On Saturday 14th-ranked Army played No. 6 Notre Dame to a 0-0 tie at a mud-soaked Yankee Stadium. West Point’s triple-threat halfback Henry J. “Hank” Mazur, mentioned in today’s newspaper on pages 40 and 41 as the Cadets play Notre Dame to a 0-0 tie at Yankee Stadium, will be elected captain of the 1942 squad before becoming a fighter pilot. Mazur joins the 395th “Panzer Dusters” Squadron, flying P-47 Thunderbolts over Europe. He shoots down three enemy fighters and damages three more by war’s end and retires in 1969 as an Air Force colonel.

Two undefeated squads — No. 11 Navy and No. 8 Penn — squared off in Philadelphia. The Midshipmen upset the Quakers thanks to a pass from Barnacle Bill Busik to Sammy P. Boothe. Boothe had been spending gamedays in the stands spotting players for sportscasters and served on Navy’s practice squad before coaching staff discovered how talented he was. He also played basketball and wrestled for the Naval Academy. After graduation Boothe becomes a flight instructor and is killed when his plane crashes off the Florida coast on April 10, 1945. His body is not recovered.

The Associated Press ranks Navy at 6th in the nation this week and Army moves up to 11. Army, now 4-0-1, will travel to unranked Harvard and Navy (5-0-1) faces off against rival Notre Dame (who dropped to No. 7) in Baltimore’s Memorial Stadium. Going into Nov. 8, 1941’s game the Fighting Irish leads Navy 11 games to 3 in what has become one of college football’s oldest rivalries.
