Blaik has had to do nothing to bolster his offensive team. It has a great first unit and excellent reserves, so excellent that though fullback Gil Stephenson indulged in but two plays against Michigan, his presence was not particularly missed. We can compare this with a Harvard team without Howie Houston--as was the case at Columbia--and come to a horrifying conclusion...

...nations of the world (in his famed Point Four), the same idea had occurred to a small, forward-looking group of U.S., British and Canadian capitalists. The group included ex-Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius, onetime OSS Boss William J. Donovan and Britain's Sir William Samuel Stephenson, World War II boss of all British secret operations in the Western Hemisphere. At war's end, they and associates* formed the World Commerce Corp. and raised an initial $1.000.000 to help "bridge over the breakdown in foreign exchange."

Selectors gave special consideration to men who played both offense and defense (an increasing rarity under the two-platoon system).

...highly rated line was outcharged by underdog Navy (apparently nobody had given Navy sufficient credit for the hardening quality of its tough schedule, including such top opponents as Michigan, Notre Dame and California, which Army did not have to face). The Cadets' two prize running backs-Gil Stephenson and Bobby Stuart-earned no new medals; both were below par due to injuries. It took the wonderfully accurate passing arm of Quarterback Arnold Galiffa to keep the Cadets in the game. Two Galiffa passes set up two touchdowns, and Army went ahead at half time...
