'Anny'i oni of flum and gravy
roared to tneir first undefeated
season In 28 years today when
(two lowly plcbes, a bull-should

lightning-like lad from Los An

'third period when the. terrific

t their 9-0 lead to two slim points,
i the 'gray-clad men from the
' banks of the Hudson called in
' their two all-American aces,
, Felix Blanchard and fleet-footed
i Glen Davis, and the pair came
: through to carry the cadets to
5 the mythical .national gridiron
championship.
; ' It was Blanchard, the batter-
s mg fullback from Louisiana by
l way of South Carolina, who
' blew the Middies down In the
: early moments of the final quar-

once again put Army In the lead.
"And it was Davis, the free-

Navy drove them back deep into
their own territory In the first
quarter.
But finally -the Cadets recov
ered their poise, the striking
power and finesse which had led
them to eight straight previous
victories as they rolled up 481
points tops for any team in this
nation. When the final whistle
blew, as cold shadows lengthen
ed over the sun-swept but near
freezing field, Army had come
back to the long-awaited top.
The churning legs of Blanchard
and the flitting form of Davis
had carried it to its first un
beaten season since 1916 and the
third in Army gridiron history.
In nine games they had pow
ered to a staggering tctal of 504
points and finally they had
