The Army squad was coached by Lou Bush, a former star for UMass in football and basketball who had also played baseball in the St. Louis Cardinals' farm system.[3][4] The 12th Air Force was skippered by George "Sparky" Miller, a former lineman and assistant coach with Indiana University.[4] The Spaghetti Bowl served as the de facto championship game between the service teams of the European military theater. Players for the Army included Philadelphia Eagles tackle Cecil Sturgeon, Georgetown wide receiver Arthur Remke, and former Negro All-American fullback John "Big Six" Moody.[4] Moody rushed for the first two touchdowns of the game, while Lemke caught the third and final touchdown.[1] The location of the game was kept secret, at least in the United States, for fear of a German air raid, but was likely played at the Stadio Giovanni Berta. There may have been other contests following the 1945 game: An Associated Press wire report notes a contest between American soldiers from Salzburg and airmen from Wiesbaden Army Airfield, played in Leghorn, Italy in 1953.[5] [6]References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.spaghettibowl.americanfootballitalia.com/game.html |title=Spaghetti Bowl|publisher=Americanfootballitalia.com |accessdate=2014-01-02}} 2. ^Life Magazine - 29th January 1945 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=bush--002lou |title=Louis Bush |publisher=Baseball-reference.com|accessdate=2014-01-02}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite news |last= |first= |date=1944-12-23 |title=Big 9 Stars in Spaghetti Bowl Game |url= |newspaper= |location= |publisher=Associated Press |accessdate=}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Soldiers Whip Airmen, 12-7, in Spaghetti Bowl|newspaper=Chicago Tribune |date=1953-01-02}} 6. ^family scrapbook by Ruth Resnick, used by Jay Resnick 6 : Defunct American football competitions|American football competitions in Europe|American football in Italy|Military competitions in American football|1945 in Italian sport|1945 in American football |
