...side. Its ably coached 204-lb. line and 183-lb. backfield know how to throw their weight around legally and still make it hurt plenty. Above all, Army has the two best backs to come down the pike in years. One is a human blockbuster named Felix ("Doc") Blanchard. The other is a jet-propelled gent named Glenn ("Junior") Davis. They make Army's cream-smooth T attack bubble and boil like no other T in the land...
Combined Fire Power. Those who insist on comparisons give 205-lb. Fullback Blanchard a sharp edge over Stanford's great Norman Standlee. Doc explodes with more muzzle velocity, hits the line with more downright destructiveness. With one more year of Army football to play, Blanchard may seriously challenge Minnesota's mighty Bronko Nagurski as the all-time exponent of straight-ahead brute force...
...like one of the two teams voted most likely to succeed in 1945. Army, the experts' other pre-season choice, did. Last week, the Cadets' well-seasoned T attack steamrollered Duke 4840-13 for victory No. 5. It was such easy going that All-America Fullback Felix ("Doc") Blanchard and All-America Halfback Glenn ("Junior") Davis-Mister Inside and Mister Outside -had what amounted to a day off: they scored only three touchdowns, let the second-stringers have a whirl...

After they drove knuckleballer Dutch Leonard (16-7) to cover-Leonard pitched the Tigers out of last year's pennant-40-year-old Doc Cramer broke up the party with a game-winning triple. Score: Detroit 7, Washington 4. In the nightcap, Rudy York shrugged off the menace of high-walled Griffith Stadium (the Senators have hit only one homer there all year) by belting his 18th. That helped Dizzy Trout (18-14) realize an iron-man promise to win five games in two weeks. Score: Detroit 7, Washington...
