Army To Exploit Lonesome End More In Future
West Point, N.Y. AP Earl Red Blaik hailed Army football as one of its finest hours after a 22-6 victory over Navy that secured the Cadets first unbeaten season since 1949. Blaik said the lonesome end offense, created last winter in Florida, would be expanded to outpace opponents, with plays from an unbalanced line and wide end splits. Navy rallied early but could not breach Army’s defense after stifling that opening drive, while Bob Anderson starred with 89 rushing yards and two touchdowns as Pete Dawkins saw limited carries.
