Freshmen Succumb, 21-o, to Dartmouth; Army Jayvees Trample Crimson, 41-0

For the 200 who observed the Army jayvees' 41 to 0 win over Harvard Saturday morning on the freshman field, it was obvious from the first play what Army varsity coach Earl Blaik has been pointing for this season.

The West Point jayvees, the squad that tunes up the varsity in practice sessions, lined up for that first play and shifted into a Michigan single-wing, which they used for the remainder of the game. And the combination of the Wolverine formation and the Army power and depth jolted the previously unbeaten Crimson to make the game a runaway.

It didn't look too different from the game that started in the Radium three hours later.

Cadet Captain Irv Rood not up the first touchdown with two long runs into Harvard territory, and the Cadets scored on a quarterback snack by Jerry Travis. Reed added the second touchdown on an end run to the right.

The third came when tackle Frank Wilkerson intercepted a pass by Bill Kierstead in the second quarter. The other three scores came on straight power plays with the Harvard secondary bowled over by precision downfield blocking. Bill Payberka kicked five out of six conversions.

Harvard showed little ability to defend against occasional Army screen passes, which spread the defense to prepare for the Cadet line onslaught. Bill Kierstead's attempted aerial attack was smothered by a lack of backfield protection. The Crimson, behind the speed of halfback Lon Tsavaris, drove deep into time gun stopped the bid inside of the Cadet ten.
