Page Four CLOUDBUSTER Saturday, November 11, 1944 Bainbridge Navy Scores Easy 49-20 Victory The Cloudbusters, still one of the finest football elevens in the nation, ran into a powerful array of unbeaten gridiron stars from the Bainbridge Navy last week end and emerged loser by 49 to 20 count. The visiting Commodores pack ed every weapon in football war fare and they used them with terrific effect in a wild second period that saw two Bainbridge teams roll for four touchdowns and the Cloudbusters tally twice. For 20 minutes of^play it was a real ball game from the Cloud- buster point of view. After the visitors had grabbed a 13 to 0 lead, the Pre-Flighters, with Otto Graham, J. T. Levay and Bill Wilson setting the pace, scored two quick touchdowns. Buell St. John’s true toe contributed both extra points. That combination gave the locals a 14 to 13 lead that was short lived as the visitors ac counted for 21 points in the next five minutes of play. The first time Bainbridge snapped into their “T” formation it was clear to read that on the turf of Kenan Stadium was a football team that had polish, precision and power. They looked and played like one of the top teams that they are today. The Commodores turned loose two sets of backs that were noth ing short of spectacular as they clicked like national champions. Charlie Justice, the Asheville high school sensation; Don Durdan, the Oregon State back who led his mates to victory over Duke' in the Rose Bowl contest played at Durham in 1942; Harvey John son, the warhorse of William and Mary; Jim Gatewood, the Georg ian; Dewey Proctor, the ex-Fur- man star; Jackie Fields, ex-Tex as All-American; Joe Michaels, from Pennsylvania; Harry Hopp, the driving fullback from Neb raska, and Hilliard Cheatham, the old Auburn star, showed just too much power for the fighting but outclassed Cloudbcsters. Added to those backs was a towering, charging line that was superb, sparking such stars as Vandeweghe and Davis, ends; Gerber and Rymkus, the ex-Notre Dame giant tackles; Ramsey and Akin, and Sossoman, the South Carolina All-Southern, as start ers, and Bernie Kuczynski, Me- helich, Petro, Tomasello, Les Gatewood, Garvin Mugg and a half-dozen other second4iners who were beautiful to watch once they went into action. Bainbridge first scored mid way the first period. Launching an attack from their own 39-yard line, the foursome of Hopp, John son, Durdan and Proctor march ed straight down the field to the Pre-Flight 14. Johnson added a yard and then two pass plays failed. But on fourth down, Cheatham, taking the ball from center, stood straight up and looped a pass into Vandeweghe’s arms on the goal line for the first score. Johnson place-kicked the extra point. That was the beginning. Mo ments later a pass from Michaels to Mehelich over the goal climax ed a 79-yard drive and provided another Commodore touchdown. The Cloudbusters exploded right back, much to the satisfac tion of the 15,000 fans on hand. Putting the ball in play on the 20-yard line after the kickoff. COMDR.

Graff came to Chapel Hill as Executive Officer in March, 1942, and became Com manding Officer on November 27, 1942. Graham faded back, dropped a towering pass into Levay’s arms on the Bainbridge 47. The little back scooted the rest of the way for an easy touchdown. A moment later Michaels mis fired on a lateral and Wilson scooped up the ball and ran 21 yards to score. Then Bainbridge went to work, scoring three touch downs before the half ended. The first score came when John son plowed over from the four yard line after the Commodores had started the drive deep in their own territory. Seconds later Johnson’s 26 yard gallop placed the ball on the Cloudbuster 25. On the next play Cheatham passed to Vandeweghe on the 10 and the latter carried over. A fumble gave the Commodores the ball a minute later on the Pre-Flight 14. Again, after one pass play failed, Gheatham pass ed to Vandeweghe for the touch down. That the Commodores added a touchdown and safety in the third in the fourth was incidential. The game was won in the second quar ter. Coach Killinger substituted freely during the last half, taking no chances on his key men being hurt for the all-important game this Saturday at Athens with the Georgia Pre-Flight.
