TWELVE MEDrORD (OREGON) SWDMFS Welsh Paces Middies As Army Licked 27-20 By OSCAR FRALEY Philadelphia U.R). Navy's fighting football forces, sparked by the passing and running of Quarterback George Welsh, flattened favored Army, 27-20, . Saturday in one of the greatest service classics of them all to win their way to the Jan. 1 Sugar Bowl game at New Or leans. - .Welsh flipped for .three touchdowns and scored another before 98,616 thrilled spectators at vast Municipal stadium, and them the Middies were reward ed for their upset performance as Secretary of Navy Charles S. Thomas gave them quickly- ac cepted permission to compete In the Sugar Bowl against Missis sippi. ' Thomas gave them permission to play in "one of several" post season games as they celebrated in the dressing room. And, in a secret ballot, the jubliant Mid dies voted to go to New Orleans on New Year's day. They will play Mississippi. The Middies brought the huge crowd packed in to the concrete horseshoe to its feet with a touchdown after only five min utes and 10 seconds of play kept them there most of the afternoon as they lost the lead only brief ly in the second quarter -and then forged on top for good. Beaten twice this season al though it was the national de fensive leader, Navy was a one touchdown underdog as it went at it in the 55th game of the storied series. But the kids from Crabtown on the Severn ignor ed those odds as they scored their 23rd triumph against 28 Army victories and four ties. Navy. put it squarely up to Welsh and he steered them home. On a keep play, he car ried down to the 12 and then 'after Navy had been pushed to the 16, he faded back and flip ped a screen pass to Bob Craig on the 10 and the halfback from Altadena, Calif., carried it over. Tom Weaver, trying an extra point for the first time this year, booted it through the uprights and Navy had a 7-0 lead. An aroused Armv team took the following kickoff and blast ed 69 yards , in' 16 plays lor a touchdown. Pat Uebel, the block buster from Bellevue, Ky., led a ripping ground attack which carried to the eight and Tom Bell repaid in part for an earlier fumble as he raced around left znd to score-. - : Ralph Chesnauskas failed to Convert. " ' They went into the second when you WANT PKOIECSOM? mtOHSff THE DEALER WHO, PROVIDES MAIL TRIBUNE IBUMS quarter with Navy leading '7-6, and Navy bounced right back with the kickoff to go 59 yards for another score. The Middies got it on their 41 due to an on side kick and Craig and Weaver, who hails from Wausau, Wis., carried . the mail on' sweeps to the seven. Two running plays lost four yards and it . was Welsh again, pitching to Earl Smith of Mo bile, Ala. Again Weaver booted the extra point to make it 14-6 for the Navy. Army, taking the kickoff on its 28, battered all the way to the Navy. 15. But there Navy took over only, to lose the ball on; a fumble, Uebel recovering on the Navy. 12. Two smashes lost two, yards against that charging Navy line and then Army fumbled it away, with Middie Leonard Benzi of Plains- ville, Pa., recovering on the Navy 14. Navy was penalized 15 yards for illegal use of the hands all of the way back to its three but ran it back out to the 17. There Middie Dick Guest fumbled the ball on a fourth-down' kicking attempt and Holleder recovered on the three. Uebel blasted it over as the Army .line put every Navy, lineman on the ground and when Chesnauskas kicked the point Army (trailed by only one point at 14-13. One minute and two seconds later Army scored again to go into the lead. Navy took the kickoff on its 38 but on the first play Uebel intercepted an aerial on the Army 37 and re turned it to the Navy 42. Pete Vann of Hamburg, N.Y., pitch ed a deep pass to Bob Kyasky of AnsoniaV Conn., on the eight and he lugged it over. Chesnau skas added the point and Army led, 20-14. Then for the second time one of those on-side kickoff s put the Cadets in trouble. Navy took it on its 46. and Weaver blasted 26 yards around end to Army's 27. The Middies lanced to the 11, were set back to the 24 by a penalty, and then' it was Welsh's air arm again. He cock ed that arm and flipped a per fect strike to Jim Owen of Pine Bluff, Ark., on the two. Then Welsh took it over himself -on a straight-ahead keep. Weaver's third straight placement gave the lead back to Navy at 21-20. They stowed it away in the third period with the game's fi nal touchdown . although there still were heavy seas ahead as the Army fought desperately to get back for at least a tie.

Morse, who carried 19 times, crashed for 179 yards, while Heap made 110 yards on 17 at tempts and Schaefer 87 in 19 tries. ' ; With this success on the ground,' the Irish rolled up 373 yards rushing. Notre -Dame tried only rune passes and hindered by the sloppy ball and 35-de-gree temperature, completed on ly two for 26 yards. The Irish might have won by a greater margin except for wobbly ball handling. Four times Notre Dame lost , the ball on fumbles and one resulted in the first Southern California touchdown. On three other oc- asions, fumbles by the Irish, on which they retained possession, held their scoring punch. Troy Gets ' Break i . The Trojans - got a break on .Notre uame s tirst scrimmage play when Schaefer Tumbled and Marv Goux recovered off the .Irish 14. From there it took only five plays for Jim Con tratto to plunge over from the one and Sam Tsagalakis convert ed. Notre Dame equalized this with an 80-yard parade which ended on a lateral forward as Tom Carey pitched out to Heap who threw to Morse. for the score. Schaefer's conversion produced the deadlock. ' v Tsagalakis, who missed a field goal attempt from the 25-yard line, succeeded on a third per lod effort from the 24 to put the Trojans in front, but Ralph Guguelmi quarterbacked a 23-- play drive from the Irish 14 which ended when Schaefer plunged two yards for the score. Contratto Tallied the; Trojans then and hit on five straight pas ses for 62 yards with a 21-yard heave to six-foot-six-inch chuck Griffith for a touchdown to re gain an edge. . . : , Notre Dame ran only frfur scrimmage plays before Morse swept inside left end, aided by a solid block from 1 Schaefer, broke . loose for the winning marker.-Two more points came when Frank Clayton missed a bad pass from center and was down in the Trojan end zone.
