Scoreboard

P: Army's injury-ridden backs were finally hale and hearty and the bettors made Navy's outweighed midshipmen 7-point underdogs before the kickoff in Philadelphia's Municipal Stadium. But right from the start, Navy drove home its blocks with clean precision, turned loose darting, stubby (5 ft. 8 in., 185 lbs.') Halfback Joe Bellino for three touchdowns. On defense, Navy used four halfbacks to throw an umbrella over Lonesome End Bill Carpenter, put such a rush on sharpshooting Quarterback Joe Caldwell that he consistently missed open receivers. When the slaughter was done, Navy had rolled up the biggest score in the 60-game series (30 for Army; 25 for Navy; 5 tied): 43-12.

P: Southern California's big men insulated their feet against the 28DEG temperature of South Bend with layers of sweat socks and cellophane, but nothing helped against a Notre Dame team that has abruptly become a major power since Quarterback George Izo returned to full health. Capping its 20-19 defeat of Iowa the week before, Notre Dame disposed of nationally ranked U.S.C. 16-6 to end a dismal season (5-5) with a flourish.

P: Headed by a lead-footed woodchopper named Yan Kruminsh, who towers like a sequoia (7 ft. 3 in., 320 lbs.), the first Russian basketball team to visit the U.S. opened a six-game tour in Madison Square Garden, lost to the postgraduate amateurs of the Phillips Oilers, 70-59.

P: He lost the Kentucky Derby by a nose, the Preakness by four lengths, but Sword Dancer, the little chestnut three-year-old owned by Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloane, came surging back to twice beat the five-year-old Round Table, racing's biggest money winner, leads the nation's thoroughbreds in earnings this season with $537,004, last week was named horse of the year by the railbird's Bible, the Morning Telegraph.
