ben tagged: Navy "the Immova
ble object," and Army "the ir
resistible force." Because of
Navy's great line, Purdue crossed
midfleld only once, on a drive
from the four to Navy's 32. And
Purdue's passing game was
smothered completely, netting
only six yards in seven tries.
Meanwhile the soldiers from
West Point, who have been roll
ing up adding machine figures
all season, clicked off nine
touchdowns- as their lightning
backs broke away again and
again for long runs.
And that's the pattern of play
that makes the approaching clas
sic shape up as the gridiron's
great "natural." The $64 ques
tion is: What will happen when
brilliant backs like Doc Blan
chard, Glenn Davis and Dean
Sensanbaugher smack into the
Middles' impregnable wall, form

AT RIVERSIDE USO
Major Vera B. Marts arrived
Saturday to assume duties as
director pro tern at the River
side USO until arrangements can
be made for the transfer of the
permanent director to be assign
ed to the club. Major Marts
works as a "director at large"
in this USO region, filling in as
director in clubs which are tem
porarily short handed.
Plans are being made for a
full program on Thanksgiving
day, which will include home
hospitality for servicemen and a
formal dance from 9 to 12 p. m.
Soldiers are asking for invita
tions, both at the service club
at Camp White, and at the USO
club. Medford housewives are
urged to call the USO if they
can welcome a serviceman. Din
ners should be planned for the
evening as the soldiers will not
be free until after 4 p. m.
The "Millionaire's Ball" held
on Friday evening induced a rec
ord crowd of servicemen and
Junior Hostesses to throw "mon
ey" away like water. The party
was held in the lounge, with a
"Monte Carlo" room provided
for those who weren't interested
in dancing. The bogus "cash"
provided for the occasion caused
much hilarity as servicemen
pooled their resources for a "big
deal," or found themselves sud
denly penniless.
