HUGE CROWD TO SEE IRISH AND TROJAN BATTLE Notre Dame Meets Southern California On Coast Saturday New York. Dec. 2—(URL-Notre Dame. Tennessee and Oklahoma football teams put their perfect records on the line tomorrow in the 1938 season finale. Notre Dame, top-ranking candidate for mythical national championship honors, meets an improving university of Southern Califorunia club at Los Angeles and a crowd of 95.000 was forecast. They were betting S to 5. or giving seven points at even money, that Elmer Layden's Irish will score their ninth consecutive victory. Tennessee, which meets Oklahoma in the Orange bowl at Miami Jan. 2 was a slight favorite over a powerful Mississippi team that has bowed only to Vanderbilt. This is a southeastern conference game, and a victory would lift Mississippi into a three-way tie for second place with Tulane and Alabama. Tennessee already has clinched the title. Oklahoma, big six champion, should easily defeat Washington State in their intersectional at Norman, Okla. State failed to win a game in the Pacific coast conference: its two victories were over Gonzaga and Idaho State. Duke and Texas Christian, the other members of the perfect record "big five." concludes their regular seasons last week and won “bowl” nominations. Duke got the prize package, a spot opposite South Cal in the Rose bowl, while T. C. U. will tackle Carnegie Tech in New Orleans' Sugar bowl. . o Today’s Sport Parade By Henry McLemore ♦ Hollywood, Calif., Dec. 2.—<U.R> — Charlie McCarthy called me a dummy yesterday Introduced to him on the Universal lot w-here he is making a picture with Bill Fields. Charlie returned my handshake with a nod of his head, a roll of his eyes, and: “So you're McLemore, eh? Well, well, well. Here's where I get off Bergen's lap. Crawl up there and let us have your predictions. That's where you belong if you can't do any better than you’ve been obing.” I explained to Charlie that I couldn't do that—that I couldn't possibly live on his salary of seventy-five cents a week —and besides. my public wouldn't appreciate a change in dummies. "Do you get more than seventyfive cents a week?" Charlie asked. I said I topped that figure by a

Is he under con'ract to Dunhill Pipes? It can't be that i they pay him as a sports expert, I so help me. As a matter of fact,; if 1 didn't have a date with Carole Lombard—uh I—l’d do some pic king for him." Our conservation was interrupted at this point, because the script | called for Charley, dressed as a I Maharajah, to be the central figure > in a disappearing act. Bergen, as the magician, made Charlie disappear, golden slippers, turban, and all. Then Bergen called for him and he didn't appear. He called again. No answer. The’rT Bergen turned toward the audience and tried to pass off Charlie's failure to re-appear. "We must not question the supernatural." he said. “Are there any questions anyone would like to ask?" Came a challenging voice from the bottom of the box in which Charlie had dropped. "Only one. dear Bergen." the unseen Charlie piped. “How in the devil do I get out of this box." Extricated. Charlie agreed to pick the Southern California-Notre Dame and the Rose Bowl results for me. "They'll clip 'em.' he said "They'll mow 'em down.” "Who,” I said. "Who'll mow ’em down? Who'll clip 'em?" "Harvard.” Charlie answered. “Northwestern What teams! What specimens of manhood! Eh, Bergen?" Bergen didn't answer. "He's mad." Charlie said. "Mad because I want to bet him my trifling big allowance for two weeks that Southern California will play a nothing to nothing tie and that Duke and Southern California will do the same. He says he thinks I'm right and that the games aren't worth going to see. The man agrees with me. Get Bill Fields in here, he won't. After* all, that Bergen is a fellow I can get along with—out.” “Won't Bergen bet you?" I said. I “No. whenever I approach him. even most distantly, he says, ‘shut up! I'll do she talking for us.' ” I asked Charlie if he really was serious when he said that both Saturday's game and the one on New Year's day would end in scoreless ties “Oh positively, oh most certainly. If 1 had any money I would bet that there isn't even a first

The sequel to the present film will have an Alnine setting. To the disappointment of their riends, who hoped it would be the >ccasicn for a reconciliation, the Jick Arlens did not have Thanksgiving dinner together. Dick ate urkey with the Paul Kellys. More ice-skating news from 4-G-M. "Hands Across the Borler” will feature the rivalry of a Canadian and an American hockey ’ team and, according to present >lans, Clark Gable will have to go last and perform on the ice before the audience at a real hockey game at Madison Square Garden. The movie troupe thus will get authentic crowd shots. Gable, who hasn't had skates on In 16 years, isn’t keen over the i idea. “Won’t that be a clam bake for those New York reporters?” he says, "Seeing me take all those r falls.” j Lew Ayres denies it but others insist he has taken a test for the role of Ashley Wilkes in “Gone With the Wind”. Wouldn’t be surprising. George Cukor, who directs the picture, was dialogue director on Lew's first big picture, “All Quiet on the Western Front”. He also sparked Lew’s recent comeback by giving him th- role of Brother Ned in "Holiday”. Alan Mowbray, who's not the : type, is one of the few actors who i has two swimming pools. The
