THE BATTALION
Page 3
Army Trounces Air Force 27-0
Line, Sanders
Lead the Way
A big, sharp blocking line opened up holes for fullback
Bob Sanders and stifled the air force offense as the army
ground out a 27-0 win on Kyle field yesterday in the third
annual 12th Man Bowl football game.
The victory before about 4,000 was the second for the
army, following a 0-0 tie last year and their 6-0 win in 1952.
Sanders scored the ’52 touchdown.
Sanders, a 185 pounder from A field artillery, was the
big offensive gun, scoring twice, on 5 and 21 yard runs, and
gaining 81 yards on 14 carries.
Quarterback Jimmy Morrison displayed some sharp
ballhandling and running for the ground force, but in the
final analysis, it was the ex-

For the air force,, which never
got past its own 28 yard line in
the second half, halfback Adrian
Helms, squadron 16, was the only
back who could gain consistently.
He picked up 25 yards on four
tries.
Quarterback Charlie Ritchey was
rushed off his feet by the army
line throughout most of the game
and failed to complete a pass in six
tries.
The air force tried 10 passes,
completed one for a yard. Anoth
er 10 yard completion by Ritchey
was nullified by a penalty.
Morrison, Glen Rand and Alvin
Grantham passed sparingly, but
one from Morrison to Briggs cov
ered 37 yards late in the second
quarter for the third army score
and a 20-0 halftime lead.
The game then was scoreless
until the last play, when Grant
ham sneaked over from the 1. The
army had taken over on the air
force 8 when Ritchey was tackled
on a desperation fourth down pass
try.
A bad snap back on a fourth
down punt attempt late in the
first quarter set up the first
touchdown and on the last play of
the period, Sanders smashed over*.
Morrison’s kick was wide.
In the second quarter, Ted Muen-
ter fell on airman J. M. Denard’s
fumble on the air force 29, and
the army scored two plays later.
Morrison, back to pass on first
down, raced up the middle to the
21. On the next play, Sanders
blasted at center, shook off two
tacklers at about the 15 and rum
bled into the end zone.
Halfback Jimmy Richardson
converted.
The air force couldn’t move the
ball, and Houston returned the
kick nine yards to the air force
37.
McCarn was stopped for no gain,
then Morrison fired a jump pass to
Briggs, who stayed on his feet af
ter several tacklers took shots at
him and ran for the touchdown.
Richardson converted again.
The air force got its biggest
break shortly afterward, when
tackle Bill Garrett recovered a
fumbled punt on the army 39. Two
passes by Ritchey were incomplete,
and the half ended.
Army took the second half kick
off on its 2l and marched to the
air force 5, but a clipping penalty
set them back to the 20 and the air
force finally took over on the 6.
Line blasts by Sanders paced
the drive to the 20. Thei'e Mor-
rison hit Durham with a pass on
the left sideline good for 14 yards.
Sanders got to the 5, but the army
was clipping.
On fourth down from the 20,
Rand jump passed to Abraham to
the six, where the air force took
over.
Willie Mays Wins
NL ‘Most Valuable’
NEW YORK, Dec. 1G —</P>—
Willie Mays, the acrobatic center

Down in San Juan, where Mays

ment was a characteristic, “that’s
good.”
Mays took the award in stride,
commenting that he though John
ny Antonelli, his Giants’ team
mate, had a good chance of win
ning it. “Antonelli, he could have
got it,” said Mays. “He won 20
games.”
Support Faded
Antonelli, however, didn’t re
ceive as much support as some
