by wobbly Cornell and its eye-lash victory over weak Franklin and Marshall. Duke Found Tough In the third Navy encounter, last Saturday at Baltimore, the Middies were forced to the limit to eke out a 7-0 victory over Duke. If Duke had come into this contest unbeaten; if Duke had a team that was a national threat Navy's difficulties with the Blue Devils might have been understood. But Duke already had been humbled by Pcnnsyl- dreadnaughtj vanla and by the same Norfh Carolina cloudbusters that upset Navy. Actually, the Middies were lucky to emerge from the Duke game without a defeat or a dead lock, their play was so ragged. They fumbled six times, losing the ball to Duke on three of those occasions. Their running attack lacked certitude and ex- plosiveness. They completed one pass. Duke dominated play in the lost half and drove deep into Navy territory three times. Bewildered observers blinked their eyes and asked, "Is this the same Navy team that was picked to bid menacingly for the nation al title? Yes it's the same outfit; but something apparently has happened to it. Just what has happened to Navy is the biggest mystery of current football. Per haps Georgia Tech's unbeaten Engineers can come up with the answer when they make a scien tific investigation at Atlanta Sat urday. Y -4 TV r .

The romblin' Irish of Notre Dame made their first football trip to Boston a never-to-be-forgotten one by handing Dartmouth's badly outclassed Indians a 64 to 0 beating before 41.000 fans at Fenway Park.- It was the worst football defeat Dartmouth has suf fered in 60 years of competition. I Mack Lillard announced today that Buck Davidson and the Mask have agreed to appear on the weekly wrestling card at the Medford armory Thursday night. This arrangement climaxes their brawl of two weeks ago when , the referee was forced to call a foul on Davidson, giving the bout to the Mask. Davldsnn has promised to grapple legally and refrain from removing the Mask's hood. But whether he will actually stick to his bargain remains to be seen. This will be the main event on the Thursday oard running two but of three falls or an hour's ac tual wrestling time.
