Navy Routs Li0n5,3414;
Welsh Passes for 285
Yards to Snap 2 Marks .
No one expects a quarterback to throw 20 passes -in a
football game—actually/for only three quarters—and hit on
three out of four. No one expects his pass patterns to be so
complete that his men are so well deployed that none of those
20 attempts are intercepted. No one expects the opposition's
defensive net to be so loose that 15 of 20 passes are completed,
but at the same time no one ex
pects the passer to have four eli
gible receivers who each possess
agility, speed, and deceptive abil
ity in getting away from opposi
tion's defense.
This and more —is what
George Welsh and All-Ameri
can end Ronnie Beagle plus
Navy's nine other gridders did
Saturday when they handed
Patin State a decided 44-14
clubbing.
Welsh, hitting halfbacks Chet
Burchett and Ned Oldham plus
ends Beagle,. Earle Smith, and
Pete. Jokanovich, completed 15 of
20. None of 'his aerials were in
tercepted. He totaled a record
breaking 285 yards for Navy in
the air.
Penn State, in the game until
the -latter part of the second
quarter after tallying to knot
the score at 6-6, and making the
extra point to lead, 7-6. saw
Navy pull strategy similar to
what Army attempted by key
ing on halfback Lenny Moore.
While Navy took a 6-0 lead,
and .finally a 20-7 halftime lead,
Penn. State tried desperately to
get its passing slttack launched,
to open Navy's defense. Quarter
back Hobby Hoffman ' flipped
four times, completing three.
In the second half Hoffman
attempted to open his belly ser

AA Guards
Stop 'Some'
On Tickets
Athletic Association guards
caught "some" persons seeking
admittance to Saturday's Penn
State-Navy football game on stu
dent tickets, according to Harold
R. Gilbert, assistant director of
athletics.
Gilbert said he could not give
an estimate of the exact number.
The sell-out crowd for the game
did not present any unusual prob
lems, he said.
He explained that guards at
student sections made spot checks
to see that only students were
admitted to the sections. AA offi
cials had announced that identifi
cation would be asked from stu
dents at the main gates, not the
section entrances.
Students were required to have
on their possession .the special
ticket distributed at registration;
the identification book, and ma
triculation card.
Gilbert said the persons turned
away with student tickets were
followed to make sure they did
not seek entrance at another gate.
The main problem was trying
to keep people from crawling
over the fence of the stadium, he
said. He explained that a good
many persons managed to get in
to the game in this manner since

to stop them completely.
Gilbert complimented the crowd
for being very orderly.
Identification was -.required by
students because of ticket "scalp
ing." Students reportedly ~• sold
their tickets for •as high as $2O.
Sale of tickets is forbidden by
University and Internal Revenue
laws.
