...Cannon set out for glory. He shrugged off one red-jerseyed tackier, ran right over a second. At midfield, Cannon surprised Mississippi's Fullback Charlie Flowers by cutting back instead of trying to go to the outside. (Admitted Flowers, an all-America candidate himself: "It was like a high school player trying to tackle an All-America. He went through my hands like nothing.")

Earlier, Quarterback Mayo had been knocked limp by Army linemen, as he desperately retrieved a high center pass and tried to kick on the run. But Mayo got up off the ground, and in the second half, he pulled up the Air Force with him. A daring fourth-down pass put the Air Force on the Army 15. Two plays later, he so artfully faked a hand-off up the middle that the converging Army defense never...
