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.

Robert Kelly (arrow). Notre Dams's starry back, ploughs through Dartmouth line for 10-yard gain
In early moments of first quarter. 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.
