IRISH FAVORED ' [ . TO BEAT ARMY Notre Dame 2-1 Betting Favorite To Defeat The Army New York. Nov. 12. <U.R> Jtytre Dame's buttered football forces arI rived today and immediately were made 2-1 favorites to beat Army tomorrow in an annual battle that has blossomed Into u stadia-jam-ming classic since 1913 when the series was inaugurated at West Point. Riddled with injuries front sue-1 eessive weekends of bruising play against Minnesota and Pittsburgh. Elmer Layden's lads followed a long established custom early this morning. They attended mass at the Church of the Ressurreetion i After breakfast they motored to the Westchester-Biltmore club at Rye for a last workout. Coach Gar Davidson brought his confident cadets down to Knollwood country club at White Plains where a sign was posted "no visitors welcome." He abandoned earlier plans for a workout in Rankee stadium. The Irish starting lineup was uncertain. but Layden's reserves were expected to see plenty of action tomorrow. Such stars as McCarty at Center. McCarthy at halfback and others still were recuperating from the 21-6 Pitt beating. Davidson jiggered his varsity lineup yesterday in an effort to get more weight in the forward j wall. Jim Mather. 210-pound tackle i who nursed an injury up until last j week when Army nipped Harvard 7-6. replaced Bill Blanchard at left • tackle. Capt. Jim Isbell was switched from tackle to right , guard and his place will be filled ; by 206-pound Harry Stella. These • changes give Army a line averag-[ ing 196 pounds, its most formid- , able in years. Army will be seeking its sixth 1 victory in this series that began with a 37-13 Notre Dame victory. That day in 1913 an unknown Knute Rockne and an equally unrecognized Gus Dorais startled the eastern football world with an uncanny forward passing attack. With Gus. now coach of Detroit, doing the tossing, and Knute re-1 ceiving. the combination complet-; ed 13 passes in 17 attempts to gain* nearly 250 yards. It was the first of 16 Irish triumphs. Only two of the 23 games ended in ties. This year’s battle threatens to be another aerial duel, but it is I not expected to be nearly so unequal. Army has two star receivers in Hank Sullivan and Frank Kobes while Notre Dame has a potential all-America flanksman in Chai lie Sweeney. —.

Decatur concluded its football season only last Friday and members of the grid squad out for basketball have had little time to forget tackling tactics in favor of guarding without contact. Fans will see many unfamiliar faces when the Yellow Jackets take the floor for the first time tonight. Only two lettermen from last year’s squad are still in school, McConnell, regular forward, and Heller, reserve forwardBasketbawl owes an apology to Heller, the little forward who is one of the two lettermen back. In previous comments in the Democrat,' we failed to include Heller as a letterman. Hope our apologies are accepted.

Tuesday night, the Decatur Commodores chalked up their second victory of the season against the Panthers at Portland, 26 to 17. —oOo — Portland led most of the way during this game, although seldom by more than a single point, but the Commodores came through in the fourth quarter to pull out a decisive triumph. —oOo — While the Yellow Jackets are
