The teams battled all over the field showing some Tine running and tackling. Both lines were very aggressive as the Army demon strated on the first play from scrimmage as they jumped the gun to draw the first penalty of the game. The Air Force won the toss and chose to receive. Don Hoffman kicked off for the Army to Scott Brown who fumbled the ball but recovered it for the Air Force. On their fourth play the Airmen fum bled again and big Tom Jones re covered for the Army on the Air Force 15. Army Scores First The Army failed to score and after the Airmen took over in their eight they punted on first down. Taking over in their own end of the field the Army drove all the way for the games only score. SEE < r i' FIRST DC—.kl CzXZlXJJCD Frank Haynes, quarterback for the Army handed off to Hoffman on a delay up the middle and he went in for the touchdown from the nine. Hoffman’s try for extra point was blocked. The first quarter was over af ter the kickoff leaving the Air Force with the ball on their own 30. From here Fred Billings lead his team on their longest drive of the game. With the hard running of Jack Connor, Ronnie Early and Brown the Flyboys drove to the Army six. An offside penalty by the Army put the ball on the 3 but then the Airmen began to lose yards as the Army line set them back three plays in a row.

Once in the fourth quarter Woody Earnst) carried the ball down to the eight yard line of the Air Force but a clipping pen alty put the ball back on the 13. This was the closest either team came to scoring in the second half. The defensive game was the most impressive part of the game because popping of leather could be heard clearly by the spectators in the stands. Leading the defensive line for the Airmen was Wayland Ward, Ralph Burton, Tom White, and Paul Barsotti.
