To be sure, the work wasn't perfect, but then continual shifting about of the players left every one in doubt about the line-up until Eddie Morris turned on his vocal chords. The rapid-fire changes during the week preceding the game were necessary but they didn't make for a coordinated club. The department that felt the effects of this was the running attack...

Few hours later the Press, already excited by the naval mobilization in Cuban waters headlined: SIX NAVY PLANES ON MYSTERY HOP. Into the Naval Bureau...
...against the pale blue sky made him look like a comet's ghost as he plummeted down a full two miles. Not until he was within 1,000 ft. of the ground did he jerk his rip cord, break his 147-111.p.h. fall, soar down to a perfect two-leg landing in midfield...
