Trailing by five points, 13-8, at the end of the first half, the Commodores, rushing their opponents, cracked the Michigan City defense wide open in the third quarter to score IS points while holding the visitors to three points. As a result, the Commodores were out in front 26-16 as the third period ended and increased this margin early in the final quarter to 12 points, finally winning by the nine-point margin.

Dec. 5.— (U.R) — The 1938 football season is ended and, as so often happens, no one team has established a legitimate claim to the mythical national crown. Os the hundreds of elevens that started the campaign with high hopes, only four of mapor calibre swept through the season unbeaten and untied —Duke. Tennessee. Oklahoma and Texas Christian. These teams play in the various bowl games January 2, along with several others whose records show defeats but who nevertheless may still have claims on the title that does not exist. One in this latter class is Southern California which, although beaten by Alabama and Washington. rose to the heights Saturday by humbling Notre Dame 13-0. Everyone, except the Trojans, had said the Irish, whose previous victims included Minnesota. Northwestern. Carnegie Tech and Army, would nail down undisputed possession of the national title by walloping the Trojans. But Notre Dame made a couple of costly errors. Southern California capitalized on them and won the ball game. Out of the Orange bowl game at Miami may come one of the strongest of all claimants because that battle pairs the only two undefeated. untied epponents of the day— Tennessee and Oklahoma. Tennessee proved itself one of the greatest, overwhelming a good Mississippi eleven 47-0, and Oklahoma kept itself up front by licking Washing Ton State 28-0. Southern California has a date in the Rose Bowl with unbeaten and unscored-on Duke and a victory would give the Trojans stock a huge boost. Texas Christian tackles Carnegie Tech, conqueror of Pittsburgh and loser only to Notre Dame, in the Sugar Bowl, while Texas Tech, one : of the best unbeaten teams in the minor league rangs, opposes St. Mary's in the Cotton Bowl. In the other major games Saturday. Temple surprised Florida 2012; Rice defeated Southern Methodist 25-14, and North Carolina State defeated the Citadel 14-6. The 1938 campaign produced new champions In all but two major conferences. The repeaters were Minnesota in the big ten and Harvard in the big three. California, Pacific coast winner last year, shared that crown this season w’ith
