Medford :.i2 AIR FORCE SQUAD E DAI. 59-0 AFTER13 YEARS Irish Take Worst Beating In Their History And Never Had Chance New York. Nov. 11 (U.PJ Army, after 13 long years of trying, finally overcame the football legions of Notre Dame today and made up for all those vain attempts by giving the Irish the worst beating in their gridiron history, 59 to 0. The triumph went a long way toward establishing Army as the gridiron king of 1944. They kept going through the Irish like Jhe Americans went through the Germans in Nor mandy and had not Coach Earl (Red) Blalk been lenient at times, the Army well could have plied up one of the biggest scores of any football season. They did enough as it was and the process accomplished with' an assist from Navy something which never had been done against Notre Dame before losing to both Army and Navy In the same year. Notre Dame had only one chance to score and the clock stopped that as it ticked off the first half. The only threat ening Notre Dame did after that was to try to get out of Its half of the gridiron. And It did that only twice counting that first nair drive. . The Cadets, with a fast hard charging line and fleet and sure blocking backs, kicked off and with their unyielding defense forced Notre Dame to punt. Army got in on the Notre Dame 44 and marched down to the Irish 6-yard line. With fourth down and goal to go the Army was stopped cold, but both teams were offside and the Cadets received another chance. That was all they need ed for Kenna took the ball and carried It over. That, was the first of nine Army touchdowns and the Army distributed its offensive power evemy scoring 20 points in the first period and 13 In each of xne otner three. The Irish took to the air after that first Army score and the attempt backfired. Blanchard intercepted a pass to set up the second Army score. Another pass lntercetion set up the third touchdown. Davis led the touchdown pa rade with three, but the man who did most of the key block ing failed to get a point. Notre Dame sained onlv 170 yards in all. Most of that was deep In Irish territory. The Army gained 326 yards in all and wasted none of it. Los Angeles, Nov. 11 (U.R) The University of California at Los' Angeles Bruins gained a doubtful revenge today over the California Bears by out-mudding the Bears, 7 to 0, before 12,000 rain-soaked, shivering fans at the Memorial coliseum.
