It was the almost complete futility of the Army ground attack that pinned it to the rough wall of defeat. Its rushing game against a big, fast Navy line yielded only 19 yards for a net gain.

Against this, Navy's faster backs, featured by Busik and Clark, "aided by Malcolm and Werner, rolled up over 200 yards with fake and double reverses that kept the Army reeling back.

Last Minute Thrilli-rs All of the electrifying plays in this game were packed into the I last 10 minutes and the spectators didn't have a chance to relax from the moment the last period started. The excitement began with a St. Theresa's fumble when most of i the spectators thought they would shiver through a scoreless tie. Early in the fourth period St Theresa's, getting nowhere, slipped. Cutting, who later scored the tying touchdown, fumbled on his own 29-yard line and Allen Griffith, All-City guard, dug into the icy turf to recover for Cooley.

Later on, Army again swung in motion with Hatch and Mazur busy leading the attack, but again the Navy defense was impregnable. Army Begins to Wilt In the third period Navy supremacy again took charge of the field as Army's defense began to sag against so many fast-moving, hard-driving Navy backs. Taking an Army kick on its own 47-yard line, Clark promptly broke away for 28 yards. Two more drives carried the ball to Army's 9-yard line and from this spot Clark whipped a pass to Malcolm across the Army goal line for the second score.

For in the presence of 102.000 spectators, packed to the last square foot of the immense Municipal Stadium, Navy Blue whipped Army Gray, 14 to 0, on the fiftieth anniversary of their first meeting on the gridiron. In this forty-first duel of the two great service schools, the speed and drive of fast Navy backs and the harder charging Navy line was more than Army could hold at bay, with all the fight that Army showed to the final play. It was Navy who got the jump in the first few minutes of play, and It was Navy who neid the lump and put on the major pressure of a game fought oiueriy irom start to finish. In the midst of this vast noisy hive of humanity were Frank Knox, Secretary of the Navy, and Henry Stimson, Secretary of War. Great Service Display ine almost endless panorama also included over 4,000 midshipmen and cadets marching on the new in tne greatest service play the two academies have ever known.

Busik's plunge for a touchdown In the first period, and Malcolm's score on a pass from Clark in the third canto closed out all Army hopes. In the second period against Navy's second team. Army twice was within scoring distance, but was driven back by Navy resistance that refused to bend or orcak in time of storm. The game ended with Army en- nvicu iu una piay aner a llnal-penalty, but before the Armv hurt. uie coma De iormed there were over 30,000 fans on the field and all action had to be called off ravy wgntnlng Strikes The game had barely started when Navy struck with lightning force.

Starting from its 42-yard uiie, wtui rsusiK leauing a blister ing assault, Navy's runnimriand passing offense swept across the line with Busik crossing just out- aiue or lacKie. Shortly after this Navv re covered its own kickoff deen in Army territory. Once again Navy was underway along the field with tsusiK and others driving th. Cadets back yard by yard. But this time a desperate and valiant i Army defense held on the one-' foot line.

Early in the second period, a Navy fumble with the second team ai worn pave Army its first 1 chance to move. With Mazur and other barks on the job. Army drove to Navy's 10-yard line. But down field to tally six points, with Fullback Jack McQuary going 10 yards off guard for the score and converting the extra point by placement. One play later, just as California kicked off, the game ended.

Stanford got all its points in the second period in the same surprising manner the Red Shirts had used previously in lifting themselves from the bottom of the conference in 1939 to the championship under Coach Clark Shaughnessy this year. The first Stanford drive started late in the first quarter. A quick lateral from Frankie Albert to Pete Kmetovic, good for 19 yards to California's one, set up the score. The period ended on that play, and on the first scrimmage of the second quarter Kmetovic went over. Albert converted from placement.

Late in the period a bad pass from the California center gave Stanford the ball on California's 35. California fought desperately but Albert pushed the Bears back steadily. Short of a first down by three feet on California's 15, Albert crossed the Golden Bears by faking a reverse and running himself. He made 12 yards on the play and took the ball to Cali fornia's 3. Gallarneau went over from there on the second try.

Rose Bowl Bid May Go Begging Stanford clinched half the Rose Bowl assignment Saturday, but the matter of an opponent was bothering the Pacific Coast champions for the first time in the history of the game. It seems that most of the nation's good teams have something else to do New Year's Day. Tennessee and Boston College accepted bids to the Sugar Bowl after Saturday's games and Fordham agreed to play in the Cotton Bowl. Right now- it looks as though Texas A. M.

will be offered the other Cotton Bowl spot, and Minnesota is not likely to be given post-season freedom by the Western Conference when it votes on the matter this week. That still leaves Stanford in the Rose Bowl. STATISTICS STANFORD CAI.1F. First downs I'!

Br the United Pre BERKELEY, Nov. 30 Stanford's unbeaten, untied eleven squeezed out a 13-7 victory over a scrappy University of California football team today to win the Pacific Coast Conference championship which carries with it the Western Rose Bowl bid. Stanford, which had mowed down eight straight opponents before today's finale, lost its stuff at the half way point and it was California which was dominating the play at the end as 78,000 fans watched. California missed scoring a touchdown twice by a matter of three feet. The first time in the third period Halfback Carl Hoberg's knee hit the ground on the Stanford one-yard line as he raced back 54 yards with an intercepted pass.

With four downs to make four yards, California tried the old Yale system of smashing the middle and ended right where it had started, on Stanford's one-yard line. That touchdown might have changed the whole picture.
