Once again the Little Rabble stormed through a perfect season, piling up a 6-0 record to capture its 5th league title in ten years. Under the able leadership of Captain Gary Atkins, three time ALL-EAST linebacker, Army outscored the op- position 167-22, with three shutouts. The toughest and most exciting game, and the most rewarding in light of last year ' s outcome, was the Navy contest. Rugged defense and Bevis to Dyer offense spelled disaster for the Middies early in the game. The 150 pound Black Knights had far and away the most talented team in the league. With two time ALL-EAST choices Larry Izzo and Harry Rothmann on defense, Van Evans, the most explosive runner in 150 lb. football, and the sure hands of ALL-EAST end Emmett Mahle, made Ken Bevis quarterbacking a little bit easier. Coach Tipton combined a driving offense with a tenacious defense to crush enemy after enemy and bring the 150 lb. football championship back to West Point.
