Besides, I see no point in cultiit's smart to chase a fox. vating people who think But a little down the road from us live a couple I cultivate as often as they'll have me. Their names are Fred and Jane Newell. I met them through Eleanor two years ago, and I'll never forget the first night we had dinner at their house. Jane answered the doorbell. She was pretty all over, and I liked her right away. "Excuse the peasant skirt.'" she said. "I have a baby penciled in for the fall." Fred was In the living room listening to the radio. He had the tweedy look of the a?5l women's magazine stories. We talked of for a couple minutes before I realized he was blind.

In the matter of backfield strength Notre Dame has the call with more good backs Williams, Sitko, Zalejski, Coutre, Swisto-wicetc., vs. Stephenson, Galiffa, Cain and Martin, also Bob Blaik. The top Army four can match the top Notre Dame four, but Notre Dame can reach in the fat for more runners. There isn't much difference in the play of the two lines. The main difference is that Army uses two sets of lines, Notre Dame only one. I doubt that Army has a group to match Hart, Martin all Tonneff and can handle the better part of 60 minutes whenever needed. Both teams are brilliantly coached. Both have the ability to strike with such speed and devastation they can wreck s. good teams in less than 10 Army's defensive line is about as strong as Notre Dame's. I'm not sore her offensive play Is quite as good, although it Is deeper. Notre Dame proved against Michigan State that Frank Leahy needs his first team strength against strong opposition. Michigan State grabbed 14 points before Leahy could blink twice, as he rushed his first team back into action after a 34 to 7 lead. Army vs. Notre Dame would be a terrific game. Those who have seen Oklahoma in action tell me that Bud Wilkenson's outfit is an even match for either with just as much power and just as much speed. The three don't happen to meet. z, 245-pou- d Jl IMIIIIMMIi Vl in itit Mil HEDY LAMARR color effects.

"These boys are up at 5:30 a. m., well before daylight. They face 16 hours of hard physical and mental work. It would be cruel to ask them to play a schedule of nine major games. Each year I see the Army team fading out, but its last two games, or losing its earlier edge. "This year we had Penn State, rated before as one of the stronger teams in the East. We had Michigan at Michigan. We had Harvard they almost beat us last year and locked to be a much improved team this fall, until the trip to Stanford practically wrecked the Crimson. We had an up and coming Fordham team. We had or still have Pennsylvania and Navy, two old traditional rivals who always giva us a battle to the finish. I claim that schedule is all Army can handle In 1950 we have Michigan again We meet a powerful Stanford team at Stanford. We have Har vard and Pennsylvania who mus1 be better than they were this fall. We have Pennsylvania and Navy. All told we have at leasi seven major games." Captain Tom Hamilton, whih head of Navy athletics, had this belief "We'd rather be beaten bj class than run over mediocrity Our system is to meet the best." Navy was not equipped at tha time or now to have any chanc in its schedule. It had the sort 0 schedule Army should and coulf have played. Hamilton would plaj anybody as long as they wen good.

None of these meet. Every team in the Big Ten, the Southwestern, and the Southern conferences has been beaten, most of them several times. Fordham is among those beaten only once and it should be stated here that Ed Danowski's Rams put up as gallant a fight superior numbers, against experience, and competitive class as anyone would care to see. Outside of some three or four teams, Fordham is a match for anyone today. 40 T SAW Notre to 0, and Fordham, 35 two years away from 30. In 10 years, I'll bt two away from 40.
