Army, Navy Leaders in Total Yards New York U.R) Every attacking weapon in the book will be at the full and expert disposal of both sides when Army an'd Navy clash in their climax game of the 1954 season at Philadelphia Saturday. They are one-two in total of fense among the nation's major colleges and have compiled an unusual record of versatility, NCAA Service Bureau -statistics showed today: Army has rolled up 459.4 yards . a game, an average ex ceeded only four times in past years and one high enough to practically clinch the 1954 championship. Navy is second with 401.3 Texas Tech Third with 400.7 and Mississippi fourth with 399. : Army is also first in ground attack with 329.1 yards a game rushing, to 316 for Colorado, 298.7 for ' defending champion Oklahoma and 292.2 for Texas Tech. Navy is ninth in the de partment with 268.3.. Both Army and Navy are the only teams in-the country rank ing among the leaders in pass ing as well as m rushing. Navy is 10th, averaging 133 yards a game, Army 12th with 130.3. Balance Shown Furthermore, 'Army is at record levels in two pass depart ments, yards-per-try and yards-per-completion, a - tremendous proof of balance for the No. 1 rushing team. And the Cadets are also on the verge of the second best yards-per-play rec ord for total offense ever com piled. And to top it off, both natural ly rank high in scoring. Army's 33.9 points-a-game mark is the fourth best in - the country, Navy's 32 is seventh best, - The passing leader, however, is Purdue, and it seems likely to hold on to its honors. It finished with 177.3 yards a game to California s 172. I UCLAj which finished its nine- game season unbeaten and un tied, is the undisputed scoring leader of 1954 at the moment and extremely unlikely to be caught. With 367 points, the Uclans averaged 40.8 a game.
