Page 6 College Station, Texas Thursday, December 5, 1963 THE BATTALI^^N Navy Needs Win Over Army To Accept Cotton Bowl Bid BY HERB THOMPSON ANNAPOLIS, Md. ) — Navy Coach Wayne Hardin noted wryly Wednesday that his second-ranked Middies have already been in stalled as a favorite over top- ranked Texas in the Cotton Bowl Jan. 1—even though they haven’t gotten past Army yet. “If they can make us the favor ite in a game that hasn’t even been discussed yet, why don’t more peo ple vote us No. 1?” Hardin asked at a news conference. “WE WOULD welcome No. 1 ranking. We also welcome being the favorite in the Army-Navy game Saturday.” He said that it was the first time since he became head coach five years ago that Navy has been favored. Hardin has won his four previous encounters with Army. THE ODDS Hardin referred to were published this week in a Baltimore newspaper for college and pro football games this week end and post-season bowl games. The listing of Navy as favorite over Texas was predicted on a vic tory over Army and acceptance of a bowl bid. The Middies are fav ored by two touchdowns over Army. You get no quarrel from Naval Academy officials that a bid to the Cotton Bowl against Texas will probably be accepted promptly if the Middies whip Army, although they cannot discuss it publicly. The official 30-day period of mourning for President Kennedy will be over before New Year’s Day. ON ANOTHER aspect of the Army-Navy game, which is upper most this week in the minds of Naval Academy personnel, Hardin said his team is mindful that it lacks only 25 points of winning the national scoring title this year. “But that’s one record we’re really not interested in,” he said. “If we can beat Army, we’ll be satisfied regardless of the score.” THE ONCE-BEATEN Middies, highest scoring team in Annapolis history, have averaged 32.6 points a game for their first nine games. They’ve scored no fewer than 21 in any contest. Utah State, which has already finished its season, has averaged 31.7 for second place. Army is one of the nation’s top defensive teams, and the Navy coaching staff brought a color film to the football press conference to show why. JOHN HOPKINS, Marine cap tain and phyical education instruc tor, who has scouted Army all sea son, narrated the last quarter of the Air Force-Army game which the West Pointers came from be hind to win 14-10 at Chicago. “Look at that pursuit,” said Hopkins, a former Navy tackle who captained its 1955 team. “AH of those players are right where the ball is going. This is a well- drilled team and they hit hard.” HE ALSO SINGLED out and re ran plays in which quarterback Carl Stichweh and fullback Ken Waldrop reeled off good gains. Hardin has tabbed both of these as players Navy must stop to whip the Cadets. He calls Stichweh the best quarterback Navy will have faced this season. Dangerous as a runner as well as passer. j Intramurals | With four activities completed and with 10 champions still to be decided Squadron 10 is in the lead in the race for the Class B Intra mural flag.
