Underdog Cloudbusters Tie Camp Lejeune
The old adage “if you can’t gof
through ’em go over ’em” proved
highly successful for the Cloud
busters last Saturday as they sur
prised everyone, including them-
elves, in holding Camp Lejeune to
14-14 tie.
Prior to the contest the Marines
had w^on five straight football
games, w^hile the Pre-Flighters had
but one victory to their credit, that
23 to 18 vv^in over Camp Davis.
The Navy lads hit pay dirt early
in the first period and led at half-
time, 14 to 0. But the Marines
came back strong to score two
touchdowns in the third quarter,
one on a beautiful 60-yard punt re
turn by Ray Terrell, ex-Missis-
sippi ace, to tie up the game.
Tom Hynes, right guard and
only Pre-FIighter to play the full
60 minutes, set up the first touch-
Play State at Raleigh Thursday
While their supporters are still talking about their fine showing
against Camp Lejeune, the U. S. Navy Pre-Flight Cloudbusters are
working in preparation for their final contest of the season scheduled
for Raleigh on Thanksgiving Day against North Carolina State.
Coach Frank Kimbrough cut the varsity squad down to 36 men
on Monday. Only cadets will participate in the game at Raleigh.
For the first time this season the Cloudbusters will enter the
game as favorites. State has won but two games this year, having
defeated the Greenville Air Base and Davidson College.
Running on the first team for the Pre-Flighters will be W. D.
Kies, 36-1-3, and W. I. Tuttle, 35-J-2, at the ends, W. H. Lowans,
34-H-2, and C. H. Osborne, 37-A-l, at the tackles, T. J. Hynes,
36-K-I, and W. B. Budd, 34-H-I, at the guards, and Piotrowski at
center. The backfield will consist of Nute at quarterback, G. R. Wolfe,
38-C-3, at tailback, L. M. Hecker, 35-1-1, at wingback, and Cecil
Hare, 35-J-2,'at full.
Several of the above men received minor injuries in the Camp
Lejeune game, but all are expected to be in top shape for the
Thanksgiving tussle.

j lightest star, got five. Then with

It Was Kellogg who tossed it in-

iJartmouth, and it was good for
1 yards and a first down on Camp
^jeune’s 25-yard line.
After two line plays and a pass
to gain, Kellogg again com-
P^Gted one to Wolfe, this time over

goal line for a touchdown. The
er made an impossible catch of
ball as four Marines surround-

Kellogg kicked off out of bounds,
and the Marines with Ed Sexton'
and Walter Bergman doing most
of the ball carrying carried to the
Cloudbusters six yard line before
losing the ball on downs.
Only the kicking of Kellogg kept
the Cloudbusters out of danger the
rest of the period. Quick kicking
from his own 20 on one occasion,
Kellogg’s boot was downed on
Camp Lejeune’s two yard marker,
a kick that carried 78 yards.
With the clock running out
Camp Lejeune took to the air, but
the alert Kellogg, who always
seemed to be with the ball, inter
cepted one on the Marine 40 and
ran 15 yards to the 25. After a five
yard penalty for too many time
outs, Kellogg hit the mark again,
this time to Bill Dye who caught
the ball in the end zone. Gale
again converted as 50 seconds re
mained in the first half.
Camp Lejeune was the whole
show during the third quarter.
After a series of penalties had
placed them on their own 13, Don
Fleming broke loose for 67 yards
to the Cloudbuster 20. It was Ray
Wolfe who brought him down, a
beautiful tackle from behind, one
of the finest plays of the contest.
Three line plays picked up nine
yards, but the Navy line, which
played an outstanding game all
afternoon, held on fourth down.
Standing on his own goal Kellogg
kicked on first down, a beautiful
one that carried to the Marine 40.
But the kick was forgotten as Ray
Terrell raced 60 yards on the play
behind beautiful interference to
Coach Kimbrough was perhaps
the happiest man on the field fol
lowing the game. “Every Pre-
Flighter who got in the game did
outstanding work,” he said. “The
Marines have one of the finest
clubs we’ve met all year. We had
to play 4.0 football to tie them.”
Lieut. Kimbrough also men
tioned the fine work of the Cloud
buster forward wall.
First Lieutenant Jack Chevigny,
a former Notre Dame great, who
now is head football coach at
Camp Lejeune, praised the per
formance of the Cloudbusters.
“They were a great ball club out
there today,” he said following the
game, “and I’m confident they
could have held their own against
some of the best teams on the
gridiron.”
