Navy Confident of Six Straight
Wins Over Favored Army Eleven
By FRITZ HOWELL
BALTIMORE, Dec. 1 An
This Maryland metropolis' hotels
and restaurants bulged at the
icams today as the vanguard ot
an expected crowd of 70,000
rolled in for football's most color
ful clash Saturday's Army
Navy game at Municipal sta
dium. ,
West Point's r a m p a g I ng
Cadets, winners of eight m a
row and rolling along at a point--a-minutc
clip toward the na
tional championship and their
first unbeaten season, were fav
ored two to one, or by a 14-point
margin.
But Navv, triumphant the last
five ycars-and with Halfback
Bob Jenkins set to go ahead after
a foot infection was cool, calm
and confident it could make it
six straight over the Cadets.
Tested talent will bedeck each
roster as the 2 p. m. kickoff
comes up. Of the players par
ticipating in last year's contest,
48 arc still on hand. Each team
has 24 veterans. Navy won a
year ago, 130, after being on
the short end of the odds.
Just how many war bonds
have been sold to ticket-seekers
since the game was shifted from
Annapolis to Baltimore is un
known. Although the game was
announced as a sellout a few
hours after the site shift, ducats
appeared fairly plentiful from
scalpers at from $20 to S80 each.
Clear and near-freezing weath
er was forecast.
Hotels have reservations for
at least 15 high-ranking generals
and naval officers, including
Gen. George Marshall, chief of
staff, and Gen. H. H. Arnold,
head of the army air forces.
Army's squad of 38 players
was scheduled for a workout at
the newly-sodden stadium this
afternoon, but Navy's group of
52 is not scheduled to arrive
until iust before came time.
Last-minute quotations from
the coaches:
Col. Earl (Red) Blaik, Army:
"Navy has beaten Army the past
five years in a row. Last year
and the year before that the
Navy line turned the trick, but
that won't bo the margin Satur
day. They will need more than
a line, to beat us.
Comdr. Oscar E. Hagberg,
Navy: "The Navy team is set
for its best game of the year.
If the boys don't make too many
mistakes. I think we have a good
chance of winning. No doubt
Army is potent, and they have
enough to really pour it on us
if tney get going.

Coach Al Simpson carried
22 boys, or two complete
teams, to Portland and this
should provide the Pearpick
ers with sufficient reserve

down in their starting grid

As his opening lineup Simpson
announced Cave would be at

guard slots. Sheldon and Porter
at the tackle positions and Plas-
kctt and Riggs will handle the
end assignments. Watson will
direct the Medford "T" attack

Clark and Bostwick will occupy
the halfback berths and hard
driving Doty will be at fullback.

Here is a song for pigskin

The mule is in animal with
long funny ears.
He's the mascot that draws

The mule he gallops from the

downs very easily.
So the Army will have to get

Or would you rather pick
the goat?
The goat is an anirnal with a
head like a rock.
Which shows how the Navy

He scores lots of points from

And when he hits they hear

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1 m
More than 150 professional and
amateur golfers tee off under
threatening skies today in the
72-hole San Francisco open for
S14.500 in war bonds.
Siammin' Sam Sncad, Hot
Springs, Va., long hitter, is the
sentimental favorite to win the
1944 event but many golf ex
perts string along with the de
fending champion, Byron Nel
son. Bracketed with these two
Ix Harold McSrjadcn. Philadel
phia, runner-up in this meet last j
year.
The Harding public course is
fairly flat, long and tree-bordered
and made to measure for
Nelson and McSpaden, who have
the further advantage of being
familiar with the layout.
Snead, who hit the comeback
trail by winning the Portland,
Ore., open last weekend after
more than two years in th navy,
has turned in low-score practice
rounds. In one tune-up round he
whacked out a 66, six undcrpar,
over the Harding course. This,
coupled with his one-over-par
289 for 72 holes at Portland,
has made him the popular choice.
Also rated high among the
possible winners are U. S. open
champion, Craig Wood, who is
shooting better than he did at
Portland; PGA Champion Bob
Hamilton of Evansville, Ind., and
Denny Shutc, Akron, Ohio
Mike Turnesa, veteran from
New York who was runner-up
to Sncad in the Portland open,
Willie Goggins, White Plains,
N. Y., Lcs Kennedy, Pawtuckett,
R. I.; Fred Wood, Vancouver,
B. C, and Sgt. Jim Fcrricr,
former Australian champion who
received army induction notice
while a pro at Elmhurst, 111., can
