IRISH-TROJAN GAME FEATURE FOR SATURDAY Odds Favor Irish to Win 25th Game; Big Crowd ' Is Predicted Chicago. Nov. 20.— (U.R) — Notre Dame, supreme on the nation's football fields for the past three years, will face Southern Califom-j ia. Pacific coast conference champions and the last team to beat the Irish, in one of the biggest games of the season before 55,000 persons at South Bend tomorrow. With 25 consecutive victories beb*nd them since the Trojans won . 27-14 in 1925, the Fighting Irish | hope to emerge victorious tomor-1 row and then go on to down the Army at New York next week for' their third national championship. I Notre Dame, which has won six I games and played a scoreless tie ' with Northwestern—only rift in an I otherwise perfect 3-year record — i was quoted a 2% to 1 favorite by : loop betting commissioners today, ' Oddly enough, those are the same odds that prevailed in Los Angeles I in favor of Southern Califi ’ala on , the eve of last year’s game which Notre Dame won, 27-0. After losing to St. Mary's, 13-7, in the first game of the season. Southern California has won six consecutive games, all by big scores except the 6-0 victory over California. The records of the two teams are ; similar in many respects. Each! has had two real tests —Notre Dame ! against Northwestern and Pittsburgh. and Southern California! against St. Mary's and California. ' Notre Dame's goal line has been | crossed twice, both times in the 25-15 triumph over Pittsburgh. One touchdown was made on the reg-. ulars and the other on the second I team late in the game. Southern 1 California has yielded three touch-' downs, two to St. Mary's and one I to Washington State, the latter' when reserves were in the game. ; Southern California has scored ' 222 points, or an average of more ' than 31 points per game. Notre! Dame has scored 202 points, or an ' average of almost 29 points per, game. Despite its defeat by St. Mary's, Southern California might be able! to present the strongest claim ofi any team to national honors if the Trojans should upset Notre Dame. I and then wind up the season by beating Washington, Georgia, and| an outstanding foe in the tournament of Roses game. There is a tendency all along the j line to throw out that St. Mary's defeat. Coach Heartly Anderson' forgot it long ago in making his' estimate of the Trojan's strength. 1 Each team has one cripple in its first ranks. Notre Dame’s casualty is George Melinkovich, full- > back, who has an injured shoulder, but will play if needed. Steve Banas will start at fullback. Gus Shaver, Southern California’s hard running back, has an infected toe. He is likely to start. Notre Dame, as always, carries more guns than its opponent. Marchy Schwartz, Notre Dame’s left halfback, is expected to be the greatest ball-carrier on the field, but he is by no means the only Notre Dame threat. For instance there’s Duke Millbeam, the speedy little Beliot, Wis.. boy. whom Southern California never has heard of. He’s been sitting around on the bench all season, waiting for Notre Dame to need him. He can gallop fast and far, and can do things with a football, and may be turned loose on the Trojans. Southern California looks to Mohler, an elusive but fragible runner, and Shaver to lead the spearhead of its attack. Whether they get going or not depends on just how much blocking Erny Pinckert, Johnny Baker and a couple of others are able to do. Last year they didn't do any . . . especially Pinckert who was one of tho biggest disappointments of the game. Eagles Play Saturday Monmouth high school first and second basketball teams will meet Willshire, Ohio teams at Monmouth gymnasium Saturday night. ——— -o — Co-eds Rule on Stockings Baton Rouge, La.—(U.R) —The call of sectional patriotism to the cotton cause found women students at Louisiana State prepared. The second-year class issued a ukase that the frosh lassies, to help cotton prices, must wear cotton stockings. Warnings were posted against failure to observe the rule.

Tonight's game will be a big sac- , tor in ascertaining the strength of the Curtismen. The New Haven Bull Dogs, al- | i ways strong—are coming to town. ; New Haven hasn’t beaten Decatur ' I for several years, but the game al- : 1 ways in interesting. ; The Jackets will go to Auburn 1 next Wednesday night to meet the strong quintet of that city. It's been a pre Thanksgiving game for years. The Decatur-Huntington game in I the Wabash Valley loop was caneell ; ed yesterday and as a result the | Cloverleafs held only practice sesI sion last night.

Tomorrow's the last big football day —-Sport writers are giving ; Southern California an outside 1 chance against Notre Dame, but it's i likely to be so far outside that the I Trojans won't even enjoy the trip I home. , Minnesota has a fair chance of I upsetting .Michigan tomorrow. The ; big Gopher line and heavy backfield | might do business. Charley Knapp has his Sunday suit pressed today, instead of waiting until Christmas—which indicates he might be going to the Pur-due-Indiana football game tomor- ' row. Paul Briede is organizing a vol- | ley ball league for this winter. If you've never played the game, drop down to the Commodore gym some night and watch the fun. Basketbawls still believes Paul Strickler lias everything his brother used to have on the hardwood— He may get his big chance tonight. Marion Feasel looked good all week in practice and we're banking on him to break up a lot of Bull Dog offensive work. •Hill and Butfenbarger look like a couple of veterans—Gay is improving every day—Ogg has a mean way of finding the basket—in Fact the whole Yellow Jacket squad has improved a lot this week. Sonny Ehinger who went through the football season without a scratch and who injured a knee In the first night of basketball drilling is back in school. He's still walking on crutches but his physician says he'll be O. K. before long. Sonny is only a Sophomore and has lots of time yet—if the old knee g ts well. BEAT NEW HAVEN.

CERMAK DENIES HE IS AGAINST GOV. ROOSEVELT I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Press. "1 have been no party to the stop Roosevelt movement if such' exists. I wouldn't want to say now who 1 would support if our own Illinois candidate should not be nominated. 1 am neither for nor against Roosevelt or Ritchie." Which shows why Cermak, born in Bohemia, thrown on his own as a boy in the Illinois coal mines, now fills the Camera-sized shoes of that mighty line of Illinois Democratic dictators, the late Roger Sullivan and George Brennan, and has pushed William Hale! Thompson and his Republican troupe out of the mayor’s office. It is generally said by politicians that Cermak is hiding behind the favorite son candidacy of Senator! James Hamilton, Ix>wis until he knows where he wants to take the ■ Illinois delegation at the DemoI cratic national convention. Os course nobody would expect a fnan like Tony Cermak to admit that. For the present Cermak is for l Lewis for president and you can j draw your own conclusions "There's one thing I am very , much interested in!” he said, j “That is that the party in Its ! platform oppose prohilption. The Democratic party cannot afford to pussyfoot. I'm for letting states ’ which want to be dry go on being' ' dry and for letting states which 1 want a change to have it. I don't I care how they work it out but; ! that is what we ought to stand ■ for. The party shouldn’t overthrow the many followers of Governor Smith who feels as he does: ! about prohibition. Ritchie is wet enough. Smith asked Roosevelt ■ to run on his own ticket and that I ought to convince anybody that Roosevelt is wet enough to satisfy Smith. I don't Iviow what Smijh intends to do but I believe he will be found supporting Roosevelt in' the end.” Whereupon Cermak lifted half a glass of milk and drained it down. "I drink it for my stomach.” he; J explained. Cermak is a new figure in the I national political gallqfy. Everybody in Illinois knows him and knows his power. He has been running for publie office since 1902 and in those 30 years he was beaten just once—for senator in I 1928 though he ran ahead of Smith and the rest of the ticket. j Cerpiak’s Chicago seems shorn of its glamor.
